No Italian food? I am surprised you didn't sample the wonderful retaurants of the capital.
It is massively impressive that you could fix the clutch yourself. When you are finished the trip, the old gray battleship car could use a little work...
A gentle thought about photos - consider moving a bit closer to the subject for a few shot. We all want to see the PEOPLE first, and then the stuff.
Onward,

Your Adventure I don't know how you two are surviving this journey. You must have cast iron stomaches and have been able to sleep in the awful places. I am so greatful that I'm not along for the ride. Love you, Mom P.S. Be safe and be careful.
UXO indeed... We here in The Land of Not Quite Right are musing on the meaning of UXO?
Unusually Xenophobic Orifices?
Unused Xanax Overhead?
Ubiquitous X-rated Onions?
We also are at a loss about your deer ingestion? Did you ingest any?
Have heart, french bread of suprior quality is coming...

I actually thought this was funny! Hi Honey,
this was a better event then eating....well you know what.. I laughed at this story as I could picture you in that get up....history is always interesting as is our history... a couple of english guys fight an entire english government...quite amazing don't you think? anyway the history there wasn't so cut and dry....people wanted to be free not just equal....that is why everyone wanted to live here...you should just put all your stories together from when you started writing this until now and put it in a book...I has started reading your old stories and they are very interesting......
keep going for me..Love you
mom
WE DON'T EAT DOG EITHER! We can see views in America just like that ..however..we won't get served DOG no matter where we go! hahha
I thought eating a spider was bad but oh my god .....
love you
mom

Happy 2 C U R back Wow, Brett! Seems like you are having fun. I am thrilled to read all of your adventures and can't wait for the movie version...hmmmm who will star as Ignatious Crumple?????? Brett, be safe, have fun and keep blogging! Looking forward to seeing up in Baltimore as soon as you return to the States.
long trip to nowhere! Hi honey
I was happy to see your story this morning....sucks about the computer and Ipod but that is part of traveling to these countries and the more people know how to handle those kind of situations the better the story.. that is part of writing ...educating us so we know what to do....
hope you got out of there and are enjoying your journey
love mom
It is about time!! Hurray!! I was glad to see this story. It is not some place I want to tour but it looks like you enjoy this stuff. I enjoy the pictures of your feet if you don't get into any other pictures.....however!!!!! You look great even if you are indulging ...oh yeah , you just ate Jon's new pet. One of my kids befriends an spider and the other one is eating them. Oh my what is a mother to do. Jon went to the reptile show and got his new pet spider and you just ate it ..wait till he sees this. He is sleeping in the other bedroom now but when he wakes up ...I am going to show him this. hahhaha
Nice monkey too!
Love mom
The fun of Angkor these days... Actually, you are pretty lucky to see Angkor now. When I was there like what, 15 years ago, there were still UN personnel on duty and lots of land mines!!
Almost NO tourists and no charges - just me and the world's most delapidated scooter - which I couldn't ride anyway, and almost fell off a freaking bridge.
There were no maps, and I ended up way way way out there somewhere.
Came across some peacekeepers from Sudan who told me if a log was across the road, to avoid it because that indicated there were still land mines!
I LOVE to hear of your adventures with the locals - absolutely fantastic.

So, people steal all over! Dear Brett,
Finally a story.....sorry about the bike...glad you are okay! You look peaceful and content. It seems that there are not so nice people all over the world. Despite the loss of the bike you looked at it and said it is all about plan "B" isn't it? I am proud that you don't let crap get to you and on you go. Have fun be safe.
Love Mom
Way to go! Always best to not stop for the police anywhere in SE ASIA.
Like you said, if they really want you, they will try a second or third time...
Everyone misses you Sonny.
