I'm not sure I've outlined this in public before, but I've sketched out a rough plan for my life.

<ul>
	<li>Study and earn MS (PhD?) from University of Michigan in Chinese studies, with a focus on Chinese art, history and language.</li>
	<li>Become an itinerant freelance translator for backwater museums in China, whose English signage is generally lacking.</li>
	<li>Settle down in Beijing and open a multi-lingual bookstore catering to the diplomatic, expat and intellectual communities.</li>
</ul>

But as they say in <a href="http://www.comteqcom.com/dictionary.php" title="For the Yiddishly Challenged">Yiddish</a>, <q title="man plans and God laughs">Mann tracht und Gott lacht</q>.
