the whirlwind

yesterday was my last day of work... there were smiles, tears, and some beers. afterwards though i realized that it was the last day of the longest job I had ever held... sniff sniff.. no i didnt cry, because in a way, beleieve it or not, I stiff can't believe that i've spent the last year aand a half in tokyo japan.

so today starts the asian tour. in about 10 minutes i will leave for the airport to travel to thailand! heck yeah!!! massages, cheap food, temples older than time, i can't wait. I get back sunday and promptly get on an eight hour train to kyoto, nara and koyasan, where i will spenfd the night among meditating monks.

i'll return on the first of april, rest a day (ok, actually the 2nd is the penis festival so i wont be resting), and then head to beijing on april 3rd for a week. I return on the 8th, then spend a glorious week in tokyo enjoying the 'best time of the year' sakura veiwing. ahh yes, be ready for mass photos... speaking of... i need to post some more photos from skiing and the like... well, i gotta get back to you on that... Bangkok and the Thai people are waiting.... And always remember the famous Confucious saying, "Man who walk through airport door sideways going to Bangkok".
