I hear ya about the whole getting-to-know-everyone-super-fast-while-traveling-thing, so true. I think it's all a part of the living-in-the-moment thing, which we do so much more when we're traveling with only enough to live on on our backs and no social ties so a need to make them (since we're social creatures). If you end up in Yunnan (SW China), let me know, I'll be out there doing research on minority languages from March to June! Cheers! -Kate (from Thailand! well not actually, but you know. Just got married so didn't think you'd recognize the new name!)
