I feel like I am there! Love the pictures, but love the videos even more. That zipline video was awesome. I feel like I was the one riding it. Sa-weet deal-e-o!.
WTF are you eating? WTF is that scorpion kinda thing you're eating dude? Ewwwie! Lol.. At least they put a garnishment huh... hehehe. Your pictures of the cave remind me so much of the "Tomb Raider" game I used to play... only there I was watching a smoking hot cartoon character and now, well.. I'm watching you... heheh. Glad to hear you're having fun. Final day of Tax season and we're actually done everything, so cooling down.. but what a busy few weeks.... Gotta catch up on all your blogs now. 25 unread messages to go!
are you alive? best entry so far!!!... (minus the muscle ref *again*) - the kids are adorable, i think this is where angelina just couldn't resist and had to adopt Maddox - the pictures are great, the shooting range great, the story about the former soldier removing the mines, incredible - but best was the horseback riding story, you sound like a knight galloping into the far distance (holding in laughter)... jk.
Like the movies That video clip of you going by with the kids waving at you is just like in the movies. What an awesome experience you must be having. Thanks for all of these updates. It's provided me with evening entertainment.
Thunder Ranch Dave, did you save your target from Thunder Ranch? Let's compare when you get back :P
If you think the people in Cambodia are friendly and laid back (and they are), just wait till you get to Laos!
Ram Muay I wasn't that impressed with the Ram Muay...they did that before each fight and pretty much did the same thing. It was ok, but wasn't worthy of video taping or taking a pic of.
Just went on the 31st to watch some Muay Thai fights nothing like those authentic!! I would have loved to see the Ram Muay** there!!!
**Ram Muay is the way to show respect to the teachers and the trainers. The fighter first performs the Wai Khru, circling the ring three times before kneeling and bowing three times as a sign of respect to god and man. He also bows to Buddha to ask for protection for himself and his opponent and for an honourable fight.
The fighter then performs the Ram Muay/Wai Khru, whose simple movements demonstrate a fighter's control and style. Each fighter performs the Ram Muay on each side of the ring to demonstrate his prowess to the audience. The Ram Muay is a personal ritual, ranging from the very complex to the very simple, and often contains clues about who trained the fighter and where the fighter is from.
Quick Update I'm on Ko Pha Ngan with Graeme from NYC and the internet cafe here doesn't have a card reader so I'll but up a new post in a couple of days when we travel over to Ko Phi Phi...my tan is finally starting to set in and finally relaxing! :)
Hey guys! Hey Bob, I didn't take a pic some my performance was so pitiful, barely lasted a whole training session, but when I'm up in Chiang Mai in a about a week or so I'm going to go again for a couple of days hopefully so I'll take a pic at the Mauy Thai camp there.
