A teardrop-shaped keychain, with Hofstra University engraved on and the silly little stylized “H”. That’s the only tangible thing Chris Chowske has right now that has to do with his school. He doesn’t really care anymore for theater, or talks or displays. After graduation, it was mighty tough for anyone to find a job in the then-struggling economy, and he loathes reliance on his parents. Branching out was the best option at the time, and looking back, it might actually still is. He hopped in a flight to China to work as an ESL teacher, him with his Honors degree, and taught ESL to a group of Chinese archeologist. The Chinese were (and still) working in tandem with the Japanese on WW2 sites in Eastern Mongolia and North East China, and they have come to treat Chris as a good friend of the team, thanks to his enthusiastic English teaching and his childhood fascination with WW2. One thing led to another, and now Chris is a full time addition, doing various sorts of things from site photography to topographic measurements.
“Found your keys yet, Chousuke-san?”, calls a barely audible voice with a slight Japanese inflection from beyond the hilltop. “I have something interesting you might like to see.”
