I'm flying JetBlue on its All-You-Can-Jet Pass. Total cost: $599 + $89 for taxes to Bogota. There will be a lot of waiting around. Luckily (1) I love airports and (2) I'll have my laptop.
Yay!
Wow, toast + coffee = heavenly. I've been eating breakfast quite regularly. (Helps to have nowhere to rush off to in the morning.) It's such a delicious meal, no matter how simple! Today, I've got the addition of two Morningstar breakfast patties. I've been unintentionally cutting back on meat products. I wonder if it's because of subconscious guilt for eating so many yummy, yummy chickens in Malaysia and Singapore. So yummy. So very, very yummy.
Oh yes, I still need to blog my trip. So much to share. I'm glad I wrote most of it down, otherwise it'd be lost forever because my memory is terrible. Well, at least I'd remember all the important stuff - like where and what I ate and how it tasted. Yum. Yum. Yum. I went to Berkeley and realized something: IT'S SO GHETTO THERE. ZOMG. And I have no idea how to get around even though I lived for years there, even after graduating from Berkeley. I guess you have to keep refreshing things by incorporating it in your life somehow. Otherwise, out of sight, out of mind without a GPS (or a friend who knows where you're going). I heard a cover of "Moon River" by this Chinese singer, Khalil Fong (YouTube link to the song). I was in Hong Kong at the time, standing in an HMV using their listening booths for free because I'm a deadbeat and things in HK are kinda expensive. But I loved these lines:And of course I've heard the song before. Many times. And I instantly thought about the Sex and the City episode when Big left New York for Napa and he and Carrie danced to the song. I guess in that moment, for me, being in a foreign land listening to the song, it felt nice to have this idea of drifting and floating, even if it's drifting away from the one(s) I love. Because we're going after the same thing, right? We'll meet up eventually. That's life for you.
Guy One (Chinese dude in the forefront of this photo) was speaking to Guy Two (Japanese dude in-focus in the photo). It should be noted that their English isn't great. But hilarious it is.
G1: You're very good looking. [slight pause] Are you a model?
