Come over to the window, my little darling,
I'd like to try to read your palm.
I used to think I was some kind of Gypsy boy
before I let you take me home.
Now so long, Marianne, it's time that we began
to laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again.
Well you know that I love to live with you,
but you make me forget so very much.
I forget to pray for the angels
and then the angels forget to pray for us.
Now so long, Marianne, it's time that we began
to laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again.

Good morning, everyone! The sun has finally decided to grace Japan with its light and I'll be able to enjoy a nice ride in the mountains today. Warm too, so I'll be bringing out my summer riding jacket; mesh body but with full armor.
To make ready for it, a good breakfast beginning with East India Company's "Royal Breakfast Tea" and something new for me... vegetarian Tacos! Surprisingly good, and only 100 calories each.

Makes you wonder about that old expression, 'cheap as dirt,' doesn't it?

Come on over. They seem to be on every other block here. And at only double the prices I saw in the US! A glass of generic ice tea costs $4.50 USD.

And I'll bet it was the melon that got you, DB. In S.E. Asia, the street vendors often inject their melons with irrigation water to make them heavier. When sold by the kilo, a little extra water can add up quickly.
One more cup of Royal Breakfast tea and another tortilla, and I'm off to see the Wizard!
