... was nothing in english so it was just a blind roullete game as i pointed at something in thai (this was when im wasnt with me). her family are corn farmers so i was spared the visit to the rice paddies and instead got to hang out in the corn fields which being from illinois really made me more comfortable. all in all i got the feeling that the parents didnt exactly love the idea of their daughter dating me and when i asked ...

... cheap bars anywhere, but this is my strip, and I walk it, quite drunk, like a pimp hustling his streets and avenues. But all the bars seem to be full of bald fat white men, playing pool, with girls too young for them, or girls too old to be doing this anymore, playing poor music, like they always do. Its not even 9pm yet, and I'm looking for something a little less oppressive for my night time operations. The Peck Bar it is then...... Its round the corner from the main ...

... in case a sudden jazz oddity takes its free form grip on my finger shapes. 12 quid all in. Knew it was a good decision when I caught the eye of a sort at the bus station the next morning, she eyed my talent up and down as I played to the amusement and watching ears of the waiting throng. Hit Nong Khai for my remaining time in Thailand, this is the most popular crossing into Laos. I have sort of felt like my Thai time, my Thaime, has been very different to India. I ...

Gooooood Morning Mekong River! Early morning sipping my espresso from my bungalow porch, the view extending across the expansive Mekong River and further pass, the country of Laos. Makes the two day bus journey to get here all worthwhile. The journey was pleasant if not inspiring. Even Tropical can wither during the January/February winter months. Throughout Thailand, bleak autumnal colors embody the dry, scrubby landscape while the sky is encased ...

In case it isn't apparent, I have definitely fallen victim to Nong Kai's way of life. Why do today what you can put off till tomorrow? I've been here for two weeks and this is the first time I've gotten around to writing an update. Nong Kai is a small city in Thailand that borders Laos. It's the site of the Friendship Bridge, one of the few bridges that cross the Mekong River, where you can easy take a weekend trip into Laos' capital of Vientiane (I haven't yet). It ...

Ehjin nahoin selvittiin joen ylityksesta. bussi tanne olis Vientianesta maksanu 5 euroo per paa. Tuk tukilla paastiin tinkaamatta 6 euroo koko poppoo. Rajan ylitys oli helpoin mita ikina. Pelkka passien tarkastus oikeestaan. Sillan yli piti tulla bussilla, kavellen ei paassy. Oli hienoinen yllatys kun liikenne vaihtui vasemmanpuoleiseks. Ei kukaan ollu semmosesta puhunu. Thaimaan puolella rajaa oli ...

After landing in Bangkok we succeeded in foiling the taxi mafia and took the cheap & comfortable airport bus to the train station. An interesing ride seen the sun set on such a large and diverse city. After securing our over-night cabin to Nong Khai, we set about killing a few cold brewskies and enjoying some wonderful Thai food, yum. 

... It was high-pitched squeaking noises and I was not very happy about it. Then that night as we were falling asleep there were chewing scratching noises coming from some where really close to the bed and I started freaking out a little bit. I did not want a rat in the bed! We spent several minutes listening to the noise and trying to figure out where it was coming from and I finally realized it was a rat alright, a big one named ADAM. I must admit he got me good.
