Master Po: Close your eyes. What do you hear?
Caine: I hear the water, I hear the birds.
Po: Do you hear your own heartbeat?
Caine: No.
Po: Do you hear the grasshopper which is at your feet?
Caine: Old man, how is it that you hear these things?
Po: Young man, how is it that you do not?

Busy busy lately. So many things have happened the past two weeks… I started at my new job, so I’ve just been settling in comfortably over there.

I’m heading to Japan in a few days, but aside from that, no real immediate travel plans. I did, however, dig up my travel journal (I carry this tiny moleskine, I can hear the groans now, while I travel). So hopefully once I get back from Japan, I’ll kick my blog black to life with some weekly postings, mostly excerpts and photos from my journal. I think I’ll start off with my notes from my Mt. Kilimanjaro climb (actually one of the main reasons I even started this blog was to share this story. Never really happened orz). Followed by India, and then my Mt Kota Kinabalu climb. I’ll probably find other interesting things in my journal to throw up on my blog.

Look forward to it (or not)!
