F@O

Since being in Beijing i have become involved in multiple organizations and groups. My favorite of these, and most important is Friday @ the Oasis. I was asked to be a part of the leadership of this group and even though i really didn't know what it was i agreed.

It was one of the best decisions i have made in a long time. 

Basically we are a group the reaches out the NUMEROUS international students in Beijing. we try and create an environment that is relaxed and an easy place to hang and just.... be. our fearless leader, Jason Chu, is an ABC (American Born Chinese) he also graduated from Yale (pretty sharp dude). he has become somewhat of a mentor and role model to me, and is an all around awesome guy. he also found me a place to stay, which also happens to be where he lives as well.
