I am not back to the U.S. yet โ€“ I probably wonโ€™t be back for another month as this business trip keeps getting extended โ€“ but I am back to blogging ๐Ÿ™‚ Not that I ran out of things to say โ€“ quite the contrary โ€“ but I got so busy with work that I no longer had time to blog. To give you a foretaste of whatโ€™s to come, upcoming posts will cover how Chinese farmers are funding U.S. consumption, travel recommendations for Turkey, discussions on renting versus owning, the state of the U.S. economy and the usual posts on movie and book reviews.
