guy and i are leaving the country in october. we don't know where. first it was mexico, now it might be indonesia. he told me this and three things happened right away. i stopped working and...
1. looked up news. is there anything violent happening there? i'm afraid of violence. i've had enough in my life.
2. airline flights. does it cost a million dollars? not really. it's not so bad. and there is a stopover in Taipei. TAIPEI. me, in china. hi, i'm looking out the window and i'm seeing china! it just doesn't compute.
3. uh, what cities are in indonesia? i don't really understand asian geography. never have.
i NEED to travel. i've never left the country. i think there is something i need to see/feel/hear/touch/know about other cultures. when people talk of it, i get a glimpse inside an understanding that is so far way, i can barely see it's possibilities. this can't be good.
guy likes rough travel. it seems to be about full immersion. i'm trusting him on this one as we tend to require similar doses of things to feel their full effect.
holy crap. china.
