• Time is Running Out!

  Sad times are ahead! This Monday, we lost Ben, our 7 foot French brother, to an early exit from Japan. It was sad seeing him leave and reminded us of the times ahead, when we all too will say our goodbyes. This Thursday marked the 1 month countdown to the 15th of July, when the first batch, including Kellie, Matt and myself, well fly off into the sunset (or sunrise, depending which way we’re goin!) By a weird, bitter-sweet twist of fate Matt and I have ended up on the same connecting flight to Tokyo! That’s gonna be a pretty emotional plane ride!!! Sarv and Matt have both blogged recently about the total suckiness of leaving, but as Sarv says, we’ve become like family here! We all look forward to seeing our friends and family back home but we’re trying to focus on the here and now! Hopefully, we’ll always be family, despite our being all over the planet, but we’ll never be able to share this experience again so we’re gonna “savour every moment of it!” (Name that song! Again.)
  On another sucky note, our plans to climb Mt. Fuji have gone down the shitter as the school believe we are all gonna die in the attempt and thus want no part of it. Meaning no school bus, meaning the trip would cost, like, 20,000 yen and we’d have to follow a tour, which starts half-way up the mountain! That blows big-time… we don’t wanna be climbin’ half of Fuji! As a result, Matt, Sarv n I have decided to ditch that plan and make the first act of our first reunion a climb of the WHOLE Mt. Fuji! Its cool to have that, cos it makes the reunion thing that bit more of a reality! And no-doubt Cass’ll be pleased!!!
  On a positive note (woah!) I’m updating on my shiny new i-Book, which FINALLY arrived this past weekend! Being technology-retarded, its gonna take some practice and extensive help from lap-top-savvy friends, but its ’bout time I got into this whole computer crap! And its gonna be a mobile, multi-purpose way to stay in touch with friends all over the world! Which makes it pretty essential now. On another topic, about which I’ll say nothing more for now… Matt, Danielle…. Thanks!!!
  Peace, peeps! Bye Ben! Goodluck and all the best!
