As I count down to my last 9-5 shift as a cog in the corporate machine on April 30, 2007, I am left to recount my top ten memories of the last eleven years of serfdom. In reverse order:
10. Playing the popular after-dinner game "what's your psychosis" with colleagues in Penang, Malaysia
9. Riding a camel, smoking a hookah, and belly dancing in Dubai
8. Playing "who looks the gayest" with a group of straight colleagues at Telephone Bar in Patpong, Bangkok
7. Enjoying fresh hot chocolate and churros while traipsing over cobblestones in Coyoacan, Mexico City
6. Being able to compartmentalize my past and create new relationships with my former homes of Seoul and Tokyo
5. Watching Bruce Rogers nearly wet himself in Vancouver as John Lowe told the "peanut" story for the 38th time
4. Shaking a string of bones as a member of an impromptu ensemble of percussionists at a house party in an hacienda in Manila
3. Attending a ritualistic candomblé macumba in Sao Paulo, Brazil
2. Belting out 80s British invasion hits in a karaoke box in London
1. Showing colleagues and friends from around the world pictures of my soon-to-be son at a TESOL conference
What do the next eleven years have to offer? We'll just have to see...
