413 days

That's how long I've been here. Been through the good, the bad, and the ugly of living a foreign country. It's been fun, enjoyable, and educating experience. And I'm not talking about the stuff they teach us in campus

But, like all good things, it must come to an end at one point. Within the next four days, I'll be on a plane back home. Even though I'm looking forward going back, I can't say that I won't missed anything here. Places and friends, moments and memories. One year can do that to a person. But as the old saying goes, there's no place like home.

Anyway, that's a wrap folks!

G'night.

So long Chris, thanks for the memories..

Superman's Song - Crash Test Dummies

Tarzan wasn't a ladies' man
He'd just come along and scoop 'em up under his arm
Like that, quick as a cat in the jungle
But Clark Kent, now there was a real gent
He would not be caught sittin' around in no
Junglescape, dumb as an ape doing nothing

Superman never made any money
For saving the world from Solomon Grundy
And sometimes I despair the world will never see
Another man like him

Hey Bob, Supe had a straight job
Even though he could have smashed through any bank
In the United States, he had the strength, but he would now
Folks said his family were all dead
Their planet crumbled but Superman, he forced himself
To carry on, forget Krypton, and keep going

Superman never made any money
For saving the world from Solomon Grundy
And sometimes I despair the world will never see
Another man like him

Tarzan was king of the jungle and Lord over all the apes
But he could hardly string together four words: "I Tarzan, You Jane."

Sometimes when Supe was stopping crimes
I'll bet that he was tempted to just quit and turn his back
On man, join Tarzan in the forest
But he stayed in the city, and kept on changing clothes
In dirty old phonebooths till his work was through
And nothing to do but go on home

Superman never made any money
For saving the world from Solomon Grundy
And sometimes I despair the world will never see
Another man like him
(2x)
