There and Back Again...

Remember my 'halfway there' post from Zurich Airport? Well this is my 'halfway back' post from Kuala Lumpa. The flight was extremely turbulant and I must confess to almost shitting myself a couple of times. But the view from the window was awesome, especially when we flew past a storm-cloud... not through it, but past it. It was awesome. Two towers of black cloud flashing and sparkling with evil intent like something out of some horror fantasy.

So anyway, I'm not in Japan anymore... bit sad, but ultimately looking forward to going home and seeing my peeps. What did I do in my last few days?... Well, some frantic souvenir shopping which was more difficult than it should've been. And a Polysics gig. A free gig, because I won the ticket on MySpace. To enter, I had to write an application with an explanation as to why I should be one of the lucky 200 winners... I can't say my explanation was at all interesting, but they chose me anyway.

All that was asked of the winners was that they wear blue to the gig (MySpace colours). As I didnt have anything blue enough I went out an bought a blue T-shirt... only to discover when I got to the gig that they were selling special MySpace/Polysics Tshirts.. So I bought one of those aswell.

I was a tad late but got there just in time to see the support act 'Ogre You Asshole'... They were brilliant. The guys voice was amazimg and the music thumped so hard my neck hurt after two songs. But then Polysics came on. And owned the night. Even they were wearing MySpace blue, which is something special because they're well-known for wearing Orange jump-suits, so to have been present at one of the few gigs wear they wore a different colour is a pretty cool claim.

I'm gonna have to start thinking about finding my gate in a minute. I'll do one last post, a summary of sorts, in afew days time. And then that will be the end of this blog. Boohoo!

Bye for now.
