Sticking Out in Asia 2009

Because I can, I'm going to go check out Asia again.  I'm hoping to be confused with an NBA player just once.  I'd settle for shouts of "Balla balla" as I walk down the road.  Here's to hoping. 

My itinerary roughly.

5/28-6/3 Tokyo

6/3 Kiso Valley

6/4-6/8 Kyoto

6/8 Nara 

6/9 Osaka->Manila

6/9-6/15 Philippines 

6/15/6/17 Singapore

6/17-6/23 Thailand beaches

6/23-6/25 Bangkok

6/25 Bangkok to Columbus Ohio.  Yes, Colombus Ohio.
