As I've alluded to in a previous post, I visited several Japanese cities (Nara, Kyoto, Kobe, Hiroshima and Tokyo) recently. Subsequent write-ups on the trip will be featured on another blog and I'll post short entries here to announce any updates over there. In recent weeks, more than a few friends have been asking for a mini-presentation on my trip. For those whom I meet fairly regularly, I'm doing up a simple slide show with verbal commentary from yours truly. For those that I don't, and anyone else who may be interested, well, this is for you. Although the travel-blog will go light on photographs, it should hopefully make up in the form of written content (which can easily mean lots of dry prose, angst, ruminations and such... hah), and any grounds that I would not cover in a verbal presentation in the interest of brevity.
I'm still sore from the minor incident at the local airport security the day I left home. It was no big deal, seriously, even if I thought the actions of the ground staff was rather arbitrary and mis-informed. Details another day, perhaps. So much for a purported highly-ranked transportation hub.
To start off on a less gloomy note, here are two photographs taken from the plane before it landed in Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi Airport in transit on 23rd May.
That was the first rainbow I saw from a plane. From the vantage point of an aircraft a few hundred meters above ground, it becomes possible to see the full circle of a rainbow. Not for this, but it looks pretty anyways. I flew out of Bangkok for Kansai International Airport in Osaka later that evening.
It's somewhat disheartening that our interaction is limited in scope, this due to no fault of ours. I'm there for a purpose you'd rather not remind yourself of. Maybe I'm not doing enough on the side of initiatives to evolve our relationship into a new realm. Can you cheer up? It's extremely telling when you're so downcast.
