Oh, definitely going to China in the Fall (or Winter if I hit Europe first). The only question is where. The city has a lot of temptation for me, but I would like, someday, to be able to see the Chinese countryside.

You lived in Tokyo? I had no idea! What work did you do? Do you speak Japanese? (I'd like to go to Japan someday, but I think China needs to come first.)

My Japanese was bad at best and now its all but non-existent.

Yeah, I taught English at Nova, the McD's of conversation schools.

But I got to spend a year in a very different place and really learn what I love about my home.

And I wrote. I wrote like a mofo. I decided that I would send out a written piece about my journey every week. So my trip had a kind of purpose and when it was all done, I had 52 stories, all lined up. That was really the best part, that discipline.

Sounds great. I wrote a lot in China, too, but nowhere near that level of discipline. I'm impressed.
