As promised, here are further insights on the LA International Auto Show. Or ramblings. Whatev’. I’ll bring this to you in installments, because it’s going to be simply too long to be bearable. Here’s a preview:

Emily was kind enough to [...]
I went back a while ago and saved all my status updates so I could relive the events that weren’t blog-worthy and couldn’t be or weren’t captured by my camera. If you were my friend and regularly read your facebook feed while I was gone, this will all be familiar. If you weren’t, didn’t, or [...]
Yesterday, Andy, Emilie, Andy’s co-worker Dave, and I drove up to LA for the Auto Show. We got to see hundreds of cars (not the least interesting of which were sitting in the parking garage!) and walk for HOURS.
While I have no doubt at all that Andy would be able to provide a more [...]
Here’s the rest of my Tokyo adventure story. The part of the Tokyo adventure story that actually takes place in Tokyo. Almost there, I promise.
Sitting on the train platform, I determined that I would get as much sleep as possible on the train back from Nagoya, then arrive in Tokyo and look, [...]
I’d like to share the story of one of the craziest adventures I had this summer, which mostly took place in Tokyo. But first, Narita. Then, Nagoya. You’ll see.
I didn’t do a whole lot of what you could call “planning” for my trip to Japan. I’m naturally a list-maker, but the summer in Korea [...]
This weekend, a few of the other interns and I took a trip to Busan, a resort town in the far southeast of South Korea: a train ride of just over 4 hours from Suwon. I wasn’t sure what to expect and anyway, expectations are a generally bad policy for an American in South Korea: [...]
Jesus has changed Sunday from the toughest weekday in Korea to one of the better ones, and the major tool He’s been using is Skype. Today, I got to chat with my family for the first time since I arrived. It was such fun to hear and see them! Even got to say “hi” to [...]
It occurred to me that, in reading my previous entries, you could conclude that I dislike my employer or that my colleagues do. I wanted to clear that up a little.
First, I haven’t decided what I think about Samsung or the prospect of working there long-term. I am intentionally delaying make a judgement on [...]
Stop me if you’ve heard this one…
Three men arrive at hell’s gate: a European, an American and a Samsung man. The devil gives them each a phone call before they enter. The European calls his wife: he tells her he loves her and he’s sorry for leaving. He’s on the phone for 1 minute [...]
Today we finished orientation, met our teams, and started work. Everyone I talked to had a different experience; I’m only qualified to tell you about mine.
Although my day started a little late (around 9) because of some HR housekeeping, it was pretty overwhelming. My computer had not yet arrived and my boss and official [...]
