Cambodia.

In Cambodia now.... just went to angkor wat. Will upload pics soon!

This country has good food at nice prices.

Knowing you...

You wait for clear skies...

To tell us how changes come about....

With the sunlight.....

HK and Malaysia

Recently got back to HK-  feels great to be back "home".  

 I look pretty emo in this picture.  Long international flights will do that to you....

But getting back was great.  HK is the best.

A day or two later got on a plane to malaysia to catch the beach for a couple days.  Been pretty nice so far.

The beach! The beach!
Communism's last stand.  I wonder if I can get some free food?

Distance to world cities.

Its not that far... but I wanna go back to HK

Ideals

Everyone has ideals, images, beliefs, hopes of the way things are, or they should be.
My hometown is small, too small for me now. But, I have an idealized image of it and my childhood. Mostly, I look back at these things through music. Now, im listening to Counting Crows. Their music brings me a sense of simplicity, with some nostalgia. Similar to how I feel about my hometown. When I am here (As I will be for only 1 more day), I feel like I want to leave, because its too small. But the smallness, combined with my upbringing here, bring a small sense of nostalgia and feeling for the past.

I am not a very nostalgic person. I look to the future, and I don't want to repeat or relive the past. But its good to look back, especially when one is about to leave, and appreciate or at least acknowledge what has happened. And for me, the best way to do this is through music.

STICKER PIC MANIA

One of the best things about japan are the Purikura (sticker pictures)

Here are some cool ones I got with some friends before doing Karaoke.

This is my favorite

I stole her gucci bag

kawaii deshou!!

I wanna take more sticker pics when I go back to Hong Kong~

LETTER MANIA

Recently I started writing a lot of letters to different people I have met.  It's pretty fun.  Honestly I used to hate writing letters but now I think its cool.  Speaking of which- if you want a letter, even if I don't know you, I will send you one (seriously) if you leave your address in the comments.  Also, I'm gonna update this blog more now.  Thanks pengyou (you know who you are) for encouraging me to do so.  

Rilakkuma (relax bear- a popular japanese cartoon)- this one looks a little evil though ;).  

The friend who i tried to send this to says she didn't get it... which is highly annoying.  Maybe the Japanese Post office is messed up?  If you ask for a letter and don't get one in like a month tell me.  

ONSEN FESTIVAL

One day I suddenly decided to leave the dorms and just go downtown.... It turned out to be a good decision, as I walked into the middle of an Onsen Matsuri (festival). There was a huge parade thru the downtown area.
YAH! YAH! YAH!

those people were standing on the top, and everyone holding the platform was trying to shake them off! crazy

Matsuri!

lotsa people
kids!
