Just got back from a couple days in Boston to attend the annual Asian American studies conference -- my annual intellectual vacation.
While the Cherry Blossoms are out in force in these parts, New England seemed to be still gripped by windy, wintry weather.
Some of the highlights of my trip:
- hearing some local Asian American rock bands at a gig in Cambridge
- reconnecting with some acquaintances from years ago
- seeing a film about 2nd-generation Asians in Britain, specifically musicians with origins from the Subcontinent
- touring the Cambodian community in Lowell, Mass. (2nd largest behind the one in Long Bch., Calif.)
Maybe I'll be able to comment in further detail, in future postings, on my experiences.
