Update

A lot of you are probably wondering what the heck is going on. Why am I flying? Why reverse culture shock? Why not too many posts?

Well, I was in the US for a week, for two job interviews. And now, 4 days after getting back to Japan, I'm going to Hawaii for a conference. And luckily for me, I'm through with most of my professional obligations on the first day! I get to relax and learn about Hawaii (not to mention blind people on the beach with my fluorescent white skin) for the next week.

Hopefully there will be internet access.

..oh, man, that's sad. Am I that addicted to email?

Oh, oh yeah, I know: I mean, because I'm sure to get sunburn, so I need some way to kill my time indoors. (Conference?) I mean, in between enriching my brain with scientific talks. (Oh, ok)

Oooh Hawaii! I have never been. I am so jealous. More snow is coming our way here in Chicago so doubley jealous. Which island are you going to?

Have fun!

Here's a tip: If you find a Tiki idol washed up on the Hawaiian shores, DO NOT pick it up and tie it around your neck. No good will come of it. You'll find yourself nearly obliterated in that surf contest you're about to enter, and then later a tarantula will crawl up your chest while you're sleeping to nibble your nose. Trust me. I’ve seen it on TV.

On the plus side, you may find yourself being serenaded by Don Ho.

Have a good time!
