                    <description>Winding down with the WeatherThe morning after my incredible luck at the glaciers the weather was anything but pleasant. You will not be able to tell from the pictures I have chosen for the blogs but I have had nasty weather on the way. But I have managed to time it so that I have been on the road on those days and not missing out on anything really important. It is also a way of cleaning the d</description>

                    <description>Just another IslandOn that Friday morning I drove down to the harbor and got myself and my new car on the ferry. Yeah the EEL was left behind. After a few days I got fed up with it. Not the car as such. The CD player in the EEL. It could only play the first 56 songs on every CD and often it didn39t do that very well. Apart from the odd hitchhikers and a Norwegian guy who went along for a day</description>

                    <description>Same Shit  Different TopicI drove into Raglan settled down at the bar at a hotel and soon after Katka and her surfer friend Noah joined me. They gave me a quick update on the town. It is about SURFING. Apparently I had stumbled into one of the premier surf spots in the world. A Swedish guy I met at the backpacker place I stayed at told me that he had been dreaming about that place for 15 years </description>

Goenka begins the instruction sessions in the morning and afternoon during a tenday Vipassana course and it pretty much explains why I chose to start this trip by sitting down and shutting up for ten days.But let me start by quickly explaining why I am all of a</description>

Even though it was more or less written it has taken me forever to make the final editing but here it is. All of the underwater photos were made by Kari Kulonen.

I have also found some pictures that sort of matches the spirit of the stories below.The other kind of travel tipsIn the last installment of Anecdotes I was rambling about how useless phrasebooks are. The same goes for travel guides in general. They do try to warn you of strange customs in the count</description>

Well not so easy so I have spent a few days figuring out how to go about it.What the hell is meditation anywayIf you are anything like what I was just a couple of weeks ago you only have a vague idea what meditation is. Something like sitting crosslegged and </description>

                    <description>Angkor and BFCE  RevealedOomphI like songs and tunes that has an Oomph. It is when they let they let the music almost die out only to increase the intensity in one almost violent blast. Winding down and then all of a sudden give it full throttle again. That is an Oomph. Of course this is just the name it has in my head. I'm sure there is a more scientific name for it but it will always be Oomphs</description>

                    <description>Crazy CambodiaWhen I got of the bus in Phnom Penh there was a mass of tuktuk drivers trying to get our attention but there was an Australian sounding thunder of a voice that caught my attention. It was Sam a guy my age that spoke a mysteriously perfect English and he was to be my driver for the first two days in Phnom Penh. First of all he got me to a hotel that would be the perfect level of lu</description>

                    <description>All is quiet in Southern LaosThe last post took almost two days to make. The slow internet connections make especially the photos quite demanding and that post became so long and had so many photos that it took forever to get it done.But I did have a chance to enjoy Luang Prabang all over again. One of the things I indulged in was massages. When you travel with men it just not the kind of thing y</description>

                    <description>Oh My BuddhaThis is going to be a very long post but also with a lot of nice photos.I had spent a week in Singapore trying to get a visa to Myanmar. No luck. It feels strange when you just want to visit a country and your motives are being questioned because of an upcoming election but that is what happens when you put unemployed as your occupation and your application is subsequently sent to </description>

                    <description>Anecdotes II have tried to collect a few stories and observations along my way that may be a little funnier than my normal posts on this blog. There are many more than the ones below but I will publish them as I find time. Since these are just stories there will not be photos this time.Gordon the GeckoSome of my best friends in Southeast Asia are the geckos. These small lizardlike creatures work</description>

                    <description>Project SpermEric and I went down to the harbor in Larantuka for the 8 o'clock ferry to embark on what in my head had been called Project Sperm for quite a while. I think it was in Yogyakarta that one of us had been leafing through Lonely Planet and had stumbled on our destination and said We have to go there. That we were now finally on our way there felt absolutely fantastic.The ferry was of</description>

                    <description>Trans FloresWe stayed in Lubuan Bajo for a few days after the cruise. I am not really sure why. Eric began to hate the place. I didn't understand why. It is a small port town and that means that it must be a little gritty dirty and smelly but I enjoyed it there. Our last night was a saturday and that means live music at the Paradise Bar the only place in town that is open late at night. It is a </description>

Our six day liveaboard cruise around Komodo has been planned for a while and it is hopefully going to be the most expensive thing I will do on this trip. It is possible to do daytrips from Labuan Bajo to the various d</description>

                    <description>A small cup of JavaI spent a few days in KL in a futile attempt to get a proper 60 day visa to Indonesia. August 31st was however the Malaysian independence day so the embassy closed and apparently didn't accept new visa applications the day before. The day after they threw so much red tape after me that I gave up and flew to Jakarta and got another visa on arrival in a matter of minutes.I had a d</description>

                    <description>Hi EveryoneThis actually should have been a very short update with an emphasis on photos but let's get the drama out of the way first.On Friday 27th Eric and I went to climb the Sinabung volcano some 27 km. from Beristagi south of Medan. It was a great but for me somewhat distressing climb since it became painfully obvious that I am no longer the fastest one on any mountain. I realized along th</description>

Tomorrow I will be going back to Sumatra and heading up into the mountains to go trekking in the jungle. When I laid out my plan in the dive shop Eric an American from Connecticut and Sylvia a Canadian from Victoria BC became very inte</description>

                    <description>Finally hereHi. It has taken a bit longer to find time to post than I had thought. The life of a student diver is actually quite busy. A couple of dives a day and then study study study the rest of the time. But I'm not complaining as you will see.Getting hereThe trip down here was uneventful apart from massive delays on the flights. In Amsterdam they found a problem in one of the engines and we</description>
