Pretty sweet day - slepted only 2 hours but had a killer breakfast at this pretty cool hangout, which I think opens 24hours.  We did some shopping on Kho San and finally gave in to the Tuk Tuk driver.  Talk about giving us a ride - we wanted to goto MGK (i think) mall but we ended up going to 4 other places.  Which was fine I guess because we got to do alot of site seeing and picture taking.  Damn I even ended up buying some jewelry, talk about the will power of a snail, I just can't seem to say [View Full Entry]

What a crazy 2 days it has been.  First of all after watching Harry Potter with you guys, I ended up doing a last minute pack job because I fell asleep at home and didn't wake up till 4AM (had like an hour to get to the airport). Funny thing happen to me on the way to the airport, Mike the cab driver gave me a long ass surmon on the way there.  He was quite religous and insisted I prey to Jesus for a sign.  So in the lineup checking my bags at US Customs, I was approached by a [View Full Entry]

So it hasn't really hit me yet that I'm about to fly over the Pacific in about 15 hours. Have I packed? Nope. I think I'll watch Harry Potter tonight. I have found denial was the best way to ease the post travel stress which everyone I know seem to go through. Nothing like 2 nights in a row at Gorgo-mish to take your mind away from the trip. There will be a few things I will miss leaving Vancouver. 1. Waiting in line at Gorgomish while sketchmaster T gets ahead of me. 2. Lights at Lotus coming on "come on, [View Full Entry]

It's Thurs and I have a few more days to go till the "trip".  Interesting how that word can be used to describe my narcotic state after a party or a pleasant journey I'm about to take to the far East. How do i feel at the moment?  MIx feelings of excitement and alittle bit nervous.  The first week I'll be in Vietnam where I will rendez vous with my  parents.  I haven't been back here since I Ieft 26 years ago.  Apparently I have alot of relatives I have never met before, and my early childhood was a blur with only glimpses of [View Full Entry]

How kewl is this, my very first Blog on the NET.  I figure it's probably easier to use this channel of communication then to try email everyone.  I hear Internet is expensive, so that money can go to something more important like Redbull and WMD. *** This message is for Griffo, Ent, and SQL Daniel - I will be posting up as much as possible where I am so we can meet up, that and in case I party too hard and end up in some circus, you guys can come save me or better yet join me.  On a serious [View Full Entry]

The first stop was to Tamarindo which is pretty touristy. The surfing is good but the town is abit too developed for my liking. Any town with a pizza hut and subway fails the benchmark and you can expect pretty heavy prices for food and board. I would say on average meals here cost $8 and board $30 or $15 if you can find a roomate. The town is still in development but it will only get worse as more malls and expats move in. I would describe Tam between a less developed resort but almost at resort prices. You can [View Full Entry]
