Actually yes. I presented a paper at a big HCI-I conference. The conference travels around the world and this year it will be in LA in August.

August is a bad month to have been in Beijing. The temperatures are over 100 degrees F so that adds to the smog and pollution. I liked climbing up the Great Wall -- it was all fascinating and I'm glad I went, but I'm not a very good traveller. Not sure if that will change in my lifetime.

But listen, if you have an uncle who is inviting you and if you can afford to get over there, do it. Explore, live. Be as under 30 as you like, now might be the time.

When you say "sabbatical" what do you mean?
