I'll try to keep this short. I realized that I was unhappy with the decision to go to Taiwan, so I didn't move on it as quickly as I should have. The fellowship offer was withdrawn. At this point, I was/am in Hong Kong and I'm making plans (the visa comes back on Monday, and I have a train ticket for Tuesday in my pocket) to spend the next year working with an acquaintance at a comfortable job in Shanghai. I've got two boxes of stuff and a computer in a friend's basement in Ann Arbor, so I'll have to be back in Michigan at some point.
