Trips I'd Like to Take

I have three big trips in mind:

1. I'd like to go back to Australia. Of all the places I've been, I think it's the most beautiful.
2. I'm really interested in visiting Turkey. Specifically the parts that were Phrygia. I'd like to see Catal Hayuk (futabachan tells me that they're building a tourist information centre there but, hey, I'd be interested in seeing it before it gets infested with tourists). The Cybele myths are Important to me.
3. India. I've often thought about going to find the hijras. (There was an American woman I met just over a year ago who was following the hijra path. She was a Vaishnavait and what is euphamistically called a "do-it-yourself transsexual").

I'm not sure of timeframes. India in 2004, maybe? Turkey may be earlier, may be later. If Aussie Joe decides to have a polycon in Oz, I'd definitely go for that.

I may go back to Haiti for Fet Gede next year. Depends on a lot of factors, I guess.
