look, i'm on the t.v.

a while back i had the opportunity to discuss my japanese experience on a locally produced tv program called carolina people. i doubt any of you saw it because the show airs ridiculously early. it was an interesting chance for me to reevaluate my time overseas. in prepping for the interview i did some research to lend numbers and credibility to my stories, which put things in an interesting perspective. i thought about the social quirks in an objective way that had previously been difficult during my complete immersion in the culture. the whole process of readying the set, shooting, being interviewed reminded me how much i miss journalism and that i think it's an area in which, after training at it for years, i could excel. if you want to take a peek, check out this link and scroll down to october 23. word.
