Coming not quite as soon: Southern Thailand (it will depend on internet availability, but during March 5-19 I will be backpacking to National Parks and along the shore that was devastated by the tsunami)
So dude, you’re in Japan experiencing new worlds, and I am in Madison doing the same. Mary wanted to get me something golf related for my b-day so we went driving around and stopped at the Shoe Box in B.E. They actually measured my foot, helped find the shoes we wanted and used a shoe horn when trying them on. I haven’t been out there in a long time, and with my bad memory, it was a completely new experience for me.
Then we stopped by West Towne just to look at clubs and see the mall. I haven’t spent much more than 5 minutes in that place in five years. It’s amazing. They have a store where you “Build A Bear”, making your own teddy bear. Genius stuff, kids are building this connection to this teddy bear by starting with a dead, empty teddy bear carcass, having someone blow some white stuffing shit up its ass, and then picking out $50 worth of accessories for the thing (which by the way, exceeds my own clothing expenditures for a year). People are walking out that place with $50-75 teddy bears. This is the kind of idea we need to come up with to fund a life free of accounting, as in my case, and free of whatever it is you sell your soul for, and I know there are things, like hotel review drivel maybe.
Anyways, the point is to keep your eyes open for goofball shit that will sell over here.
Have a safe trip the rest of the way. Enjoying your blog.
