Edge of the Next


Here i sit, sated after a meal worthy of a prince on my last night in Japan.

In the beginning, Japan was just an interlude, breaking up my flight to Paris, a stopover and a curiosity. That was on the 3rd of march, 7 weeks later (including one week in Taiwan and one week in Takayama, Kyoto/Nara) I want stay longer, or at least be able to come back soon. I have seen ancient swords, bronze Buddhas, exquisite temples and grand mountains. Heard beautiful new music, grappled with the beginnings of another language and eaten exotic delicacies, but I want to come back just because of a handful of people I happened to meet.

Each amazing in their own right with their own lovable quirks and a surprising lack of irritating habits they have been what has made this leg of my journey so memorable.

But I look forward to europe, although I trade increasingly warm and sunny weather for the rather chilly climes of northern europa, new languages, architecture, plants and animals and new people all to be photographed AMAZINGLY AWESOMELY by me are just over the horizon (a few times over I think, in an 8 hour flight).

  3. I will be there, unless changing my ticket costs the earth, in which case I will go back to aus and get another flight to thailand, eat street food, keep my current increasingly wild hair and meet oh so messy you.

    Thank you. Coming from you that means a great deal.
