Won't happen nowadays

Had me going to check too. Unbelievable how you can win so much yet still be a loser

Spending on month on an Island so 5 year old can go to kindergarten and have some stable contact with other kids. After a couple of weeks life just kind of becomes life, almost regardless of where you are in the world

Celtics are always the heel

Travelling from Japan to Thailand felt like I reached some backwards third world country.

Five weeks later travelling from Vietnam to Thailand feels like we arrived in a futuristic utopia

Japan is so easy to love, the girls want to move here already. It's difficult to convey the darker side of things but the gods of conformity take a heavy toll on the populace

After a full day in Harajuku my feet and wallet are aching but heart and mind are full

Some people come to Tokyo and are excited to have Sushi or Wagiu, me on the other hand:

I am trying to break your heart

Although Reading and learning about the civil war from locals and outside sources has left me with mixed feelings, as recently as 2009 death was ever present, The Tamil minority was practically beaten to a pulp it has changed my perception of Buddhism forever

20 days in Sri Lanka are up,
It's a beautiful country with the wildest greenscapes I've ever seen. The beaches are beautiful, the people are welcoming and the poverty and chaos are much more manageable than in India. We saw leopards and elephants in the wild and ate very good food

After ten days the reality of not going home is setting in, being a nomad family is a whole different thing though.

Back to work taking meeting with this as my background

Three days to go until our first leg, too much stuff to get done, then I laundered my headphones 😐

Just don't be weird I guess

Leaving in 10 days, most of the apartment is in boxes.
Fear and anxiety creeping but as soon as we are on the airplane we put that behind us.
