Labor Day weekend was action-packed, relaxing, fun and just what the doctor ordered. San Francisco, Part II involved navigating the twists and turns of Lombard Street in a Dodge Grand Caravan - something I wouldn't recommend doing on a regular basis, and a drive across the Golden Gate Bridge, neither of which I had gotten around to doing the last time I was in the Bay area. Throw in a trip to a really funky restaurant that shall remain unnamed, about thirty beers and other assorted drinks in the course of four days and an absolutely great bunch of people and the result is one long party - a party I think I'm still recovering from.
Coming back to a string of international student orientations does nothing to help one get over a tiring trip. What it does do, however, is far better. Already I've met a Greek guy who trips on bhajans (!) and Ravi Shankar, a heavily-tattooed gay British art history major, a Chinese-Canadian piano virtuoso and an Indian who is the daughter of one of the Bajajs! And those are just the new students. Re-establishing contact with some of my co-volunteer friends from previous years has also been loads of fun and I'm looking forward hanging out with them once we're done with all of these events.
