What amazing opportunities you’ve had. Sometime you need to write longer descriptions of what it was like for those of us who’ll never experience it.

To: mairdie

i was an expat in shanghai, pudong for 3 years
with a maid, driver, apartment
i flew upstairs in 747s 10s of times direct flights and got to know the pilot
the seats reclined into beds
would wake up as a the sun was coming up and breakfast was served

the best memory I have is a US customs agent looking at my passport after 13 months abroad, looking up at me eye to eye and saying “welcome home”

love my county
