Since you've been gone


"We shall not cease from our exploration
and at the end of all our exploring
will be to arrive where we started
and know the place for the first time"
-TS Eliot













Tokyo, Japan

16 hour layover at Haneda Airport. So naturally, I ripped coffee to stay awake and went exploring until I was dizzy.

All the rest of Bangkok

Old unposted from my phone: I finally made it to Bangkok to meet Professor Knutson, I went from Monument to Ekkami and then took a motorbike down a back alley for about 6km. If you could be living in an anime future city, Bangkok University feels like that reality. The main hall, shaped like some giant space ship. I wandered through campus noticing Thai co-eds happily chatting away, before asking for directions. Easily, they replied, pointing me to the tallest building on campus, #9, ninth floor. I asked the receptionist to see professor Knutson. After 4 months, a barrage of emails and the anticipation, it felt a little bit like the wizard of oz, the curtains were being revealed. A man sat inside diligently working away.
