- Flying to [[Hong Kong]] and then [[Tokyo]] today.
- [[trip to x]]!
- Flying to [[Hong Kong]] and then [[Tokyo]] today.
- With [[AG]] :)
- Very happy about these holidays! They've been planned for long, and as work got tough in the last few months I relied on "seeing them coming" quite a bit.
- I'll be very jet lagged but also likely happy in Shinjuku for the first few days.
- [[trip to x]].
As I write this, I'm roughly above [[Baku]] about to cross the [[Caspian Sea]]. I don't have an internet connection so I'm jotting down these local notes which will be synced to the Agora later.
I guess much has already been said about the relatively rareness of being offline nowadays; I am old enough to remember a time before being online at all was possible; then a time in which being online was rare; then the transition to always-on home internet and then mobile internet. I welcomed each increment of extra connectivity, and I still love how far we've gotten in this respect; but I can also appreciate the focus that being fully offline for a bit can bring. If nothing else it throws into contrast the fact that the same focus should always available -- behind the impulse to catch up with messages, or check feeds, or read about Baku and the Caspian Sea on Wikipedia (which is surely what I would be doing right now instead of writing these words were I not truly offline.)
