i could go work in thailand

or istanbul

or cambodia

or peru

or switzerland for a while

today's pick is cuzco, peru. yesterday's was thailand, and the day before that, cambodia. there are still a couple of months before i have to grow up and make a decision. the first ticket i buy will be a round trip to somewhere, leaving this june and returning in mid-december. and then i'll leave again in january. maybe for a year. i don't know yet. i could go to veitnam or laos or prague or india or korea or china or bulgaria or anywhere. wherever i don't go this time i can go later.

rinse and repeat until exhaustion. i will go to nepal, though not to work. i will go back to switzerland.

i explained to space suit that i feel like i'm killing time this year. "you're not killing time," she said, "this is where you stockpile. like a squirrel with nuts in the winter."
