I've finally finished my big Asian trip and have about 9 blogs left to write. So far I've covered Japan, Mongolia, China, Hong Kong, Macau, Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia, but stay tuned for Myanmar, Thailand, Malaysia, more Japan and London! I'm just getting settled back into life in Canada now, so wait patiently for the last few blogs. Especially Myanmar...that was quite an 'interesting' couple weeks... ... full info

How heavy is your pack?
No, seriosuly, how heavy is it? I know you did all sorts of awesome things and met all sorts of people, but I need to focus on the last picture. Now I know who can pack an elephant into a suitcase. The coffee part sounds good too. Mmmm coffee, I can almost smell it from here. Can't wait til the next installment.

What is "herpes" in Vietnamese?
hahahahahahahahahaha Did you ever find out what those people were doing? You know what it reminded me of? Did you ever see that movie EuroTrip? Of course, you've seen it...forgot my audience. Anyhoo, remember the scene when they're waiting in line to get into the Louvre, and there's that robot mime guy, and the main character starts imitating him, and they get into a robot mime throwdown fight? If that little girl hadn't come along, I could so see it progressing to something bad. As for those horrible things in the war museum, they're hard to see, but I think everyone should see those things at some point. It serves as a reminder for our generation to not repeat the mistakes and atrocities of the generation we came from. Thank you for being my best friend and coming through for me even when you're in a shack in the middle of a Cambodian swamp. It would mean the world to me even if you were in your jammies sipping coffee at home in Richmond Hill, but it means SO much more that you were in a swamp, and hell, it'll make a good story for us to tell. I printed off your emails and they're now in my journal that I take everywhere with me. I miss you!! What's the countdown of days right now?

One lss fat lady in Saigon...
Hi Krysta Newsflash - Nicky had her little boy, named Tai, weighing in at 2.9kg on Tuesday night by Caesarian... he was 3 weeks early but doctors were a little worried about his heart rate slowing to 50bpm so they decided to bring him out early. Nicky is elated, handling the pain and enjoying her son... I have about 7 weeks to go and latest stats says she's already 2.5kg so I may have a whopper on the way! Phirun emailed and said he enjoyed the evening out in Phnom Penh with you, and I sent him on your photos - is he on your blog list yet? Glad to see you are still enjoying life on the road, though passport problem slowed you down a bit I guess... c'est la vie! Enjoy yourself wherever you are!

Strange staring people
Those people staring would have freaked me out. That was quick thinking using the little girl to get out of the situation. It sounds like Vietnam is definitely and interesting country. Now I'm looking forward to the Cambodia blogs. I really want to go to Angkor Wat. XOXOX Jay
