Happy New Year!!
Thanks for the lovely land snail image Jess. I got down on all fours to photograph one at the Univ of Sydney campus and a security guy came by and thought I was a little daft (something to tell his mates about). I hope your ankle is feeling better as there will likely be lots to explore in Singapore. Hope you have a great time on New Year's Eve. I'm hoping to be able to see the Sydney fireworks from Sancta Sophia as its on quite a promintory - probably a long shot. Best wishes, Mom

Lovely flowers
Thanks for the pictures and thinking of me

Just for the record - I have never considered said milk challenge (or well, watching jackass) - sounds gross. Have a merry christmas!

I'll be home for Christmas
Its no coincidence that "I'll be home for Christmas" is such a popular song. When I was in Michigan in 1981, we were all going to be in Creston for Christmas -- including Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle Dave and Aunt Sherri. I drove from Houghton to Duluth, MN. Took a bus to Thunder Bay. Train to Vancouver. Bus and ferry to Victoria. 2 days later I got a ride with friends to Spokane with the intention to take the bus to Creston. However, there was a blizzard raging and we got there 2 hours late. They were going to NY so I started to hitchhike north at 3PM, in a blizzard, on Christmas eve. The first 2 rides to Sandpoint were fine but the next guy had a case of beer on the seat (half empty) and dropped me at his turn in the middle of nowhere in the dark. After an hour without anyone even slowing down, I started to walk up a long, long hill the 10 mi to Bonner's Ferry with my suitcase. No backpack, this was supposed to be an urban holiday. On the corner of a sharp curve, the bus roared past without stopping. If I'd realised I'd passed it I would have just waited. However, a guy from Bonners who'd passed by twice turned around and came to pick me up. He was renovating a store in town and had to keep running home for tools. I warmed up in his gift store by sweeping up some sawdust for him and then headed back to the highway. I was very close to Creston but by now its late on Christmas eve and there is no traffic going north to Canada. Finally, common sense struck and I walked back into town and called my sister in Creston. It was only a 20 minute drive and the border guard stayed a few minutes late so we could return to Canada after midnight. I made it "home" for Christmas but just barely.

Great blog !!!

I get the chair
Ha. Put a leash on my brother. Though tell him that if he dies, i get the office chair in his room, which i have in fact been co-opting since he's been gone.

long time no talk
wow jess. how i envy you as i sit on a computer in the library studying for my enevitable onslaught of exams... i just read through a couple of your blogs...wow. sounds like you are having a ridiculously fun time. laos sounds fun! you should check out the golden triangle if you get the chance. i went there in grade 10, its where thailand, burma, and laos meet, its pretty cool, you can see all three borders, and there are crazy army men all over the place. its the hotspot for the opium trade there. they even have this cool opium museum with creepy wax figures smoking opium... imagine a group of 15 year olds checking that out... anyways, i dont even have to wish you a good rest of your trip because i am positive that it will be amazing. wow. the vast contrast in our lives right now is still kinda sinking in... must get back to studying... see ya, robin

Wish I was there
>We'll be trekking through the jungle on a combination >of jeep, foot, elephant, and bamboo river raft Now that's my kind of trip. Take lots of pics - especially of the hill tribespeople. There are a lot of Tibet influences there. You guys are having an amazing time.

Thailand
You sounds like you have a lot of fun in Thailand. Are planning to visit the other part of Asia too?
