Ironto

I met my new, temporary flatmate today. He seems like an upstanding gentleman. He has the new Gang Gang Dance album on his hard drive.

Josh and I leave for Lithuania on Wednesday. With the exception of two hostel bookings that we made in Tallinn and Kärdla, we'll be staying the entire trip with Esperantists (thanks to Passporty Service). One of them runs an acupuncture business in Vilnius; another wears a gnome cap. I have always wanted to live a novel and it seems like I'll have a pretty good shot at it on this trip.

I will make every attempt to send dispatches, as time and access to the Internet permit. (Apparently you can't spit without hitting an Internet café in this part of the world, though, so access shouldn't be a problem.) I'm also bringing my minidisc recorder, so hopefully when I return I will have many recordings of Baltic insects and belfries for you, along with recordings of a number of friendly Esperantists singing the stirring anthem of Esperanto.
Our diligent set of colleagues
in peaceful labor will never tire,
until the beautiful dream of the humanity
for eternal blessing is realized.

Heh! Cool dude, have fun. That is rad.
The weird thing is that I have two lj-friends that passed through Lithuania on their way to Finland... like... a couple of days ago.
Yeah, apparently the Baltics are like 100% conventional now. If I'd known this, I guess I would have tried to go to ... like, uh, Uzbekistan or something. Of course, as soon as I'd book tickets, I'd found out that Tashkent is the new Prague.
Congratulations on novel living; it provides inspiration to me (to somehow attempt to do the same). When did you learn Esperanto?
I started to learn Esperanto about a month ago. My friend Josh is practically fluent, though (he taught the Esperanto course at Berkeley for several semesters) - so wherever my incipient skills fail, his will surely suffice.

I have to give a lot of credit to Zamenhof, though - Esperanto is actually pretty easy to learn, at least for pathetic linguaphiles like myself.
