uncommon things in the last 12 hours

- a cab driver listening to a grade schooler’s tape on how to speak English.

- a headless animal carcass being roasted on a spit. pandan leaves stuffed up its ass. couldn’t say if it were a dog (hope not) or a small calf.

- not hungry! i think i’m back to my small portions mode. hooray!

- thinking about real estate… and other things on my want list.

- japan on my mind. and hk and singapore and siem reap and india and kl. some domestic destinations too.
