		<description><![CDATA[Ever since moving to Asia on an impulse two and a half years ago, I’ve been donning and alternately shedding personal identities like a character out of a bad espionage thriller. Except that my character has been more Austin Powers than Ethan Hunt. There was the indefinitely jobless layabout expat tourist in Japan, followed by [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the strangest things about living as near to the equator as I do is that the length of the days never really changes. No matter whether it&#8217;s January, August, or December, the sun rises around 5:30am and sets around 6:30pm. Winter solstice, summer solstice, whatever, there&#8217;s no difference to speak of. That means [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been a while since I mentioned it, but I have another blog &#8211; a sister blog to Man and Ultraman called The Daily Edamame. I once described that blog as &#8220;the lima beans to Ultraman&#8217;s corn&#8221; in an effort to make a succotash metaphor about the two, forgetting that a) edamame is made from [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[China has not been at the top of my &#8220;Must Make Friends With&#8221; list since, well, ever. There&#8217;s something about ruthless authoritarian governments that treat people like mindless, sub-human pets that tends to get my goat. But even I have to admit that last night&#8217;s opening ceremony for the Olympics was pretty flippin&#8217; impressive. On [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When you step onto a Japanese train at rush hour, it&#8217;s strangely quiet. The car will be jammed to the windowsills with people, hip to hip on the seats and standing packed as terra cotta soldiers in a Chinese cave, but there&#8217;s hardly a sound. Only a murmered, indistinct conversation somewhere within the bright fluorescent [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The world we know is but a fraction of the world that exists. Virtually every speck of living matter on earth exists in a sliver of habitable space on the planet&#8217;s surface just a few thousand meters thick, an organic film as diaphanous as a soap bubble. This is true of human beings above all. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Nothing focuses the mind like the immediate threat of certain death &#8211; say, for instance, trudging across a snowy ridgeline a few feet wide and the length of three football fields between two 2,800-meter peaks in a howling wind, while swaddled in a mummification of unfamiliar cold weather gear and carrying 40-unwieldy extra pounds on [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Except for large-scale political protests, revolutionary uprisings, and the morning after Thanksgiving, there aren’t many times when the entire population of a city takes to the streets with a single purpose. Last Sunday, I witnessed another example up close: the annual rite of hanami, or cherry-blossom viewing. As I’ve mentioned before, the Japanese go apeshit [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the continuing spirit of appearing to be actively blogging while not actually writing anything, I’m posting another big batch of photos – this time from Osaka and a day trip last Sunday to Kyoto. To be fair, the cherry blossoms are going nuts right now, and the effect they have on people here is, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There’s nothing like moving house to make you realize how much of what you own is either broken, disfigured, useless, unidentifiable, or just a complete piece of crap. Likewise, moving from one temporary residence to another in a strange foreign country can cause you to reflect on how much you’re paying to keep all that [...]]]></description>
