This
year has been and continues to be the strangest of my life. Everything changed.
I’m having to relearn how to do things I normally know how to do. Like driving
for instance. Imagine moving from a country where you had the most minimum, the
barest and not to mention the shadiest of laws to one where laws pretty much
dictate every move you make. Thank you Sting.
U-Turns,
for example, a very handy driving maneuver, especially when lost or you know,
just change your mind and decide to head in the opposite direction, it happens
you know, because people change their minds all the time... are against the
law. IN ANY SCENARIO. There will never be a time or place in this country when
making a U-Turn is acceptable.

| My mind just... |
I.
Can’t.
It
makes me think, no matter where you go, no matter how far, no matter how much
time you spend sitting in economy where your butt has fallen asleep more times
than you, there is and always will be some crazy.
Oh
yeah. Crazy’s everywhere.
Because
U-Turns are super useful. Oh shit I forgot my important papers, hang on I gotta
make a... U-Turn! Oh wait a minute, I’m headed in the wrong direction, I need
to make a... U-Turn! Oh look! I’m hungry and there’s Japadog! Let’s make a...
U-Turn! Super useful!

But
some things are just not meant to be. Everyone, let’s all join hands. Bow our
heads as we bid goodbye, say our farewells and auf wiedersehens to our fallen companion
in this road we call life. Gone too soon. May our paths meet again and promptly
do a 180. You will be missed. Especially when we miss our turn. Or when we try
to avoid traffic just beyond the intersection.
So I
find myself here in this strange place, filled with all manner of strange beasts
and an over abundance of ridiculously healthy food, learning the honest and awful
truth that, well, there’s no turning back now.
aiyaaaaaa. :(
