Dennis Rubi - Dennis Rubi

Hi this is Dennis and Elliott, we're leaving on December 17th to Thailand in search for a retreat, adventures, and select activities. The original reason I wanted to go to Thailand was the movie "The Beach" starring Leonardo DiCaprio, and from that moment on I made it my mission to go to that beach and asked Elliott if he wanted to come. Also if I get accepted into CSULB as a transfer student next fall, this will be my last 6 week winterbreak I'll get from going to a community college so I wanted to do something with the time I've been given.

Ladies and Gentlemen, This is the Mambo No. 5

Asia » Thailand » Central » Bangkok

It's Time
Chawalai and I riding a tuk tuk.

The beaches in Thailand are cool the water is so warm compared to home. I chilled at the beach by my hotel a few more times and the water was so warm even at night. Me and some other guys made sand barriers to protect our fort well after the sun was down and when I went back into the water to wash my hands I couldn't believe how warm it was. I went back to Phuket a few days later. Said goodbye to Moo, wasn't sad at the time but now I kinda am I never even took a pic [View Full Entry]

Merry Christmas in Koh Phi Phi

Asia » Thailand » South » Ko Phi Phi

Land Ho!
Koh Phi Phi Ley reminds me of myself

I spent my Christmas on the Phi Phi Islands. The owner of the hotel/guesthouse hooked it up and called a van to pick me up the next morning. The driver was cool I sat up front with him and he was bascially my hero fo awhile. He told me stories about the tsunami last year, like how the streets were flooded and how the water was coming out of the sewers and the canals overflowing. He said at that time he had japanese tourists with him and he took them to safety. This other passenger who was translating what he was [View Full Entry]

12hr bus ride to phuket? phuk-et im a rIder

Step Away from this Toilet
If you recognize this green pail and yellowish water, use is ill advised. Just turn around and act like you saw nothing.

Title is lame I know, but besdies the point, I've had enough of Bangkok for the time being and thought the time has come for the big hitters of my trip. Given I didn't know what the heck I was doing or where to go and what to do I sought for help from friends I met online. Originally I was planning on taking a 1 hour plane ride there, but I was convinced by how much money I can save taking a bus. She also had a friend who lives and works there she knew from college who was going [View Full Entry]

I Finally Made It

Asia » Thailand » Central » Bangkok

The Living Room

My brain is a jar of pickles right now, i don't know if that is a proper analogy but I don't care. I was on China airlines where the majority spoke chinese, wasn't sure what the pilot or what anyone else was saying at the time, then I happen upon Taiwan where everyone speaks taiwanese which is why I got lost in the first place. Now here I is in Bangkok, Thailand where everyone speaks Thai. I wake up every morning pretty surprised myself how I made it this far. At the airport i had no clue where to go or [View Full Entry]

The Men
The finest young gentlment I've ever had the opportunity to work wif

Hey everyone it is I and I am doing well. My flight was ok and super long. I thought it would be a long and lonely flight but I sat next to a guy from Taiwan who was super cool his name was Steven. We chopped it up for like the whole flight he's a foreign exchange student in Tennessee. When we first got offered beverages I wanted to test the waters of international waters and asked for a beer then a cocktail afterwards. No good, I repeat no good. I'm a light drinker so about 30 minutes into my mission [View Full Entry]

Preparation/Game Day

North America » United States » California » San Diego

Packing
Just some goods from the local item shops around these parts

I'll be honest with you, I'm really nervous right now, today at 9:15PM I will be embarking on an adventure of courage, guts, and glory. I think. I just got everything packed mainly the essentials. Everything had to be last minute because I just got done with finals a couple days ago, but I got my travel shots like 4 weeks ago to let the jooz settle in my capillaries. It sucked because I had to get like 3 of the 5 in one day and I think they stuck the apparatus inside the same hole for each one then the [View Full Entry]
