Training

I’ve used “Morse CT” for android, great, free, must have app. This is how I started. But I couldn’t use that just yet to listen. I found a website http://lcwo.net/ that is just perfect(webapp). So far I am struggling to copy 5wpm. But I’m definitely getting there. Wonder where I will be in a few months.

Around the world in 5 years

Been to 11 countries now (Mexico, Germany, France, Luxemburg, 2x South Korea, Vietnam, Philippines, Hong Kong, Macau, China, Japan) i think I can say I’ve done this goal. Only Places left I would really like to see would be italy, Switzerland, and possibly Scotland. Since I plan on changing jobs in the next year, I may never get another chance to travel like this again. But I don’t regret it, I saw all I could when I had the chance.

If you get a chance to go, just go and do it!



Goto Japan
Land of the rising sun

Ive been to Asia 2 times before. So the whole “Japan is weird” never really came to mind. the difference from the rest of asia is its amazing how nice and sweet the people are and how much respect is shown. Ive traveled all over the world, never have I met nicer people. other differences would be amazing how clean everything is. yes the trains are all perfectly on time. I noticed presentation of goods being bought or sold is meticulously packaged in perfection. everything has to look and be cute.

Kyoto might be the most ‘magical’ city I got to see. The old houses and buildings and tons of couples and girls in groups wearing yukatas. The Gion area with Maiko and Geisha walking around. Gojo has a street with new houses and businesses that look just like they would 100-200 years ago and lit with paper lanterns.

I could go on and on, just ill just leave that snippet. Out of all the places I traveled on earth this had to be the most satisfying, not from what you see, but the people you interact with. Everywhere I went I felt welcomed to be there. If I needed help people were far more helpful than I would ever expect people to be where I come from. If your into not afraid to try new things and you want to travel put Japan on the short list of places to go, you wont regret it.
