She’s back

Yup, arrived yesterday and almost immediately my phone rang. Talk about getting back into things quickly. It was whitmanschild asking if I was up for food as he was in town with a newbie JET. So we met up and went out for, guess what? Thai of course. 3 weeks just not enough. Plan to go shopping tomorrow and put my meagre Thai Cooking Class skills to the test! Just one day and am missing it all so much.
Am already trying to work out when I can get back there. Very tempted to get a flight home next March with a Bangkok stopover..hoping I can at any rate. The only bummer will be that it will be in high season so many more tourists and much higher prices. Still, I really want to go back to the beach and take my poi with me, oh and also hang out with some people I met in my last night in Bangkok. One has offered to help me get work if I want to go and live there. Very tempting. Still India first! Also want to get Thai style tattoo, so with that in mind, stopover probably best on way back – don’t really want to be bridesmaid with brand-new tat, specially as I’m thinking about getting it on my upper arm.
I’m hooked, I totally am. This year is so definately my last here in Japan – there’s just many other countries to explore and live in! So many other languages to learn. So many more people to meet and sights to be seen.
It has lain dormant for some time now, but in the last year my travel bug has well and truly awoken, stretched and is ready to play. So am I!

Ona practical note, there’s been too much stuff on lj for me to catch up with so feel free to e-mail me with any important stuff you think I should know *grin*
