Election Party




I have been quite busy over the past month. I gave a talk at the Fulbright Alumni conference, a talk at BNU and traveled to Chongqing to give a few talks at Southwest University. One of the highlights of recent weeks was the election party held at a swanky hotel by the embassy. There was a large crowd of people from all over the globe and CNN was being broadcast on two huge screens. The crowd was varied but I think mostly hoping Obama would be the next president. Several people got emotional when Obama gave his speech and this historic election finally came to a close.
