JoLyn and I left Cambodia to return to Bangkok after quite a nice stay. I don’t have any other captivating stories to tell but we had a great time exploring the city on foot. It’s crazy to think that the same streets we walked have been home to violent protests in the [...]
I can’t emphasize enough how beautiful the Angkor Wat ruins are. It’s a whole different experience from walking around the Coliseum or any European ruin. The Khmers are trying to find a balance between restoration and keeping the temples in their current state. I think I like what they’re doing. While rebuilding some areas, the [...]
[I you don't want to read all this, don't leave. There's photos of monkeys at the bottom.]
Flying into Cambodia from Thailand is reserved for the rich and the ignorant. A ticket can cost upwards of $250 one way. We had been paying approximately $45 to travel elsewhere by plane and $250 wasn’t in our budgets. [...]
JoLyn and I flew from Chiang Mai to Phuket to get some requisite beach time. The islands in southern Thailand have some of the most breathtaking views I have ever seen. White sand. Blue water. Sheer rock cliffs covered in foliage. It’s beautiful and hot. Even the water is unnaturally warm. So warm that you [...]
I’ve been away from my computer for awhile, hence the lack of posts. I plan on getting these up a lot faster now. Here are the last of the photos taken in Chiang Mai. Next up is Phuket and Koh Phi Phi: home of some seriously amazing beaches.
I like this song. Elizabeth and the Catapult [...]
I departed Bangkok and headed north for the real purpose of my trip: to see my girlfriend, JoLyn. [sorry, Jon] She’s been teaching English in China and we hadn’t seen each other since August. I met her in Chiang Mai and we immediately set out on what was to become a surprisingly arduous three day [...]
Upon return from Ko Samet, Jon had to work so I had two days to explore the streets of Bangkok. I felt I was able to get a good feel for the city just wandering around by foot, skytrain, or water taxi. The city is a sprawling mess of organized chaos. You could be walking [...]
Ok, I’ve been home for two weeks now so I suppose there’s no excuse for the delay in these photos. But hey, I’m moving to Philadelphia. I’ve been busy.
These shots are from the first leg of my trip. I flew into Bangkok to meet my friend Jon and we immediately left for Koh Samet. Samet [...]
Unfortunately, there won’t be photos or much content at all up on this blog for awhile. I decided to shed a good deal of weight from my pack in Bangkok. With my laptop being the main culprit, I left it with Jon. The pack was just too heavy to be mobile.
That said, I’m alive, well, [...]
Well, this would be the first real blog post on my fancy new website. Before I recommence, I need to thank Burke Shartsis for designing this awesome site. If you have web design needs, certainly shoot him an email.
If you are unaware, I’m leaving for Thailand in the morning. I started packing today. That was [...]
