Japan

I know I'm relentlessly negative about being here but in the end it's not so bad. After all, it's just about moving personal space around and if it happens to be across the globe, much the better if the transition is smooth, and being here in Nara is like putting on a favorite old shoe, so it cancels out all the hectic plane rides and transport crap.

It's 1:10 a.m. and I'm so awake I may as well have snorted a couple of lines but it's very very quiet here in the countryside which is more than I can say for Cote-des-Neiges, where there's always a bus ready to drown out your most piquant amorisms.

So hey, folks, it's Nightfly on headphones and Japan like a cloak and I wish you all peace and light and hope to get through the trial that will be tomorrow. But knowing you guys are around makes it so much easier.
