Dole grapefruit juice and the Friday morning.

It's Friday morning! Yay! It's only two more weeks until I'm out of this chapter of my life and moving onto the next. A little sad but more than relieved. I really believe I became complacent and dulled whatever sharp aptitude for learning I had. No more German language learning, no more meeting new people, no more lust for travel. A change of scenery will be good. Not that I didn't get a lot out of it, but in this little corner of the world, my life just sucked.

I bought a whole 1.8L carton of Dole grapefruit juice Monday and now I have more than have of it to finish today. The 'finish within 5 days of opening' label must have hidden away from my morning grime-crusted gaze. Oops. So more grapefruit juice for me today! Yay! I wonder what my high score on text twist will be today.

Oh! I have a rough plan of how I plan to travel.

China
Kunming
Lijiang
Tiger Leaping Gorge
Kunming (transit)
Lhasa
Rhongpu Monastery
Everest Base Camp
Lhasa (transit)
Guilin
Yangshuo
Shenzhen (transit)
Hong Kong
Macau
Taipei

Southeast Asia
Thailand(where?)
Phnom Penh
Angkor Wat
Phnom Penh (transit)
Hanoi
Halong Bay
Hanoi (transit)
Penang Bay
Singapore
Taipei (>Home)

Long Trip eh? Should take a good 2 months or so. I really need to buy all the Southeast Asia airline tickets, but a more defined plan is in order.

Dude. That is beyond awesome! I think you will have a marvelous time traveling and it will renew your spirit for sure. I am a little sad too, but that is easily overshadowed by the fact that I know this is right and will make you much happier. Plus there's a greater chance we'll get to hang out more! =)... cute blog
