Rebooting

So last time around, when I was studying abroad in Shanghai, I wasn't especially diligent about this. In retrospect, I regret that, and have decided to make a much better effort to get this going as I prepare to move back to Shanghai later this fall. Last year, in what few entries I posted, I mostly stuck to China-centric topics. This time around, I'll be covering a larger swath, getting into not only my experiences with China, but more personal touches: things I find interesting, political stuff, etc.
