I woke up this morning at 6:30 am for some reason and could not fall back asleep. That being the case, I got out my Bill Bryson book and read for a while, before going down to the café at the bottom of the guesthouse and ordering breakfast. Cambodia is not as cheap as Laos, [...]

A lot has happened in the past day, and I will just quickly give you a rundown as I am trying to get this done before I take a moto-taxi around Phnom Penh for the day. I am going to see the Killing Fields, and S-21, along with some museums. So… I left my guesthouse [...]

Simple, I have been sitting around, waiting for my small digital camera to be fixed… but they can’t fix it, so I am just going to have to keep using the big dSLR for everything and look like a tourist. Oh well. I head to Cambodia tomorrow. First, Phnom Phen, then to the temples of [...]

So many people I talk with when I am traveling have similar ideas about life. Most are taking a break from something, or have one month off and decided to see the world in a whirlwind of travel. When I spend time with Couchsurfers here in Bangkok, I am presented with a completely different mind [...]

Today was busy as hell. I got a hair cut, a shave, picked up my suits (which look really, really good, and I feel sorry for anyone who stands next to me when I wear them) and mailed a bunch of stuff home. I mailed four boxes out, one with my suits and my climbing [...]

Kevin Kelly, the Editor-At-Large of Wired magazine, posted a list of intriguing questions a while ago on his blog and I stumbled across it recently again. Since I have been traveling, I have become more in tune with where exactly I am at any given moment because that knowledge becomes helpful when you are in [...]

What a stressful day. We had a big night last night, so I got a later start than I would have liked. I made it to the Chinese embassy, which was an hour away, at noon to find out that it closed at 11:30 am. There was a posted sign saying that as of four [...]

So I am in Bangkok for a few days because the visas will take a while. India is a seven day visa process, and China is four. I may wait on India, because I don’t want to stay here that long. Today I have to pick up my suits and mail them home. Should be [...]
