On Unbelievability (yes, that’s now a word)

I still can’t believe I clicked the button, the portal into a completely foreign world just a mouse click away.  But I did it, I booked a trip back in February, and now I’m here.

For those of you who don’t know, I’m in Thailand, at the beginning of a seven week adventure in Asia. For the first two weeks, I’m traveling with a group called EF College Break Tours. So far, I prefer traveling on my own agenda—but we’ll get to that later. After Thailand, I’m going to South Korea to meet up with Glenn. We’ll be mostly in Seoul, but we’re going somewhere I can’t pronounce let alone spell. Then we fly together to China and Japan and come home July 4^th. Just like that.

With the internet, it’s been easy (a bit too easy perhaps) to look up everything there is to do in each place we’re going. I say too easy because that makes it not real to me. I thought it would be a lot harder to travel to the other side of the world. But it’s not hard. Not at all.
