I get to go to Japan for a yearlong teaching program starting August.
I think this is the only place where I can say: I’m not terribly happy about my placement. It’s in a rural area with a population of >20,000 people. I don’t speak Japanese, and I’m socially awkward enough even with plenty of people around me.
I’m afraid of the isolation
I’m afraid that I won’t find inspiration
I’m afraid that life won’t get better just because I have an okay-paying job
I’m afraid that escapism is the root of my woes
I’m very deeply afraid.

Desert Graveyard of Ships
In the 1960’s, the Soviets diverted tributary rivers from the Aral Sea, causing it to recede by more than 50% and leaving Uzbekistan’s only port torn of Mo’ynoq a desert wasteland filled with boats not quick enough to escape the aftermath. But one’s man economic disaster is just another man’s photo op, as it were, as the area is now host to tourists who’ve come to see these lingering ghosts of commerce.

Glass Beach is a protected beach, but not for its natural beauty. Located just outside of Fort Bragg, California it became an illegal dumping ground for residents in the late nineteenth century who lacked any kind of refuse pickup. It wasn’t until 1967 that the illegal dump was finally closed by city leaders and the local water board. The beach was cleaned of large refuse, but small pieces of glass and plastic that had been worn down by the elements remain, giving the beach its name and its unusual beauty.
