            I felt so excited last night about our new plan- to drive from Los Angeles to Toronto. As the matter of fact, it was my wife idea makes me kind of stunned since she has chronic automobile-phobia. Nevertheless, we are planning on driving from Los Angeles to Louisiana, Florida, Alabama and Georgia. It is remarkably amount of mileage there. I guess we will once again shock my family and the in-laws about our swaying of the plan. I think they will think that we are wacky. At first, we are thinking about selling our only minivan and flight back to Toronto. The cost of selling the van and buy a new one is enormous that we are better off keeping it. I will rely on my pedantic brother who always has a huge amount of knowledge and people, legislation you named it-He is our “Bac Hoc”- to do research for the transference of the van to Canadian license.

I’ve reading a lot amount Vietnamese History. Surprisingly, It is staggered that I did not have time to do any reading in last eight years. I wish I had more time to read. Well, I was lazy and involved too much social drinking. Sometime, it is nice to know a bit of history of your ancestors and become appreciated how we evolved. It is a nice way of paying a nice tribute to their effort of keeping the motherland.

I still review my USMLE. Microbiology is very intriguing. It is mostly logical and structural hierarchy. I love the part where we diagnostic the disease from the location of infections, the lab work to differentiate the specific bacteria. I also did a bit of reading on the western civilization. Starting from Greece Philosophers to the modern western civilization.

Finally, it is our last weekend here in Los Angeles, there are so many memoirs, friends, feelings left behind. I wish I would be able to carry them with me all the time. Lastly, My Boss formally offered me a job yesterday, Guess what? it is 60$US/10Hr/Week. That money will keep my kids fed for sometime.
