time flies

graduate school is NOT a nice 'welcome back ' present. tonite i was perusing some old pictures, reminiscing over the beautiful Asian sights, and found a few moments that are worth posting twice; like......staying in a beach bungalow in koh samui, thailand
... climbing The Great Wall on Christmas Day
...living the simple life in a remote and gorgeous village
...hanging out with my students

(who proved to be excellent japanese teachers)

...fishing & boating - living on, in, and near water - just like Minnesota!

i have so many more pictures to post, but so little time.

i miss Asia. i miss Japan. but i miss Taneichi the most.
