The worker firefly flies to China.
Tomorrow I leave for Beijing to attend the Asia Europe Youth Forum on Culture and Environment. I shall therefore spend the next ten days as a lean-mean networking machine, information sponge, and trigger-happy member of the Canon Club. Yay.

Oh, and yesterday I got a job. I think. The Firefly Brigade recently got a $5000 grant from the U.S. to start up an office, and I think they hired me as their first ever paid staff member. I say "I think" because the application process was so ridiculously simple that I can hardly believe it happened. Great timing, though. Batanes clean cleared me out, and I was just thinking on the plane home that I should, yes, probably find work already. So yay again.

These past few weeks have been like Christmas. At the same time I get the feeling that there's a catch. Like I'm shopping on credit. And racking up debts-- to the world. I wonder what the world wants from me.

See you guys after June 16!
