I don't think I should ever try and be my own travel agent again. Getting to Santiago was quite the journey. Because in previous trips I have been frustrated by having to return to the same city and the end of the trip to fly home. So this time I had this bright idea to book a return trip to/from Lima, and then get myself to Santiago after. Well the gong show occurred a little something like this.... Flight from Castlegar Vancouver LA (1 night=$$) Lima (2 nights=sunburn, excitement to return) Santiago. It took like 3 days!LOL I have been in Santiago for 2 weeks now with a College here, IDMA, I have had 2 weeks of spanish (the first was a review of everything I already knew...so I didn't progress as I could have) ... read more

Okay so I've actually been home for a month now or something like that. The flights all went well and my little bro picked me up and he was on time!!! This is mostly for the friends I made traveling, you can put some of it together now. Now the excitment of being home lasted about 3 days I think. I knew it would be like that but what do ya do? It was a big suprise for pretty much all my family. My mom and Dean were sooo happy and that made it all worth it for me. My mom dropped like 20 some pounds and now fits in all my clothes. It's cool because it works both ways and she's a pretty stylish lady these days. This year Canada has had more snow in ... read more

All right this is my very last blog entry for SE Asia as tomorrow I fly over the big sea to Australia. So I arrived back in Bangkok and met again with Claire and Doug, I'm really going to miss them, I attempted a little shopping and then we headed to the Koh Tao, the "place" to dive in Thailand. Well, it is the place to dive, I had planned on taking my rescue course and when they said it would be $400CND I changed my mind and went for 10 fun dives instead, saved myself $150 and It was just fun no work. I got a sweet package with 5 nights free accommodation, 5 free breakfasts and 10 dives for $250, hard to beat that:) The diving was amazing, okay not like Sipidan but ... read more

Bangkok, Bangkok, Bangkok, is there anything I like about you? I'm trying to be positive in most of my writing but I REALLY don't get what the big hype is about Bangkok. Sure everything is at you fingertips on Kohl San Rd but it is all a big rip off. Maybe my feelings are somewhat altered because I wasn't feeling all that well while I was there and the hoards of other seemingly unapproachable tourists gave an unwelcoming feeling. I met up with a friend I met in Kuching, Greg, on my 3rd day there and we went around and did some of the sight seeing things like Buddha’s and temples. It was the Queens birthday so there was all sorts of celebrations and people all over the place. I'm not quite sure what all the ... read more

Well I was glad to escape the huffel and buffel of the big city(KL), I really just can't do them for long, too many people. The original plan was to hit up Tioman Island after taking a little side trip to Cherating, a little eastern coast town, and then Singapore to meet my girl Tammy. Well... after seeing Cherating and meeting the fantastic group of people that I did I couldn't help myself, I just stayed. I don't know how long, 6 or 7 days, it was I think the most relaxing time I've had on my trip thus far. Cherating is pretty well known for it's Batik workshops, its making designs on fabric with dye and wax, and so I tried to discover an artistic side to myself and well I think I did. Maybe ... read more
