I have just arrived in Busan, or Pusan, depending on how you transliterate the hangul. I will be couchsurfing with a guy names Kevin tonight, I just have to find his place. I have his phone number, but have never used a phone here. It can’t be that different right?

I really like the blog, Ben. Sorry I just now got around to leaving a comment, I had lost my password. Your pictures are, as always, incredible. Are you generally posting from cyber cafés? Have you purchased an Asian SIM card yet / do you plan to? I watched Into the Wild tonight, a movie about a guy who graduates from Emory, shreds all of his ID’s and credit cards, burns his SSN card, and leaves his life behind to go to the Alaskan wilderness. You’d like it. What are the fellow English speakers like that you’ve met? Are you by far the lightest traveling, most roaming spirit?

Hey matt, I have found that there are quite a few travelers who have been out on the road for upwards of five months, and have no plans on stopping soon. While their spirit may not be more roaming than mine, their bank accounts sure allow them to be. I am, so far, the youngest traveler I have met, as well as the one with the least amount of stuff. It is weird though, because i am only using about half of my clothes now, and could proabbly dump the rest and not miss them. When I am in Thailand it may be a different story since I will be sweating much more there.
Yeah, I wanted to see that movie before I left, but didn’t want mom to see it before I took off. I read the book a while ago, and it was pretty damn good. Short, but good. It is a true story, and I guess for the movie they just filled in what they didnt know.
I will probably buy a SIM card in thailand, but I have liked not having a phone. Anyway you know of to get out of a Cingular contrat? (Living overseas…?)
Peace,
Ben

You could try just not paying your bill. I imagine they’ll cut you off after a while, and they’re going to have a tough time tracking you down when the forwarding address is “somewhere, asia”.
Otherwise, sounds like things are going well dooder – keep up the blogging.
