vesak day. otherwise yet another sleep all day day. went to swim and i swear there was a million and two people at the pool today. its absoulutely disgusting. i vehemently maintain i need my own pool. i think i am swimming faster now but its impossible to tell when i keep having to break my momentum to avoid kicking the other million and one bodies. i want to go shopping but shopping is expensive. it takes the kick out of shopping when you have to careful not to overspend. cannot wait to get to japan.
