back in bangkok

26-Dec-06

and this computer’s shift key is not working well. found my couch host, all is well, feeling a little feverish but until i notice any other symptoms will blame it on bkk still being really, really hot and poor hydration patterns resulting from my epic trips and scary toilets lately. chiang kong was really nice, […]

Enough of Cambodia

18-Dec-06

I enjoyed paying just $4 for my bus ticket out of Cambodia, but did not enjoy the spine-cracking dust-filled journey as much. I’m still digging mud out of my nose every once in a while. I took a bus from Aranyaprathet to some random city (as yet unidentified) to Nong Khai, where my travel day […]

But hey, […]
