Good Bye World...

Fly to Hawaii in the morning.  Quick goodbye to the rest of the world.  Borneo was fantastic.  Sad to leave.  Will write more/post photos and videos when I'm settled on the islands.  Until then...


Borneo

" If you've spent years dreaming of Borneo, of longboat trips down murky rivers, of jungle trails green in tooth and claw, of smoky longhouses and drunken dances, of strange creatures and hidden caverns, of blowpipes and head hunters, rest ... Read more >

Malaysia is truly...modern...

MALAYSIA | Monday, 3 Aug 2009 | Views [104] | Comments [2]

...and I'm having a hard time adjusting.  Been in Kuala Lumpur for a few days, been completely overwhelmed with the modernity and consumerism and traffic, it feels like an Asian NYC.  I actually wrote a really whiney, stream of conciousness blog entry ... Read more >

Another video

NEPAL | Tuesday, 28 Jul 2009 | Views [177] | Video

This is what happens in Nepal and India:  tourists are constantly accosted by holy men (or sometimes fake holy men in real holy men costumes.)  Who then proceed to face paint you and ask for money.  Ah, the way to spiritual enlightenment...


Hmm...maybe India WAS incredible...

SOUTH AFRICA | Tuesday, 2 Jun 2009 | Views [151] | Comments [6]

We've been having an amazing time in Kathmandu, visited our friend's family's villages, visited some amazing temples and monasteries, and just over all have really been enjoying ourselves and meeting really great people.  We've stayed a bit longer than ... Read more >

NEPAL | Tuesday, 26 May 2009 | Views [149] | Comments [2]

Lovely Kathmandu, Nepal.  Sorry I never wrote a final 'Goodbye, India...for now' entry, but Delhi belly hit again, this time actually in Delhi, and I pretty much spent the last 2 days lying on a bed in a hotel room.  No vomiting this time, though, so ... Read more >

Varanasty and Agra

INDIA | Monday, 18 May 2009 | Views [144] | Comments [4]

Oops, I mean Varanasi and Agra.  Haha, just a little running joke, due to the uncleanliness of India's holiest city.  Despite the dirtiness, Varanasi was really really cool, we stayed in Old Town at a guesthouse hidden within the maze-like alleys, ... Read more >

INDIA | Monday, 6 Apr 2009 | Views [156] | Comments [5]

...I got sick.  Delhi belly.  Food poisoning.  Traveler's diarrhea.  Call it what you will, all I know is, it sucks.  It  especially sucked when it started during our overnight 10 hour train ride from Mumbai south to Goa.  What a delightful experience, ... Read more >
