It doesn't take much looking around to notice the changes in the last ten years.

I left work, my trip home about 3 times the length it used to be mostly due to construction of a huge residential project on my commute. I passed several gas/electric hybrid cars on the way to the grocery store, in order to buy gift cards for some of the family.

After I walked in, a hotel shuttle pulled up and about 20 Air China stewardesses exited all in full uniform. I'm not sure what they intended to shop for.

And I came home to blog all about it.
