Sometimes I think I should have a compass around my neck and a paper map in my hand.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Seriously, the Google Maps ap is great and it helps me know when to &#8220;tag out&#8221; with my Snapper card and hop off the bus (see picture below).  The bus rides are very interesting and I try to observe at least one new thing on each bus ride.  Today I happened into a Korean neighbor and enjoyed waiting for the bus with a few Korean elders. Most people (young and old) say &#8220;Thank you Driver&#8221; as they get off the bus &#8211; what a nice custom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am making progress with scheduling interviews &#8211; 3 are lined up and I&#8217;m hoping for many more.  When a practice manager said &#8220;We are keen to help&#8221; it was Kiwi music to my ears!   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"960\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/mpalumbo\/files\/2019\/02\/IMG_6773.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-99\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/mpalumbo\/files\/2019\/02\/IMG_6773.jpg 720w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/mpalumbo\/files\/2019\/02\/IMG_6773-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><figcaption>Off to &#8220;work&#8221; with my Snapper bus card in hand.
