Just to let you know that I'm still alive. I returned to Japan from China today, where the almighty Internet Authority had blocked blogspot.com, so I couldn't access my own blog anymore. And yes, I was just too lazy to use proxies to circumvent that problem.
Anyways. I owe you all a vast-sized account of the tales my life has spun in the past few days and weeks, but my graphics card is starting to die on me, which makes my computer randomly lock up and restart. Annoying, that! I guess my laptop's age is finally starting to show.
Right now, I'm sitting in the lounge of a backpacker hostel in Kyoto, decorated with a weird mixture of reggae posters, hiphop posters and sexist posters with nipples on them, and am trying to find another WWOOF host. The rough plan is to stay near Kyoto for a week, then go to the Nagano area for another week or so, and then finally gravitate towards Tokyo to get on that plane back to the fertile homelands.
Speaking of home, of course there is a part of me that looks forward to seeing all my friends again, to build a cozy little cabin with lots of pillows and candles, make friends with a cute kitty cat and invite it to live with me; but there's also the part that doesn't want to return to normality - doesn't want to get back to routine, resume studying, work, and all that everyday stuff. I think the far-away has gotten to me, has got me, and now it won't let me go again that easily.
Time will tell.
