Memoirs of a White Chocolate Geisha: I Hate Delta
http://whitechocolategeisha.blogspot.com/2009/06/i-hate-delta.html
Wednesday, 17 June 2009. I spent 21 hours at Sea-Tac Airport before I gave up on Delta Airlines completely. I was still flying on Kevin’s buddy pass and was optimistic about hopping a flight back to Atlanta so I could fly business class back to sweet Tokyo and get home in time to teach two days of elementary school.

Memoirs of a White Chocolate Geisha: Penultimate
http://whitechocolategeisha.blogspot.com/2009/07/penultimate.html
Tuesday, 21 July 2009. These two weeks have been very busy and I've had to say goodbye to a lot of things that have been constants in my life for two years now. To name a few; schools, calligraphy, Ian and Kirby. I've visited both of my junior high schools and elementary schools and read speeches that skim the surface of how I feel, but in Japanese that I can manage (which matters to me! Afterward there was drinking and story-telling and we went home considerably early since it was an exhausting week.

Memoirs of a White Chocolate Geisha: There and Back Again
http://whitechocolategeisha.blogspot.com/2009/07/there-and-back-again.html
Friday, 31 July 2009. There and Back Again. Well, I'm home now! That is to say I'm back in Seattle, Washington - town of the needle that reaches SPACE and the 1962 transportation gift to mankind: the Monorail (you're welcome, world). I will no doubt face new adventures in this strange yet familiar land. such as unemployment, making friends, and reminding myself not. To bow to Asian people I see on the street. This will take time. I then sobbed, "DON'T FORGET ME INE " while driving away from Ine and its b...

http://whitechocolategeisha.blogspot.com/2009/06/rest-of-it-saturday-june-13-monday-june.html
Monday, 15 June 2009. The Rest of It (Saturday June 13-Monday June 15). I spent the weekend in Seattle after the funeral was over. It was nice spending more time with Megan and seeing Laura’s best friend Graham again. It was also really good to spend a lot of time with Zaydeh, who was taking this worse than anyone. Laura’s friend Graham. Also worth mentioning, his cat Leland is adorable. I spent an entire day with Megan. Around her neighbourhood in Queen Anne. I ate two slices of pizza (one slice too man...

Memoirs of a White Chocolate Geisha: April 2009
http://whitechocolategeisha.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 28 April 2009. Bali, day one. 3500 miles in 20 hours : Ine to Denpesar. I woke up at 7am (early, considering my flight wasn't until the early evening) and packed a few last minute items. Early morning logic had convinced me that I would need 15 pairs of underpants, 12 pairs of socks, and at least 7 outfits that I would find some sort of reason to wear. It's not every day you travel to the southern hemisphere, after all. You looked stressed," he complimented. Though I didn't feel stressed, I cert...

Memoirs of a White Chocolate Geisha: The Funeral
http://whitechocolategeisha.blogspot.com/2009/06/funeral.html
Friday, 12 June 2009. Dressed in black, we met Zaydeh for breakfast at the hotel. Zaydeh smiled at seeing us in such unusual garb and commented, “Who decided on this colour anyway? 8221; He had a point. I was one of very few people at the actual funeral who were all in black. Sitting between my sister and my eleven-year-old cousin, Mo, I felt ridiculous. “I can’t believe I’m at my grandmother’s funeral. I’ve never been to a funeral and now I’m at her’s!

Memoirs of a White Chocolate Geisha: Farewell, Bike!
http://whitechocolategeisha.blogspot.com/2009/07/farewell-bike.html
Monday, 6 July 2009. I sold my bike! The Yasaka JET, Megan. Leigh's successor) offered to pay me for my lovely, Dr. Pepper can-coloured bicycle! So, she drove the long road up to Ine and I introduce her to her new fly ride. After re-homing a few rogue spiders, we pushed the bike over to her kei-car SUV and tried to put it inside, failing spectacularly! We would need a wrench to take the front tire off the bike. but where could we find one? How would I get back home? You were one of the great ones. Memoir...

Memoirs of a White Chocolate Geisha: June 2009
http://whitechocolategeisha.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Thursday, 18 June 2009. Going Back (Thursday, June 18). I flew from Seattle to Vancouver to Tokyo to Osaka that day, but it didn’t feel as long as it was. I watched movies, ate more pizza, and enjoyed the last bits of circulated air conditioning before going back to Japan. Unfortunately I had missed my two days of elementary schooled, leaving me with a lot of guilt and a completely screwed up school schedule. It would have to wait. Wednesday, 17 June 2009. I spent that night on a bench, freezing and sobb...
