I Love The Pictures Those are beautiful pictures. After reading through your blogs, I have a site that could aide you in your future travels.
I am a 27-year old male from Huntington Beach, California. I have been in love with traveling from the age of 18. Early on, it was usually road trips to local areas of interest. It wasn't until I joined the military that I got a real sense of what the world had to offer. I feel in love with the opportunity to visit new and interesting people and places. I have been to 30 countries, and that is only the tip of the iceberg for me.
I was lucky enough to get involved in a business that allows me many different opportunities:
Traveling at Cost
Tax Write-Offs for my Travel
Opportunity to Meet New and Interesting Individuals
Get Paid While Enjoying New Destinations
Please listen to me when I tell you that this is an offer that you can't let pass you by. Visit my website for more information:

P.S. I've found our company to offer some of the lowest rates to the best destinations worldwide. It is worth your while to take a look!!!
My Building You have got lots of photos of the building I used to work in. I think it's called the Governor MacQuarie building or something. See in the photo of "Gary at the top of the Sydney Tower" it is the building second from the left, with the kind of criss cross on the roof. And Matrix and Mission Impossible were filmed there you know! Plus - you must live very close to 121 Cathedral Street and the East Sydney Hotel. Go and visit!!!! Karen x
Allez Boo? Yes, we went to Allez Boo on our first night for food as it was just on the corner. It was rank and overpriced, all the cafes down the street are much nicer. Two people sent their food back and left the place while we were there. Nice bamboo though.
Ho Chi Minh City is good but we leave tomorrow for distant lands. A blog will be up shortly detailing much of it. It's not as cheap as Kampuchea (old skool Cambodia name), but my God, this must be the DVD capital.
Hope Pandapaws hasn't drowned in a cold river.
The beard has since been deleted by order of senior management. It was getting really itchy too. It's Myanmar anyway now, but most border crossings are closed now anyway.
How tall Gary the picture of City View, Bank of China is awesome
... WAITING FOR IT...

Wow Hi guys. The elephant ride looks like great fun!! It looks and sounds like you're having a fab time. Slightly jelous! I hope you're feeling lots better now Gary, sounded nasty. Take care. xx
Chiang Mai Glad you managed to get a consolation trek. To be honest, it sounds as though you did all the all same things we did on the three day trek, minus all the hours of walking in the heat, and having to wash from a big barrel of cold water.
Did you see Chan's Place Hostel in Chiang Mai? That's where we stayed. And have you got drunk on Sang-Som yet - it's potent mix would clear up any bacterial infection.
laa go n
