Stranger in a Strange Land Newsletter:
Friday, January 23rd, 2004

Ladies and Gentlemen the Stranger in a Stranger Land Newsletter continues! After a significant pause the epic goes on in this first installment of 2004 C.E.!

This is Eli Gerzon with his travelling newsletter. I must say you would be amazed at how little news you have missed over the past months: I worked in gardens last summer, and this fall and winter I studied Japanese and English (the teaching of it that is).

That is all.

Ok, there was a little more: I learned the Hebrew alphabets (and some other crazy Jewish stuff I'm not gonna even get started on), hung with some cool friends, and gained and lost self-respect in different
areas of my life (write in for more details!). Yes, indeed it was a mixed-bag half year.

Alright, to the point: I will be in Japan in roughly 24 hours. That's my real excuse for writing. I wish I could just write this with nothing to write about but I'm sure some people are glad I cannot...

Osakas, Japan is where I'll be for three whole months. I will search out employment, knowledge, and a good time. (If I can only have one or two, that'll do.) But in the end I am scared poopless because I don't know what will happen. What if nobody likes me? What "if" indeed, Eli, "if" indeed...

NO! Then I see some lady following me... She assures me everything will be okay. And she reminds me of something really important: Don’t forget your passport on international travels! It's beautiful...

She walks with us.

Still, wish me luck. That reminds me: I LOVE to get any e-mails back from people from this newsletter, but I also don't mind at all if you would like to discontinue your "subscription," any time, no problem!

That is the story for now. I will keep you posted. All the best blessings to yall. Truly.

the Sagitarian Aquarian,
Eli

p.s. I do not do drugs.
