The end is near...

...meaning, the end of our time in Suzhou that is. For America, it's a great beginning. I took this photo of my TV in the middle of the night when Obama was being sworn in. Never thought I would care this much about an American president. The world feels different now, positive, hopeful and literate. Every time I hear Obama speak I can't help but compare him to Dubya, McCain for worse, Palin. There is just no comparison.
