The last time I received a phone call about an impromptu trip planned to Asia was in 2007. My friend Bill called and said (more or less) ‘let’s go to Japan’. At the time I had no particular plans or ambitions to go, but I liked the idea and the adventure. We had done a bit of travelling together as a part of the debate team in high school, but nothing international. To make matters worse (or possibly better in a hilarious sort of way) neither of us spoke a bit of Japanese. Luckily, for some of the trip we had Bill’s friend as a translator.
I received a similar query in 2009 via instant message. This time, he would be in Singapore for a while during March and then heading home to start a new job. Spring break overlap – Yes, Flights from London – Yes, Enough money – ehhh Yeah. Okay then, why not?
Singapore – March 2010, the plans are on the books.

I know what your true motive is… more stamps in the passport
Where is Billy’s “home” and what job is he starting?
