Crazy Two Weeks / Dream Bike!
So this past two weeks, I’ve slept in Academy Buildings (Not Dorms… hiding out in Academy Classroom buildings), on the street on Haight, Golden Gate Park, the alleyway by Bike Kitchen, and made a new friends and hustled enough money for a new cell phone, haircut, and windbreaker.

Recurring Features
So, in the interest of still posting when nothing interesting is happening, I will try and have a few recurring features: Sina Historica- Likely a multipart series on little known aspects of Chinese History.
