In June 2010, I graduated from Webb Institute in New York with a Bachelor of Science in Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering. After working as an engineer on the lower fringes of New England for a year, I am studying Transportation and Shipping at MIT. Though I am no longer a Webb student traveling the world on internships, my passions for adventure blogging, music, and culture overall thrive. Enjoy my observations, and please share your own.

I like your photos and descriptions of life in Shanghai. It makes me feel like I’m there. Please show a photo of the view from your apartment window as well. Are you doing any cooking yourself yet? How much are the factory made violins??
The list price on the violins is $4,000! After I gave the shop keepers a little concert on one of them – which sang extremely well – they said I could have it for $2,000 if the owner agreed. This was with a friend present who was acting as an interpreter. I hope they’re not all that expensive. I’m also looking for erhu lessons.
I am James Qu, the boy who sat next to you in LINGO English SANLO in 2/12 evening.
Hey, like the new banner. We’ve gotta get more uploaded on the summer trip, tons of good material. Let me know if I can help.
