Ni Hao! Figured I'd jump on here and post an entry about Beijing for anyone who still reads this. Since I last wrote I was in Italy, heading to Beijing. I flew into China on 2/25 and have since been in Beijing, but just recently got to Xi'an, where I have been for 2 days. I plan to post an entry about Xi'an when I am done here. For now, Beijing will have to do. Hope everyone is doing well in the S... Read Full Entry

OK, so here's the plan: Thailand, Cambodia, Italy, China, South Korea, and Mongolia in approximately five months. Life's too short to not get lost along the way, right? I'll meet up with Danielle (Dan) and Paula (Paul) in Thailand and then rough the rest on my own from China forward. I don't know how often I'll have time to update this, but I will as much as I can - so bear with me. Shoot me a comment or email me, I'm sure I'll love to hear from you. I promise adventure, mishap... full info

Jealous much, Dan? (yes).

Acrobat Show

Strength Act. These guys were beasts. I don't know why they are half naked. I didn't pay for that.

Shweeet.

Hoop jumping. Slow shutttttta.

Swinging strips act. These were amazing.

A man waving a flag and another doing a flip? Oh yes.

Ropes act. Very nimble these little Olympic rejects are.

Ling Ding countryside.

Not a friendly place. At least it looks unfriendly.

Lights inside. This was pretty much the most photogenic part of the tomb. Yes, it's true.

Ming Tombs

More lights. I wish these were as sweet as Dan's Barcelona ones, but they're not. Whateva.

Is that a ball of power?

The Soul Tower.

Poor bear. Doesn't he look thrilled?

This guy just had a butt itch that would not go away.

A little jealous, yes.
Applause for the light rays. I demand fifty percent of the profit for copyright infringment. And I like the great wall shots. So super sprawling! Spain has been pretty amazing so far, what with all the architecture and food and flaminco stuff. You would probably fill up a memory card a day if you were here. Oh yeah and you would have laughed if you were in Barcelona with me when a guy playing the violin that I was recording, came over to me yelled at me in Spanish and flipped me off. I gave him the 1000 yard stare though so he lost face. I hope your WWOOF-ing works out and that you meet more people who speak English soon. Remember I will be home on the 11th so if you can get to a phone you can call me so you can speak English. Peace out homes. Dan

wall building
Let's just say I won't complain about building the hugely short rock wall Paul and I need to finish in our backyard. Love your sepia shots and the b/w of the two acrobat guys. You are having quite an experience. Can't imagine being alone amid a world where no one speaks my language. I thought of Lily, though, when she first came here and felt similar frustration at our house. I love reading your stuff and looking at your pics, Kam (I know, I'm repeating myself). Just keep writing and taking photos and remember there are many of us out here listening to and hearing you. 'kay?

karen, paul, and ruth: thank you all for the kind words and i hope you are all doing well. i guess traveling with dan was ok, i don't know if i would do it again. maybe to south america or something. anyway, i don't know how much more time i'm going to be traveling b/c of funds, BUT when and only when I come back I hope to see all of you again. mostly so i can show you how much better my pictures are than dan's. but everyone already knows that. ha.

Me and my blog
Hopefully I will be able to post my blog right now, but you know how long it takes me to think so you could be waiting another two days. And yeah probably around the 25th is when I will be free. Good estimate.

Oh geeze is that what I think it is in that trashcan? That's hella gross. And how do you use that since there doesn't seem to be any flusher?
