Around the world, around the world...
Hi there! I am still alive. (: I was just in another hemisphere for awhile.

I got back from my 68 day visit to Asia on Sunday (May 6) at Ridiculously Late O'clock, a.k.a. Almost Monday. What a harrowing 20+ hours... But I'm here in one piece (which is more than can be said for my luggage *sigh*) and that's what's important. I have also learned a few things. For example, I now know that I never want to go to LAX for any reason ever again, that KFC in Korea is evil, and that my immune system hates me.

I don't really know where to begin writing about the whole trip. I went lots of places and saw so many things and had some weird little experiences... There were so many things I wish I had taken pictures of... mostly the engrish signs. Everyone knows how much I love engrish. One of my personal favorite examples is the "On Your Face Style" store, in Seohyeon, I believe. (Any guesses as to what they might be selling? Yes? No? Well, it's an eyewear boutique. Makes sense now, doesn't it? Would also make sense if they sold cosmetics.) Second to that would be the sign for a small mall we passed on the way to Namdaemun. It had a name that I don't remember, but under the name were the words "Ubiquitous Mall". If you have any clue what that might mean, please explain it to me. I did get a picture of a sign in Tokyo, though, for a store called Pink Wood. And it wasn't a sex shop.

Wow. I'm tired like no one's business, even though it's only 2:30 pm here. Dunno if it's because I'm still jet-lagged or if it's the cold/allergy/god-knows-what thing which I'm guessing I caught on one of the planes. The worst of it seems to be over, thank goodness. It resembled an ear/sinus/throat infection at first. (My voice is still all croaky.) Anyway, I'll write about Asia either later tonight, after I've napped, or tomorrow.

Oh yeah. My accomplishments for today, so far: made pumpkin bread/muffins this morning, uploaded some travel pics to myspace and sorted them into two very concise albums, and put a flea collar on poor little Jack. I also caught myself up on blogs... and shopping sites. I need new clothes. :p
