SETTING SAIL FOR DAI NIPPON

Here I am, a few days before my departure to the eastern side of Nanjing. Monday will witness the rouse of my three-day journey; in honesty, I'm not so nervous about the event as I am expectant of it -perhaps a tacit acknowledgement of the fact that in less than a half a week life as I have become used to will shift into a different course once more. Still, I cannot help but grin like a madman on designer drugs as I write. I am going back to Japan in less than four days! :-))
