Love it Beau
Wow Beau, I felt like I was there with you, Love the pics, the one of the kid is hilarious. India sounds really - challenging - but it does change your perspective about life and what you really "need" doesn't it. You are so lucky to be in Thailand-yummm street food, tsing tao, really great ice cream cones at those 7/11's, I was addicted. Hope you get to Chiang Mai. I've heard Laos is beautiful as is Cambodia, though sometimes you have to check the borders there and at Burma. Traveling is the best! I'll be checking in for more stories. Have an amazing time.

Hi Beau! I am so glad you have had such crazy life experiences in India and learning so much about life and culture. I have heard too many good things about Thailand! I am very happy for you. I am sure you already know of places you would like to see in Thailand, but some popular suggestions are the beach in the movie The Beach, Ko Nang Yuan (three island connected by strips of soft sand) , Sarri beach, Ko Tao (an island, you can get a bungalo on the beach for 6 or 7 dollars a night, i knew someone who diceded to stay there for a few months and loved it). Keep posting your stories Beau, we love to read them and live vicariously though your amazing experiences :o) "Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." Mark Twain

Wow
Beau, it sounds like an amazing adventure... I wish I could pick up and do something like that... although I know what you mean about crazy food... and I love meeting other travelers... you make the quickest bonds out of no where - and you may never talk again (although there are many I have still kept in touch with which is nice when you travel around). I am glad to hear that you have enjoyed the trip - and I am also jealous that you are now in Thailand. I would love to go someday. I instead, am slowly getting settled into Berlin and trying to get used to the school year here. I will enver miss driving to work again - we literally hop on the train , grab a coffee and walk into school - 20 minutes... and at lunch or during a break, we just leave school and go sit outside a cafe in our "art district" of a neighborhood and enjoy the people passing and the sun overhead. Nothing like I would ever imagine in Chicago - I need to get a blog going so I can send it out in masses... but your was great to read. Have fun the rest of your trip and be safe! Megs

India Express
That's a pretty ridiculous tale. I bet you lost a lot of weight from the India diet of just pal, rice and puke? How long are you in Thailand for? Be careful with the red lights over there...

good stuff...
What a great adventure so far. I couldn't stop reading! It definitely takes me back. It's unfortunate that trash is such a problem. You'll notice that Thailand is much cleaner. Laos is pretty clean too (but not as clean as Thailand but not as dirty as India..) As you've probably already discovered, the trains and buses in Thailand are fairly on time. It's nice compared to a 2-3 day wait (which sounded awful). The food...oh I'm salivating just thinking about it. The food is amazing. I hope you get a chance to make it to Malaysia too. The food there is pretty dang good. Especially the beef rendang. I love Thailand. The people are super friendly and the 7-11's are always in sight just in case you need a cold bottle of water or a steam bun in the morning.

There's no place like home
OK, I admit this all sounds off-the-wall, over-the-top, out-of-this-world, amazing. But really, Sacramento is nice too. I think we have some Buddhists.

Well, Beau, your travel seems to beat anything I did up to this point, and definitely serves as an inspiration for my traveling future as well. I read everything you got up, and have to say it's very entertaining. It reminds me of some of my own experiences elsewhere. When you get back, be sure to let me know so I can convince you to swing by Arcata so I can hear more of this in person over a beer. Take care and keep collecting those stories.

First Blog entry reactions
Well, you are most certainly in a whole new world. You paint quite a picture with the narrative , and then of course the pictures are incredible. Two weeks into the trip--so far so good!
