Semporna, Borneo: Dec. 21

More (and bigger) pictures from this day can be seen on my Flickr account. The four of us got up early on Sunday and flew Air Asia to Borneo. One of the reasons Air Asia flights are so cheap is because they don’t have assigned seating. Upon boarding, you grab any available seat on the [...]

More (and bigger) pictures from this day can be seen [...]

Flying to Kuala Lumpur Tomorrow

It’s almost vacation time!  My bags are packed, but I’m not taking much since I’ll only be gone for two weeks.  My camera gear is about the size of my clothes and toiletries (below).  As of this writing, I’m still not sure whether I want to take my backpack, or small suitcase with wheels.  It’s [...]

I’m here in SoCal

975 miles and 17 hours later, we made it safe and sound to sunny southern California.  We left at 6:15 am and my mom drove until 1:30 pm.  I took over at a gas station and continued the rest of the way until 11:00 pm.  When my dad died, my uncles made the same trip [...]

Pickpockets

Whoa, Milan has a lot of pickpockets.  Watch the video and see how many “scatter” when the police come. I’ve never been pickpocketed in Asia, but from personal experience, watch out for the subways in Athens.  There wasn’t anything in my pocket, but the kid had the audacity to attempt stealing something from the velcro [...]

Safe and sound in Orygun

Tonight is my second night back home. The journey here wasn’t too bad. I arrived at Incheon Airport around 8:30 am for my 11:00 am flight. While walking around, I found the free cell phone battery charger near “J” section. There were a set of instructions in English, but they weren’t very clear. After a [...]

HOW TO – Do a visa run to Japan (Fukuoka)

I did a visa run to Japan last week, and wanted to write a “How to” post before I forgot all the details. The following is very detailed with lots of pictures – probably not interesting for those outside of Korea. Almost all English teachers have to do a visa run some point during their [...]

Japanese paper

I LOVE fine paper.  Everything about it – the texture, fibers, weight, the feel of sheets between your fingers, the sound different papers make when you fold or crumple them, how the texture and font of a business card can convey so much, and how my mind runs wild with ideas when I see beautiful [...]
