Evicted In Asia

Listen, it's time to go. They're actually asking us to leave. My neighbor and I are having shushing battles. I might eat her dog. I've been here too long; I need to leave. I'm surly with my students. I've started a full scale assault on determining how many different types of pharmaceutical prescriptions I can acquire before I depart. My cat knows that something is afoot. He won't stop crying. I feel better that I'm replacing myself with someone else from my community. But I don't feel well. I got acupuncture the other day and found that I'm much more skeptical of sticking needles in my skin and laying under a heat lamp than I previously believed myself to be. I'm not sure of my place in the world, yet I've been assured that it's not here. The eagle departs in less than a month. Hello future.

As of Late

So I haven't been writing much but some things still happened anyway, not my fault. Most notably we hopped on the boat and made a reverse invasion. We spent 2 days in Nagasaki and 1 in Fukuoka scarfing sushi and gulping sake in an ironic celebration of Chinese New Year. We had an amazing time. Japs are great: super friendly, civilized, and down right interesting. Case in point, they have electronic bidets in public toilets. "Must the janitors have the equivalent of an ITT Tech degree?" I pondered as I shat on a heated seat. Anyway, other things have happened, but they've been in Korea so they're comparably mundane (to us that is; you dear reader would be thoroughly amused if you had the sac to buy a plane ticket to visit your friends wilting in their crepuscular loneliness half way round the globe). So check some photos and be amused. We miss your beautiful faces as do we miss the voices that accompany them, so please comment.
