fresh n juicy chunks of oyster :: RTW travel blog

I would like to apologise for not posting for so long and neglecting this
blog but unfortunately there has been almost absolutely nothing
rivetingly interesting to write about.
And yes, I know that hasn't stopped me before and in fact I have tended
to write nothing about nothing a lot of the time anyway. But right now I'm taking
a break.
I am in Berkeley visiting friends to be precise. And it's strange because
Berkeley is pretty much where I started this whole trip-thing a long time
ago and it still looks the same. In the Bay Area life seems simpler and
still the sun shines every day in a cloudless sky. Graffiti on public
transport calls for 'destruction of car culture', crazy burnt-out hippies
lounge on street corners and everything feels kinda woolly-soft and
non-threatening.
Which is good because I now finally have all the energy I need
to make it to Japan -- ok, so it's not like I'm swimming but it's all in
the mind! Any time now -- I'm bracing myself for Sushi breakfast, lunch and dinner every day; paradise beckons.
