Return to PA

My job finished July 16 so I will be returning to PA August 19. I just wanted to update all of you.

I'll be home at least a month before I head off to Calcutta, India to study Bengali. That's the language my boyfriend and his family speak.

I look forward to seeing you soon!

Did you know you MAKE it rain?

Well, apparently in China the gov. can make it rain! Or at least that's what everybody's been saying. Apparently they've been spraying some sort of chemicals into the air above the city to make it rain on appointed days. Creepy huh?

Looking at the weather forecast for Tianjin you'll see that it is to be 0% chance of rain all week then 100% chance on some random day. That's the chosen day!

I guess the purpose is to clear the dust out of the city and help with pollution before the Olympics. And the closer we get to the start of the Olympics, the more often it rains. I sure don't remember it raining this much last year.... I hope these crazy rain stories are just some big conspiracy theory but who knows. In this country, anything could happen.
