Stumbling Along After a few years or travelling and then a couple years of settling down in Sweden, I'm back on the road. 7 mths or maybe forever, in South Africa, the Seychelles, India, Nepal, SE Asia...

One man's heaven is another man's hell

THAILAND | Wednesday, 28 Nov 2007 | Views [1418]

I realized tonight that I hate the world. That may seem dramatic, but it's true. Okay,I  don't so much hate the world as the people in it. Especially those in   Ao Ton Sai in Koh Phi Phi(not to be confused with Krabi's Ton Sai in which i adore not only ... Read more >

Full Moon Partyin'

THAILAND | Monday, 26 Nov 2007 | Views [631] | Comments [1]

Well I survived the Full Moon Party, but just barely. I wish I would have gone somewhere else to see the Loy Krathong Festival (festival where they float lights down the rivers in little lotus leaves). I think that would have been more my style. But ... Read more >

Rough Times

THAILAND | Thursday, 22 Nov 2007 | Views [410]

Ugh ugh ugh...it has been a long day (and a half). My last night in Ton Sai was nice, a fireshow and a couple of beers on the beach. Then some relaxing in the sun and at 2:00, we caught a longboat to AoNang. The min-bus picked us up at 3:00 as promised.... Read more >

Sleeping in the Jungle

THAILAND | Wednesday, 7 Nov 2007 | Views [1833]

After the first 30 minutes of climbing up a 57 degree incline, you truly do think you are going to die. I kept thinking to myself there was no way that I can do 2.5 more hours of this, it has to level off soon. Sure enough, the land did level a bit and ... Read more >

Monks are travellers too

THAILAND | Sunday, 4 Nov 2007 | Views [505] | Comments [1]

Known for their quiet and calm nature, the  monks are one of the huge draws of Thailand. As a westerner, more specifically an American, the only contact I have had with monks is to pass them (seeing only a orange blur) while I am power walking around ... Read more >

Day 3:Bangkok, It's a small, small world

THAILAND | Saturday, 3 Nov 2007 | Views [497]

Today started out good and ended up great. I was a little nervous whether the trip I had bought from a dodgy little travel center was bogus or not, but at about 7:10, a person approached me and asked if I was heading to Ayuthaya. I was really relieved, ... Read more >

I ahd a rough sleep last night. it wasn't the sounds from outside, but rather to my neighbours coughing fit (I'm no doc, but I'm pretty sure he had TB). I am actually glad I chose to stay at Khoa San Road. There are a lot of backpackers, but that makes ... Read more >
