CAMBODIA | Wednesday, 8 Sep 2010 | Views [362]
Cambodia was a mix of stunning beauty, a gruesome past, horrible poverty, beggars, trash and vast affluent kingdoms. I only spent four days in the country, spread out between the cities of Phnom Penh and Siem Reap. Phnom Penh is home to S-21 (Tuol ... Read more >

Dalat, Vietnam Really just the British word for what Americans call rappelling, I did a lot of this today. I went on a canyoning tour. Basically it is a hike along a river, where the cliffs make equipment-less travel impossible. So with two guides and ... Read more >

AMAZING day (they are all good, but this stands out): 28th August I booked an all day island tour and boat cruise out of Nha Trang. You could not beat the price and lunch and at least some beverage during the 'floating bar - happy hour' claimed to be ... Read more >
VIETNAM | Friday, 27 Aug 2010 | Views [408]
First off, the War Remnants museum in Saigon tore me apart. I was nauseous looking at the pictures and reading some of the terrible acts of war. Saigon / Ho Chi Minh City was a riot. There are motorbikes everywhere and I am pretty sure I have seen ... Read more >

The rules of the road, as far as I can tell: 1. The bigger you are, the more entitled you are to do whatever the hell you want. Ie a bus could pull a U-turn across five lanes of traffic. Too bad everyone else, you are smaller than the bus. Hiracrhy ... Read more >
MALAYSIA | Thursday, 19 Aug 2010 | Views [297]
It has been a full month now since leaving San Francisco. I spent the last two nights on Pulau Tioman off the south east coast of peninsular Malaysia. All I have to say are remote beaches on a jungle island are awesome. Seriously the island could have ... Read more >

I am now 4 countries into the trip with 4 more to go, I guess that is half way. A full month will have gone by as of tomorrow; so in time it is only just over a third. This was my first bus border crossing. What a cattle herd and stampede. The bus drops ... Read more >
SINGAPORE | Saturday, 14 Aug 2010 | Views [246]
14th August - Singapore Hostel reservations, who needs them, find a place to stay as you go. I'm just one traveler, every place has at least one bed open in a dorm room, right? Well, apparently not in Singapore when you do not start looking until almost ... Read more >

13 August - Yes, Friday the 13th I made it out of Sydney and up to the Blue Mountains, despite a late start because of a lot of wine while talking with a few Irish the night before. Worst case, it was going to be a nice train ride and a peaceful day ... Read more >

NEW ZEALAND | Thursday, 5 Aug 2010 | Views [338] | Comments [2]
Today I ponyed up and bought a bus ticket. I only have five days left on NZ and still want to see so much more. Hitch hiking has worked so well, but now I just want to go too far a distance in too little a time to rely on my thumb in the air (a sign ... Read more >
