I just wrote this to Ryan in China:

I will begin my bicycling adventures soon. It's warming up in Japan. Very slowly, but warming. I recently got some maps and stuff for a great price from a bicycling guy who was getting rid of all his junk so he could leave the country.

I've got to do the same soon. I plan to quit my apartment after April (during April I'll only have a weekend job and do practice bicycle trips during the week); I sent a box to janette recently. My brother was at her house when she opened it, which was quite convenient because I had included some stuff for him.

I have a few contacts collected for places I can stay in various places. Awesome. I hope to balance (! time to relax in a safe place (@ overstaying my welcome (3 getting on with my trip ($ getting stuck in one area (% parenthesis (^ access to internet / electricity for journaling (& breaking free of digital chains)))))))

I am also not sure what's next for me. Though I imagine riding my bicycle around Japan counts as a cool project, it is temporary.
