![]() July 13, 2004WanderlustI've been thinking about travel recently. Ed's been asking me if I want to go to Asia with him for three weeks in August. He's thinking of Indonesia. Originally, we thought of going to Tibet by way of western China, but he has only three weeks. Three weeks is not enough time to do the trip properly, especially if we were to return overland through Sichuan. To begin with, I would want to take the train across the country as well, from Shanghai to Chengdu, where we would pick up the overland trail to Lhasa. It would take at least a month and a half.Lin emailed us from Peru. She's on her honeymoon. She had decided in the end to follow the Inca trail to Macchu Picchu. Originally she had decided on a different trek but changed her mind at the last minute. She wrote that she realized she couldn't go to Peru and not visit Macchu Picchu. She's glad she did, and recommended that as a short trip destination. The weather might not be condusive to the four day hike, however. Ed and I also talked about driving from San Francisco to Seattle. I've never been to Seattle, and we're planning on being in the Bay area for Lin's west coast wedding reception. After the recent flurry of emails, there are a number of people I now want to visit and meet there, and it looks like the trip will become a working vacation if it materializes. I had ice cream and snacks with Yukwah last Thursday. She tells me she's thinking of going to Morocco and also to Vietnam. The latter trip she hopes to combine with cooking classes. As I told her about my wanderlust, she said that travelling is a privledge and not a right. I told her that once I start taking tango classes, I'll have to make a pilgrimmage to Argentina. To visit the cafe where Wong Kar-Wai shot Happy Together. Posted by eku at July 13, 2004 2:17 AM | ![]() |
