Title: I'll be back soon

HI To curb my jet lag (because I have to work SOON), I decided to tell everyone more about my trip tonight

I must apologise for incorrect infomation on Washington and the ’tombs place’....I must have been day dreaming and the monotonous droning of the guide’s voice must have filtered merrily away too. Please forgive me.

I watched ColdPlay ’s concert a few days ago...while waiting for some friends, a black man came up to me:
’Tickets, you want tickets girl?’
’No, I’ve got it’
’You want? Oui?’ (Note, oui is yes in french)
’No, I’ve got tickets’
’How bout oui?’
’Huh?’
’You look like you’ll want...’
’What?’
’You don’t know what’s oui?’
’No.’
’Oui! Marijuana! You gotta take it man, you are going to the concert!’
’No thanks.’
’Geez, you don’t know what oui is...’ He then walked away, looking disgusted. HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW? Drugs is easily available here. I was told they sell it for about five dollars for a ball of grass in most parks, they sell e blatantly outside clubs too. For some reason I’m not interested in trying them. They sound silly and I’m on natural high, especially when on stage....so maybe it’s easier for me to say no.

Spring is here, you see budding trees, human and dogs are no longer in winter coats, no more ’smoke’ spewing from your mouth, al fresco dining and cherry blossoms, even in NY, merry pinks and fresh greens everywhere,it is a happy season.

Very soon, my ’happy’ season will too come to an end, but I’m actually looking forward to it. When I see street performers playing and singing for their dinner, I have this crazy impulse to sing too. I’m sure it’s not just for the money, they must love what they are doing. Appreciation my dear friends, like scarcity, are motivators to us all.

love
