So...this travelblog thing says it has been 37 days since my last entry. Had this been during my travels, I would have had a plethora of hate mail from my many fans, followed by worried emails, then frantic emails and then my friends and family would've hopped on planes and would be crazily running around Asia looking for a dirty, curly haired former Bollywood star lost somewhere. Most would probably start with anywhere within Asia that sells cheese and the rest would start anywhere that sells anything. My guess is, that at some point, I would be found and I would [View Full Entry]

I made it! 30 hours of flying is not so bad! After picking up my cousins at school on Wednesday, I was dropped off at the airport in Singapore. I was sad to say goodbye and to begin the end of my fabulous journey. The Singapore airport was completely empty and just as organized as I had expected. I was heading to my gate and realized while shopping and playing at the apple store that I hadn't yet gone through security. It was so strange-the security is located right at the gate and you can't go through until just before your [View Full Entry]

'Tis the last day of my great Asian Adventure (lets hope my 30+ hour trip home won't be too much of an adventure!)...the last few days have been relaxing and good. I have gotten to hang out with my cousins and see a lot of Singapore. We have gone bike riding, I have attempted to ripstick, I've shopped, shopped some more, ate, ate some more and pretty much just had a great time! I got to have a Singapore Sling at the famous Raffles Hotel (and throw peanut shells on the floor). I bought all of Little India (wishing the prices [View Full Entry]

i am happily settled at my cousin's house in Singapore, but getting here.... I go to where I was told to catch my boat to leave the islands. Due to the storm, they were leaving from the other end of the beach. not a big deal-its a very small beach. i am carrying my bags and got attacked by a wave. i then get to the taxi boat that is going to take me to the other boat and i pretty much have to wade through the waves with all my bags. it was kinda insane. almost lost my shoes and [View Full Entry]

The last 2 days have been a stormy mess. It makes things difficult when you are living in a hut on an island (think, waking up at 7am, having to pee but the only way to do so is run through the terrential downpour), but it has been a fun few days anyways. We have been running around in the rain, swimming through a storm, watching movies and just hanging out. Swimming was a serius adventure. I finally understand the feeling of being pulled out to shore and being unable to get back. Luckily I had 'pinky', the illegitimate raft born [View Full Entry]

I am now being a beach bum on an island with the clearest, most beautiful water I have ever seen in my entire life. But back track a few days and I was sleeping in a cave. with bats.... We got up to set out on our 3 day journey into the oldest rainforest in the world-Tamen Nagara. We was me, the 2 Canadian guys I had met on the bus, one Canadian girl and a Danish guy. We were to be guided by an insane jungle man named "mon". Set with my jungle hat and their Bob Marley gear, we [View Full Entry]

I left my lovely home in Chiang Mai. it was a very sad farewell, but it was time to move on. I got to the airport and everything went relatively well except that I hadn't known about air asia's 15kg baggage limit (guess you should read the fine print when flying a budget airline). my bag was 18.1kg. I was able to remove enough stuff that i was able to check my bag without having to pay. yay. i left on my jet plane and was excited to get to malaysia. i get through customs and all that without a problem [View Full Entry]

It has been a few more days of holiday madness and I do not want to get hit with water ever again. I am even fearful of the shower. I have headed right into the festivities many times over the past few days, however I have also ventured out many times where the main goal is to stay dry. never works. ever. you are not safe anywhere in this country until maybe tomorrow. I am leaving today so I have already dried off and will no longer have to seal everything i own in plastic. my electronics have come out of [View Full Entry]

When I last wrote, it was pre-Songkran festivities. we are now completely in the midst of the madness. seriously. this festival is insane. 2 days ago, we ventured out to 'practice' soaking people. we bought some water guns (mine is an elephant backpack) and headed out. it was crazy and this was before the holiday even begun. people were just all along the moat with water guns and buckets soaking people all day. it was super fun, except got kind of crazy when people put ice blocks in their water and froze you. we had fun adn then headed back for [View Full Entry]

Wow. it has been days of the most adventurous adventures in awhile! starting where I last left you....in Bangkok-had some mango and sticky rice from the street and icecream for dinner which was wonderful. Then i got on my bus to head to Chiang Mai. We left way later than planned and it was not the most comfortable thing. I sleep so well on sleeper trains that i was hoping buses would have the same effect. not so much. didn't sleep one wink, but it was ok. got eaten my some bugs and survived the ride. oddly enough, the bus stopped [View Full Entry]
