mmmmm sounds tasty!

Good luck with this! I spent a summer in China and Japan and the reverse culture shock (coming back) was pretty bad. It was like 6 months before I felt "normal" again. Maybe you could start researching schools online now, so you have something to look forward to when you get home?

Oh, very neat! Thanks!

When I was in China we did Tai Chi in the town square- there were a couple hundred of us, so it was awesome!

I'm 24

I've seen some with white belt divisions- your best bet for that is very very large tournys.

Hmmm.... all of those sound good. Except vegetarian- I don't think I can get my man to eat something that doesn't have meat

I just finished a job doing biomedical engineering and will be looking for another (also I have to finish school). In a perfect world where I would be able to take my family with me and skip any danger for them and not have to worry about money, I would like to be a photo journalist.

Anyone have any good recipes?

Depends- If med school, I'd say something easier like English, just be sure to fulfill your prereqs. If something lesser- radiology, bioengineering- go with something sciencey and fun... neurosci?

I would really really like to learn snowboarding- do you have to know how to ski first?

There was a pretty good discovery channel or whatever special on this- I'll look and see if I can find it.

I think that this is a pretty comprehensive list- not that there will ever be a complete list.

What a great opportunity! Welcome!

Good call- or maybe some UFC fights that you have watched and deem appropriate.

Hehe, great saying

I think that what you did was good considering that you were at work

Have you told him that you liked doing it because you liked spending that time with him? If it's something he's now only moderately interested in and doesn't want you wasting your time he might change his mind when he knows that you just like the experience with him. Also, when you put money into something like that, he has to understand that it is a commitment. Possibly you could request that he just gets though his next grading before he quits so that he wouldn't have wasted the time since his last test. He may get back into it and remember why he liked it in the first place.

I have- but that was when I lived in the back woods of WV and back yard fighting. Since I moved into the city, no such fun.

I think that more than anything practicing kicking helps kicking, but if one is inflexible enough, split stretching can make a difference.

Eat a lot of protein and work out- really I suggest you talk to your doctor. He/She should have some suggestions for your body type specifically.

Congratulations!

Congrats!!!

Preform all the katas and techniques up to that point, spar a lot for a long time and against multiple people at once, and I believe possibly come up with some new contribution to the system... but that may be second dan.

Goodness, the anticipation would kill me Do they wait that long so they can all confer on everything?
