Taking the red-eye to Toronto tonight. Departure in t-minus two hours and I’ll be leaving home for the airport soon (it is a short train ride away). I have not had a good sleep in the last one and a half weeks and later on, will be arriving in the East 3:30am Pacific time. It will be a whirlwind trip home and to St. Catharines for the Image and Imagery Conference. It hasn’t really sunk in yet that I’m headed there - though the last three days at work, I have been telling people about my plans. It’s nice. It’s just about go time and I’m thinking and am frightened about having a coughing fit on the plane. Still haven’t yet fully recovered from illness from two weeks ago. Oi. But on the plus side, I selected my seat when I got home from work earlier - aisle!

At the Snake Temple
Legend has it that a monk gave shelter to snakes from the jungle, who ended up never leaving the temple. They’re poisonous, but are apparently paralyzed by the constant incense burning; “holy and harmless,” people call them. The snakes can be found coiled around tree branches around the temple, but in the back are two gigantic snakes kept in a glass box. Tourists are invited to get their picture taken with one around their neck for 30RM… I wouldn’t have dared, though I did poke the large python.
