This summer, I studied at Peking University in Beijing.<\/p>\n<p>I, unexpectedly, came home for about six days before my program with Kansai Gaidai in Japan starts this fall. It has been quite a busy and hectic summer but I am excited to begin the next chapter of my studies. This is the first time I&#8217;ll spend more than just a couple days in Japan ever since I deployed there for seven months in 2013. I look forward to the experiences and new perspective as a civilian rather than in the military&#8211;especially considering I&#8217;ll have a much better opportunity to learn as much as I can about the culture, language, and more while building and maintaining friendships with the locals. My plane will board shortly, I&#8217;ll update you in a couple weeks!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Greetings!
