I’ve added a “post-it note” to the above map of Asia, letting newcomers know that I’ve gone home. I don’t want to give up this site’s look and feel, and this was the best (and cheapest) solution I could think of.
Thanks Stacy.

The answers are (obviously) the following, in order:
1) “Eww, Strip Malls.”
2) “Ooo. Tex-Mex!”
and, about an hour or two later,
3) “Ahh, Clean Public Toilets.”

when i lived in Dallas, my family and I used to always eat at aplace called “On The Border,” conveniently located 745 miles north of Mexico (an approximation). And when I lived in Harlingen, Texas, we routinely used to eat at little cantinas that served the world’s hottest habanero omlettes.
sigh.

Boy, I was overwhelmed with several things. First, I forgot how hot Arizona is, and I burned my hand on my steering wheel the other day. I was shocked to see how Fox News (which didn’t exist when I left for Asia) has become a dangerous propaganda machine. All sorts of little things, the high cost of gasoline, the idiocy of reality TV, the angst over the job scene…. And yes, there’s a lot I miss about China and HK (and nothing about Singapore), especially when it comes to people. But I don’t want to wax nostalgic….
