Oh Wow, Oh Laos

August 4, 2008

The “s” is silent and thats why the title of this post is clever..got it….good.
We have been having a blast in Laos. It is by far my favorite country so far ( better than Thailand). Everyone here says the same thing. It is a pain in the ass to get around and the tourist infrastructure [...]

24 hours of Travel: No Thanks

August 1, 2008

Well we’ve made it to Luang Prabamg, Laos. A memorable trip to say the least. We started our 24 hour adventure at 5am in Chiang Rai, taking a local bus to the Lao/Thai Boarder in Chiang Kong. It was a great ride with only a handful of locals and Sander and I enjoying the amazing Norther [...]

Dangers of Learning to Motor Bike in Thailand

July 28, 2008

Smart or not, we braved the insanity of Chiang Mai’s streets and rented motor bikes. They were tiny 100cc Honda Dreams, 4 speed automatics. They were also the only thing we had to keep us alive as the insanity of Thai Driving unfolded around us.
After visiting Mr. Mechanic, renting the bikes and somehow navigating the [...]

Kho Samet’s ocean

July 28, 2008

I silently sit enchanted,
as the warm breeze cries.
A distant flicker sparkles,
across my eyes.
Across its glass like skin,
a golden inferno burns.
Anger withing its belly,
and throughout it always churns.
An unsuspecting ripple,
like lightning through its waves,
crashing upon pale sands,
until the end of days.
A couple bobs around,
together embrace,
as the emerald waters,
bring joy to their face.
From a shifting horizon,
Its waves [...]

Pointing, Laughing and Yellow Pants

July 27, 2008

Sometimes I wonder about Sander. One thing I don’t question is his amazing sense of fashion. That’s why I was curious why people (Thai and Farang) were staring, pointing, laughing and sneering on a recent walk we took.
Our new local Tailor friends (friends now that they have stopped bugging us to buy from them) commented, [...]

Nightmare #2, “Oh, excuse me Jess, mind if I sit on this toilet?”

July 27, 2008

It all began with what Jess and I believed to be the most amazing beach barbecue EVER, and ended in a puke/pooh fest or pookfest(SR) nightmare.
I woke up feeling kind of odd, quickly turning over to the left to see if Jess was still beside me in bed, which was and always has been the [...]

The Anatomy of a Bangkok Scam

July 26, 2008

Everywhere you look someone is trying to scam you. Our lightly sun kissed faces must call out to these “entrepreneurs”, most walks about the city involve one attempt or another to take our money.
One such incident was so well played that we didn’t even catch on until an hour into the ploy. Just remember the [...]

Last Videos from Ko Samet

July 25, 2008

Our time on Ko Samet in South East Thailand was a great one, even with the sickness. I can say that looking back but wouldn’t really want to go through it again. Anyways, we have a bunch of videos that still need to be uploaded but I managed to get the last two island videos [...]

Nightmares come in 2’s, with a few days in between!

July 23, 2008

Boom-boom, ping pong show, lots of ladies for you, cheap-cheap, ruthless cabbies yelling and chasing after you, and a nauseating smell comparable to nothing else, are all things I recommend you experience on your first night in Thailand.
After a rather painful, non drug induced 15 hour flight, inflicting overwhelming jet lag, the last thing you [...]
