Oh my god
Eugenie is talking about her exboyfriend. He makes the 'ex' in 'exboyfriend' a beautiful thing. I am thankful and my own boyfriend is thankful. Not a little fear was felt about how we would break it to Eugenie, that there would be no double dating. Anyway, my best friend in Tokyo is talking, and I'm...

Salsa Waxing Soul
A wave of Salsa hits the Tokyo nightlife scene dead center. It is tidal. It is a force that carries within it the power to transform. All it requires is an introduction. Yoshi, our salary man to the left works late hours for a software company. He heads a division of Research and Development. Mai is...

What else is there
How about doing something that takes your breath away, that shouts to the world what is in your heart. What else is there, but fear?

Crazy
I can't decide if I have just been run over by a truck, trampled by the Statue of liberty, or attacked by my shower head. All agressive notions that do not compare to the affliction of.....my vacation in India. Blown away. Yet leaves are blown and gently tossed, left to land where they may. No, I...

Moss and Incense
The next day I am exhausted. I need sleep. Or, I need icecream. Obviously. So I skip the white bread and go for the icecream. I hit my favorite Starbucks.

Nara and the evil pancake man
I say good-bye to goldilocks. I am in a place called Nara. Nara was the capital before Kyoto ever was. Just like how vanilla ice cream was popular before chocolate. Nara is also heavily templed. I have to devise a strategy to stay sane. I want to head for the hills so of course, I go straight to...

I see the ghost of my boyfriend
His name is 'blahblahblah' Golding. Ok, so I never asked him his name. It didn't seem important. This is how it all begins.... It is an early morning. I come downstairs for the breakfast served by the hostel. I go straight for the fish and rice, by now accustomed to my new Japanese self and all that...

He's looking at me.
I'm looking at him. But not in that way! Not in theee way! We are looking in each other in that hazy yet captivating cloud of recognition that we are foreign. Sometimes you see someone, and that recognition gets clearer, and becomes in fact, a mirror. This is when you either laugh or you cringe. You...
