Oh and one other thing... that feeling of hatred for Bush and support for Obama seems universal in Asia. People in Singapore talk about how great Obama will be all the time. My in-laws in the Philippines are the same.
It amazed me on moving here how much these foreigners follow our politics. You don't see Americans talking about or sweating over who the next President/Dictator of whatever country will be. The idea that they would be so concerned with the next US president just never occurred to me...
By the way, your journals are fantastic. It's like reading an adventure story. You ever thought of doing little travel guides with those drawings and trying to publish them? Something in that style would probably sell well, because it has a more "real life" feel to it than those super clean travel brochures you usually find.
