Short vacation
 

Hi all,

After two and a half month in Tokyo, with its 33 million citizen, I
definitely need a holiday. The work load has been off the chart, so
there is more than one reason to take it easy for some days. Those of
you that have visited me in the far north of Sweden will understand why
Tokyo is a bit too much for me. I had planned on seing riverman, Myron
Buck, in Hongkong, but at this stage there is NOTHING that can persuade
me to go to another huge city. So, I started to look for options, and
you know what, with Japan as a starting point I suddenly have all kinds
of places that I can go to without having to travel all that far. Now
then, since I plan on going to New Zeeland at the end of my project I
figured I would try Hawaii for five days. Only thing is that I don't
know to where on Hawaii I should go and what to do when I get there.
With only five days to spare I thought to ask you all if you have any
ideas? Another option was to go to Guam and do some sea fishing, but I
figured that I hardly will be able to go to Hawaii again so I might as
well try that.

If you feel like it, visit http://www.imsoc.se/angler/ for info on fly
fishing in northern Sweden, Lapland.

Supposedly you can fish for rainbow trout in the mountains of Kauai.

Indisputable. As a matter of fact, one can fish for rainbows anywhere. Of
course, one's enthusiasm and expectations may be (and should be) tempered by
the fact that the likelihood of catching them is much greater in some places
than in others.

then too, there are various logistical, legal, economic and other
considerations.

Well, Bummer. FWIW, Roger, the part of HK island were I am is not at
all a big city...in fact, its not even a small town like Umea. From my
house, I cannot see a single other house except for one a few miles
away on a hilltop. Down the road a piece is Stanley, with outdoor pubs
and good people-watching, and a bit further down the road is a nice
lazy beach and some rocks to surfcast from.

HK city is across the island, interesting enough to visit for folks new
to the region, but a lot more confined than Tokyo. There is,
suprisingly, almost no 'urban sprawl' on the island,; once you turn the
corner from the city, you are deep in mountainous countryside, with
hikes, lakes and beaches.

Now you tell me ;-(

Yeah, rub it in. And here I was thinking that you suffered the same
crap that I am suffering ;-)

Well, there's always next time.

Hawaii is certainly different than Tokyo. There are more things stolen
on the typical beach there in an hour than in a month in Japan. g

Implying what exactly? If you don't have anything of value to add to the
conversation, what's the point in participating?

Hm......

Was I implying?

Well, maybe so.

O.k. then, let's be explicit.

Anytime you feel the urge to say something you should first ask yourself
whether you actually have something to say.......or you just like the sound
of your gums and lips flapping. If the latter......well the, let 'er rip.
If the former, then the next best step is to determine just what it is you
want to say.......and then say that. Or, to put it in simpler terms, if you
don't have anything of value to add to the conversation, what's the point of
participating?

point in participating?

Ah, grasshopper, anticipation is the halfway point on the road to learning.

Wolfgang
well, o.k., it's not........but a line like that has just GOT to wow 'em at
the old frat house, ainna? :)

p.s. it probably comes as no surprise to most that whenever someone says
something that one could construe as sexual, you immediately start to flash
on what my hands might be touching. sometimes, i sit here with no pants on.
sometimes........well, you can just imagine! :)

Try. It's pretty ****ing funny, if grotesque.

Can't say I blame you. But this little recurring fantasy of Stevie's is
harmless enough. In fact, it may even be beneficial. After all, I'm no
teenage girl......or boy.
