Dreaming of exotic and far away places

I just finished reading the longest email in the history of emails. my friend marc has been travelling in asia, and he wrote a huge group email to fill everyone in on the trip. after reading about all his adventure, i find it hard to summon any memories of my own to write about.

Asia sounds like another world. cambodia and laios, thailand, korea and now hes on to china. why arent i travelling?
I find myself a little afraid. I hate to be the kind of travellor who sticks to the well groomed path, but i think im afraid of hitting the road alone in areas so different. so...for lack of a better word...foreign. Yet, i long for that adventure. i want to go somewhere where i couldnt even hope to find a mcdonalds. im too easily intimidated by the unknown and i long to change that. I will change that, in fact.

In other news my crazy work week is over. the dinner for the governor general went exceptionally well. and the begining part of that week, though hell...is now over. I had one day off after the gov. gen. thing and i took myself out for a fancy meal complete with cocktails. then i worked the last 4 days. now i have a full two days to recover, because next weekend i have a wedding.

much love to you all.
