This is my friend Rachel. We were hanging out at Province Hall, the new state government building. It has a large park-like area in front of it including fountains with lights that change color (behind us). If you look closely at the front of my shirt, you can see a big stain. That's because I'm still learning how to eat with chopsticks.

On Friday night, my office had a welcome party for me. We went to dinner and then on to karaoke. They had English songs as well as Korean ones, so I joined right in and had a blast!
