A year ago, I ended a major chapter of my story. The setting was Nepal, the characters were my INDEV friends, and you all seemed to enjoy following the plot. Now, I have a new story to tell, and since the last one was so well received, I thought I'd share this one with whoever cares to read it. Since my last post, I've finished 2 semesters of my Master of Global Affairs program at the Munk School of Global Affairs within the University of Toronto, and I have another 2 terms starting in September. I said in my last post that I'd write again when I have something to say. It's not that my life's been boring for the last year, it's just been awesome in a more nerdy academic kind of way. Now that I'm in Japan and starting on my next adventure, here's hoping the excitement begins again.

Hey there! Glad to see you've arrived safely and found STARBUCKS!!!! That's pure Japanese for you! Looking forward to your logbook of adventures. Adrian is so glad you're in the city of Fast and Furious, Tokyo Drift. Enjoy Nippon, the Land of the Rising Sun & home of Yoko Ono (who?). Don't overdose on Sushi & saki (think that's how it's spelled).
