Okay, so my last blog I am sure was a little underwhelming for a 'last hurrah' kind of blog. I will try to make up for it now. I no longer have to really really consentrate just to walk straight, and I am not fighting every instinct in my body to hurl all over the place just focusing on my typed words. I think I am unstoned now. Thank bloody god. That was unnerving. A two day stone all for an extra $1 on my pizza. I'm a fool, I tell you! A fool! I have so much to say, and [View Full Entry]

Ahhh...Back in Bangkok, where there is a 7-11 on every street, where there is air conditioned high speed internet places, where you can forget everything you saw in the past week because life in Bangkok just seems so normal now. The past few days in Cambodia were really super. I had a driver who's name was John. After taking me to a few run of the mill tourist places he invited me to go to the weekly Saturday kickboxing match with him. It was a brilliant day at the fights. I wasn't really looking forward to it after the so-so time [View Full Entry]

Okay, I am having a much better day today. Mostly because I have studiously avoided the masses and kept to myself as much as possible. My sanity depended on it. After my blog yesterday I ran into a French couple that I had met in Siem Reap, and felt better when they expressed the same feelings I had about the poverty and beggers here. I am not the only one suffering from travellers guilt. Although it was a good day, it was far from happy this morning, as I visited the S-21 museum and the Killing Feilds today. The barbarity and [View Full Entry]

Today I cried for this country and it's hellish past full of war and famine, and it's future full of corruption and despair. I cried for the people of the country, doing everything they can to stay afloat. I cried for the little boy who was chased away from a food stall with a whip. He didn't cry or yell, just looked with old eyes upon us tourists, pleading silently for something to eat while purple welts formed on his arms and legs. I cried for the dog limping on three legs who was chased away as well, but even more [View Full Entry]

My third and final day in Siem Reap, and it's been a good one. Just a short morning visiting temples (only three small ones this morning) and the rest of the day has been spent in and around the city. We visited the Rolous Temples this morning, and like I said they were very small but none the less quite grand. These ones were more interesting in the fact that each of them had a pagoda attached that the buddhist monks live in, and as they were right in the middle of a village there were more locals to talk with.

Ah ha! I have succesfully made it a full 24 hours without once flashing myself to anyone! (That I didn't mean to, of course!). I knew I had it in me! Life in Cambodia is going along just marvelously. By the end of my time in Thailand I thought all I wanted to do was just go home. I felt it so bad actually that I contemplated forgoing Cambodia and flying home early. Turns out what I really wanted was to get out of Thailand and on my own again, because I don't ever want to go back home. Right now, [View Full Entry]

Ahhhh....life on the road. Wind in my hair, dirt on my face, and my life on my back. It's good to be back on my own, doing my own thing, not worrying about schedules and meetings and what others want to do. It's all about me baby, and that's just the way I likes it! So, I guess I have some explaining to do after my last blog, though like I said there's not alot about the ping pong show that I am willing to write online for all eyes and ears. After our final goodbye dinner with the group, five [View Full Entry]

Well, here it is December 1st already. I am back in Bangkok for two days, and then it is off to Cambodia, a whole other adventure awaiting me there. I can't believe my time in Thailand is done. I already feel nostalgic about it. I am sitting in the interent cafe on Khao San fighting the tear in my eye, thinking of all I have experienced here, and all the great people I met while doing it. *sigh* I have had an amazing week in Southern Thailand. We left Ao Nang for Koh Muk on a long tail boat, and got [View Full Entry]

Have just come back from a ping pong show in Patpong. I would discuss more, but utterly not for public eyes and ears. A little bit disturbing. Went to another club on Khao San, but the group I am with really are a bunch of soft cocks. Merely 2am and they are ready for bed. Didn't even get a chance to get on the dance floor. Left them all and randomly went into another club by myself, playing the happy song. I wish I knew what the name of the happy song was, because I love it, and it's so happy. [View Full Entry]

Okay, so the heat's not so bad when you are island hopping in a speed boat, with the wind in your hair and a beer in your hand. It's even quite lovely! We got into Krabi yesterday afternoon, for a free afternoon to explore the town. I didn't see much, though, as by this time my upset belly had turned into some really nasty runs. I didn't dare venture too far from the bathroom in the hotel lobby. Lucky for me, there is an eyeglass store literally right next door, and I was able to pick out a pair of glasses [View Full Entry]
