Day : Day 11
Time : 1100
Location : Travelling - Aeroplane and Dresden
Trigger Words : 20
Title : Geisha - Lesley Downer
Purpose : I'm off to Japan later in the year, so along with learning some of the language, I thought I'd better read more than just a guide book or two..
Prepare and Preview: This was done in an airport lounge, with much adrenalin running as about I was about to catch a plane to Germany.
Thoughts on Process : I just blanked everybody out of my mind as I flipped the pages. There is so much going on in a airport lounge, people just don't notice another traveller. Although sometimes I am questioning, am I applying the PRWMS or just scanning pages?
Time Spent activating and how : I SuperRead and dipped the book for ages and ages. Not only was this the longest/larges book to date, was in English and Japanese. There was so much to take in. I was very drained by the end of the whole reading, yet. happy as this was a huge accomplishment. I think all in all I activated the book for some 5 hours. In the past the size of book would have put me off from even picking it up.
What is the one thing from the book that I can use right now in my life? October, October, October. That is when I'm off to Japan. The book is a look at a fast disappearing area of Japanese culture. Yet it is truly a great piece of work. Now on to learning the language.
The Future : A book of this size and complexity, should be read over several days. In fact there was much information, I'll never read again or even need to know. Despite that, I'm glad I activated the whole book. Being able to activate such a long book, was quite an accomplishment. Just don't ask me to mind map it.
Side Note : Back from Dresden, so I'll be writing up the other books that I've PhotoRead over the last week, when I can.
Happy Travels
