I just called Seoul and found out that my mom had left and gone back home (Beijing) to see how things were holding up... Hmmm... I thougt I had told her to stay healthy... So thinking she would probably be home with her mask on I decided to give her a ring in Beijing... Guess what... She's out playing golf... Dang, that woman is a warrior... She probably thinks she's got the genes of Xena the warrior princess... Mad props, mom... Well I guess I'll talk to her tomorrow, but I'm currently in the process of trying to decide where to take my ass for 10 days of chillaxing... As of now Beijing is still not entirely out of the picture.. Northwest tells me I can change my travel plans up to 2 times without any penalty (how nice of them) so long as my new travel is completed by the 15th of December. My other option would be to change the itenirary to travel to some other place... If the fare is less than what I had paid for my round trip to China, I'll be getting the difference as a non-refundable travel voucher (which kinda sux, but I suppose I could use it next year)... Now, I really don't like the winter weather in Beijing, so I'm thinking of just changing the destination if I decide not to go to Beijing... As of now, Japan looks very tempting... I think the last time I was there George Harrison and Eric Clapton were on tour together. Well, I have a few friends there and my parens know someone there as well... It could be crate digging heaven for me, not to mention the fact that I can bring back some Initial D mangas... Hmmm... Lemme think for a bit..
