Loaded (well loading).

Super stoked! I have access to a eMac, and even though we speak different languages we have gotten around the communcation issues and I am loading the CD's that I have bought along the way onto my iPod. That includes an gayatri Mantra CD; an Asha Bhosle and R.D. live in the USA double disc; Stina Nordenstam - And She Closed Her Eyes; Umphrey's McGee - Anchor Drops, and Kaki King - Legs to Make Us Longer.

Tomorrow I am going to talk to the travel agent about travelling around Japan for a bit - might stay away from Kyushu though. Might check out Kyoto and Osaka. It would be cool to check out Akita so I can tell Kabuki that I have visited her ancestoral home. Depending on how much it costs, I might head up to Sapporo just for something different. I will also decide if I will head back to Thailand for a bit while I wait to see what happens on the job front.

I have emailed a couple of places in China and am waiting for a response. Still not sure where I will end up -- it is not that I won't be able to find work in Japan, I know that it will be quite easy, I am just not sure about such an organised and structured place - or maybe I just a sucker for punishment.

I feel the presence of a presencw.

thank you for for keeping me anon, or at least meta-anon. (i have no idea what that actually means though. honestly, so of the things that pours out of mind, i just don't know.

it is interesting that you talk of wandering. i wrote an entry in my journal while sitting in the grounds of one of the Wats in Chaing Mai that went:

"... I find myself sitting here wondering, why it is that I feel I need to keep coming to places like these, to work out what it that I am doing with my life..."

On the next page of the journal;

"...does beg the question though - am I just wasting it away wondering what I am meant to do with it?

Waiting for the dust to settle."

Since that entry the dust has settled a great deal anbd I have found that ideas are flowing much more freely and i am writing much more which is one of the main reasons that I needed to get out of Melbourne for a bit - to get away from the steady rhythm of life there which did not allow much room for me to explore the creativity that I wanted too.

Japan is a strange and interesting place, still getting more of sense of this place, but one thing is for sure it doesn't quite fit the projected image that we see in the west. As I said their are oppourtunities a plenty here but will wait and see.

Got one offer for a place in China, they didn't list a salay though and it is in Central China in Zhengzhou. Sounds okay, but know that there is better out there.

Hi *i*****, Davo here. It is so good to finally know about this blog that you are keeping. Thought I might not hear from you in a really long time. It's funny here in school everybody misses you heaps. Sometimes I wonder if people really knew you that well to begin with. Sort of like a rock star that has climbed the charts once committing suicide. I have to give it to them though; you are a pretty cool teach/deadHead.

Shitt man, I need to tell you some stories about rainbow (this kind of public mean isn't appropriate though). If you have time, visit my blog and check out what I did to my van, I'fll travel this continent on it and its ready for war. Anyway I just wanted to tell you that you should let me know if you are going to Mexico because I'm sure that I could be of help. Or if you are in Europe (Russia or Denmark) this winter we could catch up. Take care man, and enjoy your travels.
