                    <description>A City of Superlatives Everything39s bigger in Texas. I think most Americans have heard this claim before. I was in Texas briefly once but I don39t particularly remember anything that left a large impression. I mean the Grand Canyon is in Arizona and the Sears Tower is in Illinois so... I don39t know. None the less apparently Texans like their everything bigger. If there39s one pla</description>

                    <title>Postapocalyptic beach zombies. Welcome to "paradise."</title>
                    <description>Multicolored umbrellas cast shade upon the beach chairs below. A rainbow of frozen beverages locked into deathgrips are slurped up by their consumers in a race against inevitable melting. Bikinis speedos flip flops sunglasses. Forgotten smudges of creamy sunblock cling to unflattering body parts. Hot sun scorching sands boiling sea water. Lobsters turn belly up right in the surf and offer </description>

I just feel like this place has been written about sooooooo much you know Anything I write will sound redundant and cliche I explain to my friend.My lack of desire to blog about Bangkok is threefold1.

                    <description>Dear travel LordThere comes a point in a backpacker39s odyssey when the knots in his back and dirt under his finger nails come together and demand a higher standard of accommodation. With a bag full of stinky clothes and the anticipation for a soft mattress I stroll up going comando no less to the counter at the Cambridge Swissbel 5star hotel in Medan.I have a reservation for three nights</description>

                    <title>Camping deep in the jungle with thieving monkeys</title>
                    <description>I wrote a lovely long blog entry on the small town of Berastagi with it39s volcano climbing and incredibly friendly people. I also wrote this using an application on my phone. However I39ve suddenly and incidentally found myself phoneless. Maybe the monkeys ran off with it. Either way it39s my own fault. I left my iPhone out in the open and now it39s gone. Stolen. Taken. Never to be </description>

                    <description>Location Inner Sumatra. Date Millions of years ago. What happened A catastrophic volcanic blast created basically the largest crater on Earth which then over time with the help of rivers and rain became Lake Toba A large island rests in the middle of the lake laced with jungle and home to the friendly Batak people who possess a mysterious past... And that39s exactly where I39m headed.</description>

                    <description>The buses are honking. A woman on the overhead speaker lists off scheduled departure times. Incomprehensible chatter surrounds me. Noise has taken over the Kuala Lumpur bus station. Luggage wheels scraping cell phones ringing loud voices. I crawl onto my bus pop in my earphones and let my music drown out the chaos.The bus comes to an abrupt halt and spits me out at 5 AM. It39s dark it39s</description>

                    <description>Laying on the concrete at the bus station watching the clouds roll over the hills. My Malaysian friend Roy is on his way to pick us up. It39s warm but the breeze keeps the heat at bay. Back in the tropics the trees look greener the flowers more vibrant. I see a Welcome to Penang sign. Alright now bring on the foodI was told in Penang you must eat eat eat So away I chomped Indian Chi</description>

                    <description>I want to go to Amsterdam my friend explains. I agreed that was fine considering she had agreed to go to Bruges my choice. Honestly I didn39t really know anything about Adam except for hearing about the legalization of marijauna and prostitution. With no desire to smoke and even less desire to pay for an intimate encounter I was starting to wonder what I was going to do with myself in t</description>

                    <description>I don39t typically like writing beer diaries. the last thing people want to read about is how drunk you were in a foreign country. But it is Belgium and what is this country wellknown for Beer indeed So i39m going to talk at least a little about beer. But don39t worry i39ll keep it classy. I found myself in a Belgium bar the first evening here in Bruges and i can39t think</description>

                    <description>From one city of lights to the next. Shanghai to Paris. From modern light spectacles to historic illumination. From the Pearl Tower to the Eiffel Tower. Here I am. So... What can I possibly write about Paris that hasn39t already been spelled out in plain English French and every other language Well after spending two years in China coming to France has me looking at everything from a diffe</description>

                    <description>I look back at the past year and a half and I39m overwhelmed with all my challenges feats and unforgettable moments I39ve faced here in China. I feel blessed. And I39ll tell anyone that moving abroad was the BEST DECISION I39ve ever made. And now it39s time for me to leave this country I39ve developed such a lovehate relationship with but not without first offering a tidbit o</description>

                    <description>As I was walking home this evening I made a detour through a pedestrian square...800 PMRed juicy flesh dripping from their jaws. The sidewalk stained and squishy. I step in some of the discarded pieces. Some sticks to my shoe. It doesn39t phase me because the sweet plum scent fills my surrounding as eveningers continue chewing and chipping away at their fleshy fruits. Tunes glide into my skul</description>

                    <title>Leisurely exploring Hangzhou's lush West Lake.</title>
                    <description>Prior to the trip the city was described to me in one word lush. This word kept sweeping through my mind as I partook in the activities around the city of Hangzhou39s West Lake. Dense greenery and an abundance of trees isn39t usually on the agenda in China39s major cities however Hangzhou was luckily out to prove it was an exception to the rule. The majority of the West Lake is </description>
