Comments on your travels
Hi Ben I must congratulate you on your travel blog. It is one of the best I have read. I am also addicted to travel. I have just come back from my third trip, in the last twelve months, to Thailand. I like it very much and am trying to learn Thai. Like you I have had a few adventures. I was very interested in your comments on lao and Vietnam. They do confirm what I had gathered from my reading over the last months. I am getting together a rough itinerary for my next trip and was going to include Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos. But I think I shall restrict it to Thailand, Laos and Cambodia. If you get back to Thailand you might like to have a look at Khao Sok National Park .(older than the Amazon and with, reportedly, greater bio-diversity)- stay at Art's River View lodge - recommended Also, Mae Sot, on the Burmese border with one of the worlds great road trips south (about 4-6hrs) to very rugged national Park and where some excellent trecking can be organised. All the best and I shall follow your exploits. regards from Western Australia Steve Keeling

Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday!

Impressed!
Lieber Ben, habe mir gerade einige deiner Fotoalben angeguckt - großartig!!! Da bekomme ich prompt Lust, selbst wieder loszufliegen, nur leider wird das zumindest in den nächsten paar Jahren etwas schwieriger, denn Jan und ich erwarten zu Ostern Nachwuchs. Auch recht aufregend, wenn auch auf eine andere Art... Wünsche dir / euch noch viele traumhafte und vor allem lustige und skurrile Erlebnisse und gutes, trockenes Wetter. Gruß Alrun

great post!
Hi Ben! I've been lurking here for quite some time. I got to your blog after looking for info on Myanmar. Thanks for sharing your experience there. I can't believe you're traveling some more after a year. Great that you can afford not working for so long. I'm envious haha! Can't wait to see where you're heading next. Have an awesome journey ahead!

Your good looks
When I left you you were bad not as bad though, and you forgot to mention your killer feet smell when you take off your sandles! I wonder why poor stingray stinged you :)) so all in all things are turning up all well and bright for you :) Enjoy

knapp verpasst...
Hey Ben, wann warste genau auf Ko Tao??? Waren die letzte Woche auf Ko Pagnan!! Hätten uns also fast treffen können. Mann, Mann, hätt ich das gewusst...

From Mandalay to Bagan
Sorry you had a problem with the taxi drivers. That's not my experience in Myanmar. And not the experience of other people I know that have traveled this route. Bashing the country is doing nothing for the people.

Nice trip
Hey, I'm teaching in China at the moment, I finish in January and will be travelling overland into vietnam, laos, cambodia and thailand. I came across your blog about your vietnam experience, doesn't sound all too great, any advice you can give me, especially about the border crossing, would be much appreciated. Good luck with the rest of your travels. Waseem

Wonderful experience!

look upon searching for my visa card
hel ben i have a visa card and i want to check up the money on it.

To those Chinese girls I do not know what they are looking for, I do not care about them. If ones do not respect themselves, no one respect them.

I am so proud of you that you can make to Mount Fuji eventually. I envy you!!!
