Tomorrow I leave japan with no immediate plans to return.
Logically this is good in so many ways. Yet still.... I don't wanna go to smelly old England. Especially now I've had two weeks of travelling to worthwhile parts of japan.

CB and I went to the Vero Beach Museum of Art today.  One of the pieces made me think of Barrister Boy:



The Trial by Tom Otterness.

The art shows the aspirations of the Floridian people to one day have a court system with that level of decorum and dignity.

There's one in New York City too.

I think the prosecutor has this case, since there's a dog, a rat and a bird on the jury and the defendant is a cat.

I think Floridians prefer a court system that gets them insta-acquitted for shooting unarmed negroes rather than a court system of decorum and dignity.

I was at a (very late) us Independence Day party yesterday. I won a name the states and presidents competition. Beating several natives. I am teh smart..... It have played too much Victoria. Also I are something called a sloppy joe. It was interesting.

Tomorrow I leave japan with no immediate plans to return.

But overall a useful and enjoyable experience?

The last 6 months?
CV wise yes. In actuality no.

Saw some crap advertised on BBC America today. The great Martian war. A fake documentary.

I hate this planet.

What's not to get?  It's like a TV show, but for blind people.

The artist might be trying to say something there.

Today I was twice press ganged into helping some  Chinese tourists translate broken English demands (ah china) into Japanese.
Which was bizzare.
Yes, logically Chinese people have little more reason to know Japanese than the people of any other country. But still..... Seems weird to have a white guy translating for Asians in an asian language.
