the most spectacular display of stars that i have ever seen in this country... a night sky for once unhindered by any light of man...

and i have to witness such beauty accompanied by the horrific bark of rifles...

there are places where man's influence is subtle, insiduous... here, little sign of man's corrupting touch upon nature can be seen... save for the small coastal area that bridges the island with the mainland...
yet it is also here that man's indomitable spirit is manifest...
it is within these shores that i have come to witness the spirit of conquest... the pursuit of power...

and the lengths to which we as a race can go to achieve that...

You seem to be writing Poetry. There's a certain Rhythm and Rhyme to your words.

It's a pleasure to read proper English after two months of speaking and listening to horrible English. I myself have degraded into Singlish-Jap-Canto-Chi and all else I can mix in. My verbs and my nouns replace each other to the extent I don't even understand myself.

It's been a great pleasure to know that army doesn't degrade your competence in language unlike my stupid job. GRR!!!

I MISS MY SHU SHU!!
