Back And Soon To Be Posting
posted by Norm on March 3rd, 2004 • filed under GeneralI’ve been trying to type up a post for the last three days now, and I think this time I might finally get one off. Every other time I’ve either been distracted in the middle or run out of battery…or both. Not that it matters, really, because my ability to write about my experiences in China is non-existent. I mean, I could sit here and tell you about how it was awesome, and how I absolutely loved it and it was possibly the coolest trip I’ve taken in my short existence here on Earth, but I won’t because that doesn’t really tell you anything. The fact is that, currently, my command of the English language is insufficient to convey the how and why of my time in China, so I’m going to let it lie for a bit. You can rest assured that I’ll talk about it (probably at great length) in the near future, but I think I’ll stick to reporting Okinawa-related happenings for now.
Speaking of which, heading to Okinawa was as painless as traveling is capable of being. I have to give props to ANA (the airline I flew)…their automatic ticket check-in machines are an example every travel service should follow. It took me literally thirty seconds (with a little help from Haesung went I ran into kanji I didn’t know) to get my seat assignment and print it onto the boarding pass. A few hours of smooth, on-time flying and I arrived in Naha more or less intact (aside from being very, very tired). The weather is currently overcast and rainy, but even with that it’s still a lot warmer and more pleasant than Sendai. Hopefully the weather will improve soon and I’ll be able to make a post about how great the beaches are, mostly because a lot of you reading this can’t be at beaches just now and I feel like causing you pain.
