yes. you HAVE been slacking but i guess actually having a blog is far better than my sad attempts to keep in touch. by mid-next week you will have a floor to crash on just a touch further south of your current local. drink an ass-load of whiskey and pass out for a day or two. that usually cures my colds. more emphasis on the sleep, though. i heard that giving someone the bird in laos is complimentary! . . .
Fantastic trip Alex - Kudos I am amazed at what the two of you are doing. What a fantastic experience! Your blogs are very fun and exciting to read, thank you for sharing.

Street shopping Greetings Alex. Hi Julija--I'm a long-time friend of Alex' dad and a traveler of sorts--reading your blog makes me want to hit the road again! Usually I hate shopping, including those state-sponsored tourist stores with their fancy prices. But I LOVE haggling with street merchants, be it Andean, Moroccan, Chinese, Tibetanit’s a global thing. And, when the next merchants almost rip your arm off, saying they’ll match the purchase you just made, after you talked the price down from $5 to $2, you know that there was some profit in it for your seller, despite your steely negotiating!
Keep the reports coming. You both write well.
Thanks for the information Thanks for the excellent information and in general the details on the "excursions" you've had. I got a heck of a laugh regarding that rooster and how pissed you must have been. It's good you didn't kill it - could have been a voodoo bird, ya never know. Also it looks like Julija is real good at getting the prices down. I'm glad you made it down the mountain since I expect the roads were mud. Love you both. Roger
Post That Shit sounds killer, you globe-trotting hooligans . . . but you really should learn how to make the comment thing work, 'cause i know there are at least a handful of people who have also been commenting on your sideways adventures, and i wanna seem 'em!!! i'm out of this god-fore-saken "states" place in less than a week and a half, and i'd love to hear other's input and put in thier own two cents . . . or pence . . . whatever. sounds like you're saving your shillings for buying shit in aussieland, so get off the net and start saving some pennies . . . or pence . . . whatever. hope all's well, kids!! take care!
you know he ain't gonna diieee!! Your rooster made me think of the Alice in Chains song "yeeeaa, here come the roosters, oh yea! You know he ain't gonna die...."
aahhahahhahahahaha.

wa wa wee waa! your adventures are getting more and more adventurous! I can't wait to see some more pictures! You might be having really cool adventures, but I am having really good Mexican food! hahahaha Miss you guys bunches - and stay away from southern Thailand, I hear it is dangerous!
Typical Tourist? So . . . do you have to pay to goose the tiger with a head like a watermelon, or did you sneak down into the pit and pull his tail?
Chains, fur, and phallic temples . . . am I seeing a pattern here?
two great people Alex and Yulija,
I love every thing you write about. You are my great son and Julija is like a daughter. Please make sure you keep Molly advised. She loves you guys.
Thanks. I will send this on to others.
Love you both, Roger

Love you both,

My name is Alex and I've grown tired of cleaning up hazardous materials spills in Washington.... I need to see something more inspiring, so I've decided to head off to Thailand with my girlfriend. We're leaving in January and going through Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, and Malaysia; then onward to Australia and New Zealand. This should be interesting... ... full info
