This is a group that will walk at a slow pace, about 20-minute miles. It's meant to be social, so we'll hopefully talk while we're walking. We'll mostly walk around the Brentwood Country Club, although eventually we may branch out to other routes. The walks will be during the day, not the evening. I would love for you to join us!

By similar backgrounds I specifically meant people from mainland China speaking Mandarin. Now I have lived here for almost five years and made lots of friends. But I kept seeing people just came here having a hard time adjusting themselves to the culture and life styles here. So I started to think maybe I should do something to help everyone getting used to thi …

Do you feel like you relate with so many, yet have met so many who rashly assume they probably won't relate with you? Do you feel like people seem to genuinely like who you are, yet even so, somehow don't quite know what to do with you in "their world?" Perhaps you almost feel like you're expected to focus on aligning your being with some kind of niche community or sub-culture, based on some di …
