Heh, it's just work...I travel for a living at the moment, but I'm starting a new position on 31 Oct. Less frequent travel, but I'll still be getting around, and actually for longer periods when I do go. As it stands now, I'm gone around 20-25 days every month, and it's pretty draining to do that much travelling alone. Sometimes we fly business class, sometimes we're backseating in cargo. Depends; either way, your body really feels it...exhaustion, but little exercise and a totally messed-up body clock. Pretty cool job, though, and it's really only this bad working from my office...elsewhere in the world, trips tend to be less extreme.

She's just another dumbstruck visitor...but I think, now that you mention it, that she helps the pic a little.

Got one last trip to Korea before I sign off from this position. I think someone in scheduling doesn't like me... (But I've planned a nice hike and possibly some riding with a fellow Monkey on this next trip!)

Very nice. Vacations where you get to see that type of stuff are always cool. :)

Hey, thanks again for putting me up. You slot-car racing freak...

Had a blast. Can't wait to get back your way again sometime. (what're your dates for returning to your homeland-the USA??)

Nice pics! I'd love to hit up Jordan and the surrounding area.

Haha, "Starbutts" That's a nasty neighborhood there, but great for entertainment value. I recognize most of your other Korean shots too...
Bring your cam next trip over, you can get some good shots off of Acha's hike-n-bike, as long as it's not too smoggy over the city. If you're still here for the Saturday, you can get some really cool shots at the old fortress we do weekend shuttles at.

If that means I'm a jingoist, I'll reiterate...misusers of ALL languages can and should be mocked mercilessly. Funny is funny in any language. I can't believe no one's skewered me for misspelling 'traveling' in the thread title yet...which isn't funny at all, alas.

Nice collection of pics from different ages and places!

Traveling through Babylon, Nineveh, Haditha or even Khorsabad used to be just as tourist-friendly and exquisitely beautiful as well in the late '70s.

Not at all. I'm much more acquainted with Jinglish (Japanese English) then I am with Engrish.

Way too many pre-release product manuals and such.

I can't help but get the feeling that English is quite limited and boring though, just from the translations. Japanese poetry must be beautiful.
