Daily Schedule

THAILAND | Tuesday, 19 Jun 2007 | Views [182] | Comments [1]

So I haven’t updated my travel journal in awhile; I don’t really feel as if I am traveling at the moment but am more in the rhythm of everyday life. Sure there are some small stories here and there, but really nothing too interesting. However, I keep ... Read more >

Bun Pi Mai Lao

LAOS | Sunday, 15 Apr 2007 | Views [559] | Comments [5]

I awoke to the sound of rain, quite an intense sound of rain. In fact the skylight in my bathroom was leaking, and every time I sat on the toilet, I got rained on. I had been anticipating hot weather in Laos, and don’t really have the clothes for ... Read more >

Luang Prabang

LAOS | Thursday, 12 Apr 2007 | Views [263] | Comments [2]

I awoke at 7am almost as excited as I do Christmas morning. I could not wait to get out and see Luang Prabang by the light of day. The air was cool from the rain early that morning, and the city failed to disappoint. I wandered in and out of ... Read more >

bus to nowhere

LAOS | Wednesday, 11 Apr 2007 | Views [238]

The very familiar sound of rain on the roof was the first thing I heard when I woke up, but thought nothing of it. I had yet to really see rain since I had arrived in Thailand in January, and chocked the noise up to the wind. I went downstairs and ... Read more >

Talat Sao

LAOS | Tuesday, 10 Apr 2007 | Views [304]

I awoke early and headed towards a café near Namphu (the fountain, which I never saw on). I ran into several of the people who I had gone kayaking with a few days before. It was nice to sit with some fairly familiar faces and chat. I was envious of ... Read more >

Vientiane Sights

LAOS | Monday, 9 Apr 2007 | Views [252]

Day three started early with a quick cup of coffee before heading to the Thai consulate. I met a girl who was a Laos refugee living in Anchorage! She works at a Thai restaurant there. Conversing with her helped to quickly pass the time before the consulate ... Read more >

Laos Day Two

LAOS | Sunday, 8 Apr 2007 | Views [356]

Day off to a rough start. Yesterday I enjoyed not one, but two salads the entire time thinking about how much I missed them. At 2 A.M. I remembered why I currently avoid them, when I was rudely awaken by a gurgling stomach accompanied by sharp abdominal ... Read more >

Burma/Myanmar

MYANMAR | Saturday, 10 Mar 2007 | Views [370] | Comments [2]

Well just incase I hadn't gotten enough of bus rides after returning from Sukhothai, I booked a mini van trip to the northern border of Thailand. I needed to renew my visa, and this would allow me to walk across the border to Myanmar (Burma) and back.... Read more >

Sukhothai Continued

THAILAND | Friday, 2 Mar 2007 | Views [356] | Comments [6]

            I awoke early again, hoping to get another early start on the day. I was going to try to go see some ruins that were more out of the way and less visited than the first, but it was going to take some time to get there. Once I was up, ... Read more >

Sukhothai

THAILAND | Thursday, 1 Mar 2007 | Views [271]

           I was desperate to see more of Thailand, and with the date of when I actually am suppose to start teaching quickly rushing upon me, I saw a window and I took it. I had a few days until I was suppose to move into my new place, so I packed ... Read more >

THAILAND | Wednesday, 14 Feb 2007 | Views [275] | Comments [1]

Ah. A week has gone by since I finished my course. I wish that I had tales of elephants, villages, jungle or even rafting to share; but alas I don’t.   Last Wednesday I finished my TESOL certification course. It was such a relief to finish the course, ... Read more >

Flower Festival and other weekend adventures

THAILAND | Monday, 5 Feb 2007 | Views [1610]

Last weekend was the Flower Festival. Complete with a parade, beautiful floats covered in plant material, food, music, flowers on display, dancing. I hear there may have been an international beauty pageant, but I missed out on that. My favorite part ... Read more >

           This is my favorite kind of weekend, a three day weekend! Yeah! We had Friday off from school this week. While I have plenty of homework to do and a lesson plan to finish developing, I made sure to schedule some fun activities in my free ... Read more >

elephants in the city

THAILAND | Monday, 22 Jan 2007 | Views [668]

Today on my way home from school, I stopped at one of the street vendors to get something to eat for dinner. Trying to balance the bag of food, my change, my wallet, and not getting hit by a motorbike I turned around and was faced with the most unexpected ... Read more >
