Okay, so I’ve still got a little Japanophile left in me. But for good reason!
Going on that Japan trip was possibly the most crazy-awesome experience of my life, so I just can’t help but gush when other people mention it. I sometimes feel like I’m acting like a real braggart, but I can’t help it! And I tell you, if you get more than one person who went on that trip in a room, then that conversation won’t stop for hours.
I guess it’s just being in another country that just opens your eyes so much. And it’s pretty rare to get an opportunity like that, so there’s that. I dunno, what do you think? And have any of you not been able to shut up about your foreign visits?

Taught in Russia many years ago and I still tell stories about my experiences. Of course there is also Spanish Sierra, what used to be Yugoslavia . . . and now, I ramble on and on.
That fourth panel is killing me. That expression should be your twitter avatar.

Don’t ever ask me about Lacoste.
Scratch that, I still have your souvenir to give you. XD
Brett I always knew that you were secretly a muppet.
LOL… I was telling Gretchen about you’re telling me about your trip. We laughed at all the crap I would be bringing back versus what I might actually learn. Aisling informed me that I couldn’t travel abroad unless I brought her… unless it was to Australia, she is terrified of the swarms of killer jellyfish… way to go Animal Planet.
