Striking a Pose
You name it, I'll try it Ok, readers, it's time to get a little more involved. I am giving you a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to send me on wild-goose-chases and/or have me do something just for you; and all for a very reasonable price. And you will get to read about it here.
Your Homework: Give Me Assignments
Post your assignments as comments on my blog pages. Let your imagination guide you: I've already had three requests: to get a picture of me at Dien Bien Phu, Vietnam, to get a picture of an elephant, and to shut down any child sex establishments that I see. The below are just suggestions, you can dream up whatever you want.
Is there something you think I ought to do while I'm traveling?
• Take an elephant ride?
• Learn how to make dim sum?
• Cruise the Mekong?
• Go to a full moon party? (or any festival you know of)
• Try eating deep-fried tarantula?
• Meet up with someone you know?
• Learn how to say something in the local language?
• Try the local firewater and send you a review?
• Send you a postcard from somewhere?
Is there some place in particular you think I should visit?
• Dien Bien Phu?
• Ho
Good Ole Irish
Yes, I will be happy to make a fool of myself for your pic, too Chi Minh's Mausoleum?
• A town with a funny name?
• Someplace with historical or family significance? (not just my family)
Is there a special picture you'd like to see?
• Me in front of a particular temple at Angkor Wat?
• Me in the middle of a rice paddy?
• A pic of me from somewhere you've seen in the movies?
• A remote tribeswoman?
• Wildlife?
• Mimicking some famous picture or vista?
I will do my best to complete your assignment, and provide you with some sort of proof: a photograph or video, a postcard, a ticket stub, a hospital bill, a sample when I get home, or whatever will work best.
This challenge is open to anyone who reads this, not just friends and family. I am looking for experiences, not just a lightning-fast blast from one tourist site to another.
I must add that there are no guarantees (what with weather, timing, transport, and palate).
However, if I
do accomplish the task you've set me, your fee will be one of the following (to be determined by me based on difficulty and/or distastefulness!):
• Send me a nice, long (not mass) e-mail telling me what you're up to and how
fabulous I am
• Get ten new people to read my blog
• Post or e-mail a digital picture of yourself making a funny face or doing something silly
• Send me a postcard from wherever you are at the time (to my TX address)
• Buy me a drink next time you see me
• Buy me a meal next time you see me
Fees will be collected after I have completed my assignment.

I can think of many things for you, but I think my number one would be a visit to the Nai Lert Shrine in Bangkok. Making an offering is optional.
