Well I am here....Nepal. Home of the largest mountain in the world...and it just happens to also be the home of the best street food i have ever come across....not that any of you fools know about this; but MOMO'S are the best. I dont really know how to describe them. They are cooked in a bamboo steamer kind of like dumplings (dim sum), they look like Chinese dumplings...kind of. Basically they are some sort of dough wrapped around some kind of meat (i think)...i have learned that it is better not to ask to many questions, especially if it tastes [View Full Entry]

After Luang Prabang, I headed (by bus) to a town called Vang Vieng...which as far as I am concerned is know for its RIVER TUBING...and to all my loyal readers at home...you fool's know how I love to go TUBING. I am telling you, the tubing here is at another level. We need to up our game up at home. So I have been traveling with these two German guys all though Laos, and they where with me on the rafting trip. So this is the way it works. You get a tube...get a ride up river and then just sit [View Full Entry]

After a few days of the New Year’s celebration I was kind of done with! I mean....it was really fun at first...but when a country is having a holiday like that you really cannot do anything else! So I decided to head into Laos.....by the "Slow Boat". And it was AMAZING. There are times on my trip when I really feel like I am doing something amazing...times when I'm like "hey I am on the other side of the world", and this boat trip was one of those times. It took two days to get from the Thai - Laos border [View Full Entry]

Chang Mai and the Thai New Year celebration After a really enjoyable time in Bangkok, I decided to head up north to a city called Change Mai. Change Mai is known for its trekking to remote Thai villages, elephant rides, cooking classes, and other things of that sort. But my main reason for going was to celebrate the Thai New Year; which is also known as Songkran. Songkran is a Thai word which means "move" or "change place" as it is the day when the sun changes its position in the zodiac. It is also known as the "Water Festival" as [View Full Entry]

Cambodia, the land where men tell you that you are handsome and strong, the women tell you they love you, and the children blow you kisses. I was only in Cambodia for a few days…just to see the temples of Angkur, but it has been one of the highlights of my trip. The temples are truly something unique! The whole time I was here it really felt surreal, like I wasn’t actually trampling around the ruins of Angkor Wat. I’ve seen this place on TV and in national geographic…but to actually be here…it was a feeling similar to the first time [View Full Entry]

Happy (Thai) New Years!! Today is the official start of the Thai New Year, and the celebration lasts 3 days. I just arrived in Chang Mai, which is a 14 hour train ride north of Thailand. But let me catch you up with my previous 2 weeks first. After my last blog (about Bangkok) I headed back down south to the Island of Phuket. Phuket is one of the better know islands of the coast of Thailand, and was one that was effected by the tsunami. Since I was in this part of the world I figured that it would be [View Full Entry]

I arrived in Bangkok two nights ago at 1am....with all intentions of going right to bed and getting an early start the next day. But the thing is that when you pull into Bangkok (specifically KoahSan Road sp?) you get sucked into the energy, the lights, the madness (but not the lady boys). Bangkok has tons and tons of energy...I am really having a good time here, much better then I thought. Everyone had warned me that Bangkok is just another big messy Asian city...but I have a totally different picture. So while I was on the 10 hour boat/bus ride [View Full Entry]

So I left the Cameron Highlands with the intentions of getting to Koh Phangan (a island of the coast of southern Thailand) in time for the world reknown FULL MOON PARTY. I ended up on buses and boats for about 16 hours....just to finally get to the island and learn that i was one day LATE!!! I was a little worried about that because all the websites had different dates listed....but i could not have gotten there any earlier. So anyways, I stayed in Koh Phangan for a few days, and basically just relaxed on the beach...nothing really to note. Then [View Full Entry]

A little taste of Malaysia From Bali, I flew directly to Singapore (again) and spent the day wondering around the city (again). The next day I purchased an overnight train ticket to Kuala Lumpur (in Malaysia…which is north of Singapore). The whole day; and the train ride, where pretty much event free. So I arrived in Kuala Lumpur early in the morning (6am) dropped my bags off at a hotel, and decided to walk around and get a feel for the city. I was pretty disappointed. KL (Kuala Lumpur) seemed to be just another big city with even less things to [View Full Entry]
