so im packing my bags, gonna be gone for at least the next 5 and a half weeks. visiting india, then japan. i am trying to think of all the last minute shit i needed to do before i climb aboard the plane. saying bye to some friends was one. so yea, peace. im not gonna be gone long...(unless i end up staying, which i've done before on other trips. ) and i will be back for party season. :) i miss dancing. and bass. and you lovely danceholes.

so just discovered www.couchsurfing.com which is rad. its like...myspace for people who like to travel. you basically have a profile, can leave comments, have pictures, etc, and it is used for exactly what you think. you can search for people who have couches available anywhere in the world, and voila! no hotel costs, built in person to hang out with and maybe be your tour guide..fantastic, innit? they have built in safety measures, like member verification, and they record all messages. and plus you can see if people have hosted before or not based on thier comments. the whole idea is exciting to say the least...it opens up the world for anyone who wants to travel, who dont like the impersonal feel and fees of hotel or hostel stays...

if you are so inclined, add me! my username is Bertzerk.

SOOOO...when i get back..i am probably gonna be looking for a new place to live. (or find a roommate, as my roomies are moving out, plus ive been in this apt for over 4 years now.) wanna live with cool artsy fartsy types..ive always lived with close friends or family, but now i want to venture out into something different. i want to be surrounded by creative folk, so i can be inspired and stuff. somewhere i can haz studio space for art and music and make some noise every once in a while.....so if anyone here wanting the same (or is already in that situation) and is looking to move in 2 or 3 months lemme know...kthanks.

anyway. hope every one has a good one today!

and If you know some cool spots to hit up in these places, lemme know!!
