Checked out some beaches, the water was warmer than bath water, we got yelled at for sitting in other guesthouses chairs, saw plenty of speedos and saggy European tits, drank a few Beer Changs, got burnt in 15 minutes, and we were ready to move on.... [View Full Entry]

Today we decided to finally go check out some of these beaches we've been hearing about so it was a long ass day of travel. THIS IS ALL IN ONE DAY! We woke up early, checked out and caught a Tuk-Tuk to the airport, got on a shuttle to our plane, took the plane to Bangkok, took a shuttle to the gate, took a shuttle to the airplane, took the airplane to Surat Thani, took shuttle to the airport, took a bus to the fairy ports, took the fairy to Koh Samui (I start to feel a tender in the stomach), [View Full Entry]

Did some walking around Chiang Mai...checked out some temples and such. Their is a buttload of really good vegetarian eateries here so we have been enjoying our food for sure...apparently there is a sect of buddhists who are vegetarian here. We also went on a search for another digital camera because mine has been working on and off, but they are kind of expensive and seem kind of on the thick side. At night we checked out a Muay Thai fight, which was pretty rad. We were waited on by lady boys and the fighter in the main fight was the [View Full Entry]

After like a 14 hour train ride, we arrived to Chang Mai. The train was comfortable and I slept well, but Megan really couldn't cause her ear was hurting her and I guess it was too bright on the top bunk. However, it was cool to wake up riding through the jungles, mountains, and rice fields. We found a guest house upon arrival and after using the internet and screwing around it started raining really hard so I went swimming. At night we went to this big street festival they have every sunday night, which was pretty cool! [View Full Entry]

So we woke up early to buy tickets for an overnight sleeper train to Chang Mai then we headed to the bus station to catch a bus to Erawan Falls which is a 7 tiered waterfall about 70 km north of where we were. So we sit on this bus that they say was going to leave soon (10-15mins) and sweated our asses off for about 30 mins or so...it was pretty damn hot. We arrived right at the base of the waterfall and it was pretty sweet. We jumped in the pool at the base of one of the falls [View Full Entry]

Onward we go to Kanchanaburi on a 2 hour bus ride from Bangkok! We scored an A-frame bungalow right on the river for only like $20. The town itself it pretty chill and people seem to be nicer and not as shady. We saw the famous Bridge over River Kwae known from the WW2 era. There also is a place to pet tigers and have your picture taken, Tiger Temple, but there are many reports that, even thought it's a ""conservatory", they abuse and exploit the animals so we didn't want to support that... We also had some amazing food here. [View Full Entry]

Ok, we hopped on a commuter boat to go down the river to the populer temples we wanted to see, por ejemplo, Wat Pho featuring "The Reclining Buddha" and The Grand Palace. Throughout the day we kept getting kind of dizzy and nauseas...I couldn't figure out if it was the thick heat and humidity or the amount of deet (mosquito repellent) I was putting on my skin or just the air. We both got back to our hotel and took a nap. We went out again to Khao San Road and had some food and some drinks...later we played twister with [View Full Entry]

Ahoy Thailand! Asia
Okay, so we made it to the land of THAI! The flight was way more roomier and the staff was way nicer. Due to our "vegetarian" status, we get fed first and the food is way better...score! Anyways, we didn't have to worry about lost luggage on the new flight cause we didn't check any fool. So we scored a taxi from the airport to our hotel (guest house), which allowed us to become familiar with the crafty driving of the Thai's...basically, your best off not even looking up or you'll have an anxiety attack. Take the maniacal driving of Tijuana [View Full Entry]

Ok, so we arrived in Tokyo-Narrita airport! We didn't even have to put up a stink about the delayed flight because the Japanese had their shit together and as always, were SUPER nice! They hook us up with a nice hotel, dinner, and breakfast....also Megan and I searched out a bar at the top of the hotel, of course. Dinner had fries with no ketchup and breakfast had a random assortment of things including fermented navy beans and plenty of seaweed. Also, as a prelude of things to come, the toilet was tiny and had a bidet (DEF: A bidet is [View Full Entry]

Ok, so this is a delayed entry, but we arrived to LAX in a timely manner, but only to see a 4 hour delay! We were told that because of the bad weather around Hawaii, our plane got struck by lightening...apparently this happens all the time...I assured Megan of this. The flight was long and Megan decided to spill her entire green tea on my lap, but other than that, we're good. -Gregory Lars [View Full Entry]
