I was supposed to go to the park today, but the guide I was going to go with canceled on me. I’ll be here another day I guess. I have made good use of my time in KK. I’m working on a really interesting project for when I’m in Jakarta. It is something I can …
I just got back from Macau. It has been a really long day and I’m exhausted. I took notes on my laptop throughout the day and will be posting them tomorrow with images. When you walk around a city by yourself, you get crazy thoughts sometimes. Last night I watched a really crappy pirate DVD …

I’m off to Hiroshima in a few hours. This will be the second train trip of my journey. The first being a 48 hour hellish experience from Dallas to LA. I expect this to go much smoother. The photos I have from Yakushima should be amazing. I was at Yakusugi early in the morning yesterday …
