Fun Seeking

It is a little akward for me to live in a very small town in mid-west US as I was born and raised up in a city with 10 million people. In order to be not so boring after work or during weekends, fun seeking became a very important factor to keep live sustainable.

The good thing in summer is that a lot of interns around the same age do live in the town, you can either organize event or join event to know the people, thus enlarge your social circle. Last week, a birthday party was hosted at my place, although it was not my birthday. More than 15 people showed up and we definitely had a great time. Chinese food was prepared by a friend's parents and drinks were plenty. I love the sweet and sour rib. BE CAREFUL, this is not the sweet and sour thing at Chinese restaurant in US, this is REAL Shanghai family style sweet and sour rib. For the desert, I like the "OREO meatball". It was prepared by an undergraduate intern and he had to smash the OREO biscuit by hand. I wondered if his hand was clean enough to make it. But it tasted good!

Besides those events, I joined some sports game just to keep myself healthy, especially when I noticed that I am in my 30s. Playing basketball with younger folks is not a easy job, considering I am a non-atheletic Chinese. During weekend, I drove to Indy for hanging out with folks who are smarter as they decided to live in a real city. There are definitely plenty of restaurants and bars on the massachusette avenue in Indy. Being socially inactive for the first year of my MBA program, I certainly should know more people so that I can know a little more about everything.
