Last week marked 6 months since I left California and set out on this little adventure. I'm not going to say something boring and undescriptive like, "Uh, well, it's been fun..." It would be a grievous injustice to just sum up the last 6 months with a phrase like that. So despite a lot of you emailing me requesting a 6 month recap/reflection of the trip so far, I'm not really ready for that. Instead, here's what I've been up to for the last few weeks.

This may be a big 'Duh!' for a lot of you. It was for me as well, I guess. At least in a certain sense. In the past few months, though, this equation has been pounded into my head via personal experience. So perhaps that's the reason this revelation seems that much more prophetic to me.
Anyways, English = Money. In so many ways this sentence is the bane of international commerce. This isn't a rule that only extends to the realm of international business. It's not just corporate CEOs and Chinese businessmen armed with an MBA who are recognizing this. Common people in places all over the world are starting to realize what has been probably been true for the last decade or two: English is a language that you need to know if you want to be successful. Although I'm not a big fan of the guy, Dick Cheney may have been right when he said that America is the new Rome because English is definitely the new Latin.
