35

[Friday 2nd of April 2010]

Thirty-five, that's more or less how old I am today. It's really true, you arrive at certain points in life turn back and think "how the hell did I turn thirty-five I didn't even realize it!". So true.

Anyways that's it, another birthday away from home (but where is home really?), devoted to work, but in a way it's a good thing that it's the very last on this never-ending trip around Asia. I am tired as a mule that drag a cart for 3 weeks in a row, today I will drink some of these Japanese inventions, the "power drink", a sort of extra powerful redbull but with many more things inside, that should grant me a safe heaven of strength at least until noon...

I am quite indecisive regarding the presents, people have been asking me but I really cannot think of anything that I'd REALLY like to have. There are a lot of "I'd like to have" items, but nothing that strikes my fantasy in a special way, we'll see...

As to the rest I'll try to make some changes in life, they are badly needed.

Ok then, happy birthday to me! This is the fourth birthday that I have spent in Tokyo, though I lived here only one year, they should give me honorary citizenship!

For he's a jolly good fellow, for he's a jolly good fellow.
For he's a jolly good fellow...
which nobody can deny.

Happy Birthday Lox!!!

Grazie ragazzi! :D (so we have three posts in three different languages)...

Oh by the way Sheri, I really shouldn't ask, but what is a "pipe"? :D

Ask Chiara... (she speaks French, right?)

Sheri: Will most certainly do, as she doesn't want to teach me French swearwords and I always have to turn to you for more info! :D

Χρόνια Πολλά, Λοξ!! Ελπίζω να πέρασες πολύ όμορφα... Να τα εκατοστήσεις! That makes four languages :-)

Thanks Bryan! Now I need to understand the last word (Ekatistiesis) because babelfish doesn't seem to know what it means! :P

Να τα εκατοστήσεις = May you live to be a hundred (traditional Greek wish... literally = may you hundred them) :-)

Bryan: Ahhhhh , in Pizzaland we have the same way of wishing someone an happy birthday, something along the lines of "cento di questi giorni" (one hundred of these days)...
