So we were supposed to fly out to Jakarta the other day.  Although, I still find myself typing this from a Bangkok internet cafe.  So far, I have spent almost 2 weeks in this damn city.  I’m sick of it!

Indonesia fell through when we heard from some friends that had friends there that it seemed really sketchy in places and they heard some rumors of bombings happening.  I havent heard of anything like this happening, but they may just be smaller ones.  In any case, we were flying into Jakarta and thats a place that no one says is beautiful, or safe.  We decided it’d be best not to go.

Instead, we’ve been wasting time in Bangkok.  Got visas to Myanmar and are heading there in the morning.  It should be interesting.  Strict military rigime who loves censorship.  I read that I might have to give the government my camera to hold while I am in their country.  They don’t like photographers or jouralists visiting them and showing the world how corrupt the country is.  They also don’t have ATMs, as most are tied back to American credit unions, and apparently they hate The States.  Lots of .com sites are blocked, as well.  It’s gonna be weird going from the openness of Thailand to the restrictions there.

It should be pretty cool to see, though.
