sub(TITLES) + life - 26 letters + 5000 characters = ???

So, originally, I planned to name my travel blog "Life without subtitles" a less than original account of moving abroad to a place where I neither speak, nor read, nor understand the language. Or even the letters, for that matter.

And as it turns out, not only is the idea unoriginal, but so is the title of the blog. There are apparently several blogs with clever and not so clever references to the absence of subtitles. So, in the the grand tradition of being rebellious because it's the thing to do, I bring you in its place a title representing the ubiquitous presence of subtitles, but in the rather convoluted language of metaphors.

Oy. That was complicated. As far as moving to Asia goes, that pretty much sums it up.
