So a bit late on the updates, So the adventure in Delhi started in the airport, I had paid an outrageous amount to stay at a place in Old Delhi just so I can have a airport pickup and not have to deal with touts right away as I heard in Delhi there a bit relentless. The only thing is when I got out of the airport and searched for my name, NADA! I was getting a bit worried slash pissed since I didn't have their number/lonely planet or anything for that matter. I had to call home to get my [View Full Entry]

The next morning I set out in search of a guesthouse near the beach - Resort after resort there was no luck everything was full for the full moon. After an exhaustive search I gave up and ended up catching a cab to meet Petra at the ferry station. (Introducing Petra) I met Petra 2 years ago during my French immersion course at University of Victoria (BC). It was random how we met each other 2 years ago (killing moths) and again how a facebook status sparked a reunion. She had just finished doing a dive course that I really wanted [View Full Entry]

After some breaky we got showered up and decided to go watch a movie. Finally saw Transformers 2, a really nice movie especially when you have the theatre all to you self for 80b ($2.67). After Transformers we did some window shopping, I found some Ed Hardy shirts that I was thinking of getting but they were a bit expensive at $4. After shopping we headed back to Khao San and grabbed some street food. Some of us headed to Patong Markets which is home to the Ping Pong shows but only to do some shopping. Shopping there wasn’t all that [View Full Entry]

angkor....wat!? Asia » Cambodia » North » Angkor
So after a short but reflective time in Phnom Penh I headed to Siem Reap, the gateway to Angkor Wat. Angkor Wat is the world’s largest religious site. It’s basically a lot of stone temples spread over quite a distance. The temples themselves are amazing and truly a must see. When I got into town I grabbed a bite to eat and went straight to bed, I had to wake up at 5am for sunrise. At minutes to 5 I waited outside for my tuk tuk that I had arranged the night prior to take me to the temples. The only [View Full Entry]

So I arrived into Chiang Mai around 6am well exhausted after the bus drops us off at their guesthouse which isn’t too bad 300 baht for a room with hot shower... the only thing is it didn’t come with any outlets. After a long nap I woke up and wandered around Chiang Mai, the city itself is moated on all 4 sides which is cool! I grabbed a quick vegan meal at this restaurant with free wifi, always a plus then crashed. The next morning I woke up to Chef Chan cooking school (Actually, the Best Thai Cookery School) and [View Full Entry]

After my flight I headed into Saigon for one more night, again attempted to finish my marketing project with no avail. The room we stayed at last time was booked so after some lunch I decided to check out this place the waitress was telling me about. I don't know what made me stay but I did, the place was however well dodgy and in need of a total reno. I stood their contemplating what I would do to the place and how I would run a hostel business instead of doing my marketing plan (typical). Woke up in the morning [View Full Entry]

So the next day after a bit of a hangover we went for breaky at our typical place, you cant go wrong with fresh baguettes and eggs for $1.50. After that I decided to try to do the responsible thing and attempt to finish my marketing report. The girls went out the beach and I stayed in an.... watch HBO LOL. I couldn't help it there was some pretty good shows on, I did attempt to start but failed miserably. We met Katie and Scott for dinner at this one place renowned for its brownies, the only thing is they only [View Full Entry]

So here goes my third attempt at blogging, started my vakay from a vakay about a week ago and its been unreal. In the beginning it was, as always a bit more nerving but now that were in the full swing of things its absolutely amazing. First couple of days in Bangkok were unreal, BOILING hot and soo much people. I've never seen traffic like I did there. Met some awesome Canadians and traveled with them around Bangkok. One thing about bangkok that I will not miss is constant questions of 'you want tuk tuk, ping pong show, lady boy'. Got [View Full Entry]
