Chicago, IL
Its late. Greg and I are staying at "Woji's" apt in downtown Chicago. Woji is another ex Cnation employee. Woji, his girlfriend, Greg and I met up with Ray, another ex Cnation employee, and went out for Thai food. It was strange to see them all again after so long, but good to see them doing so well. Woji is doing freelance computer work now and Ray is teaching design at a local University.
We still have not had much sleep, but press on. Tomorrow we'll tour Chicago for a couple hours before driving to Ann Arbor, which shouldn't be too long a drive. The day after that we'll be driving straight to DC, which IS a long drive.
Last night Greg and I stayed in a small hostel in Lincoln, NE. It was an inexpensive hostel with free laundry, which we took full advantage of. We also had a fascinating discussion with a student from Beijing. We talked about how our countries differ and what issues both American and China face in the future. If I wasn't so tired, I would write more about this discussion. If only to remind myself I will post this one question he asked me. "Why do the American people allow corporations to have so much control over their government?"
Why indeed.
