Mission Statement

Travel Mission Statement: To achieve clarity of purpose and refinement of my worldview, I will challenge myself in lands unknown to befriend people I would never have met, lay my eyes upon sights I would never have seen, and gain experiences I would never have known.

It's Not "Goodbye" America, It's "See You Later"

Well, I am glad I got culture shock out of the way with my first stop in LA. Phew, what a relief! Such a drastically different world from home. From the warm weather in January, to the crazy California drivers, to the interesting cast of characters roaming the streets of Hollywood, if I can handle that place, I think I can handle anything...

But on a serious note, at the time of writing (I've always wanted to write that!), I am somewhere over the Pacific Ocean waiting to be greeted by a real culture shock in Tokyo. I get culture shock watching movies that take place in that city, so I cannot begin to imagine what it will be like. With no preparation, it should be an interesting ride.

More to follow...
