1/29/10 3:53 AM Tokyo Time


Spent the rest of the day people watching and reading a book I picked up at the store called "Smile when your lying" by Chuck Thompson. The book is pretty good. its about a travel writer who is published in all the crappy travel magazines and books. He exposes the whole industry to the reader. Probably not the best description of a book but I'm tired. I couldn't fall asleep in a flight full of people snoring away. I tried unsuccessfully to fall asleep with my drinking beer method. Through out this diary I feel like i have come off as bitter or unhappy when this is really not the way I always felt. This is just a way to relieve some tension from my surrounding and what I was feeling at the moment. In a lot of ways I had an amazing time meeting some great people, seeing things I have always wanted to experience. I traveled by myself discovering things at its purest and most difficult or somewhat difficult at least. Plus I did it all on my own which is exactly what I wanted from this trip. I had to make all the decisions about the destinations, how long to stay and pay at each hotel, where to eat, who to talk to, when to take risks. I feel Like I learned a bit more about self reliance. This whole last year has made me grow so much. Building my own business, moving to a new area and all the challenges that are involved in that. 35000 feet in the air and 4 beer later with little sleep is making me reflect on the whole year?! So what am I missing the most right this second you ask? 1. Bed 2.Dog 3.Friends and family. Wow that's it?
