Thailand is fun!

Today and yesterday were epic!
Yesterday we did a boat tour of Koh Phi Phi… so much fun. Got to go snorkeling 3 times. Saw tons of cool coral and even cooler fish! Some good photos taken.
Today we rented motorbikes and toured around. We went to the Tiger cave (which has no tigers) and spent about 2.5 hours there wandering around. Saw monkeys, cool caves, 1000 year old trees, and had a cool dog tour guide. Then we went to the beach for a bit and grabbed a few photos while the sun was still up.

20 new photos in all!

Malaysia does strange things to people

Crazy country…
Yesterday, we went out for steamboats. A boiling pot of soup broth and raw meat and veggies and you cook it yourself. Fun to cook AND eat.
Well in out huge pile of meat, there was chicken, beef, prawns… the ususal.
Then there was also cuddlefish, mussels, squid, and jellyfish. Yup jellyfish. I tried all of it. Cuddlefish tastes remarkably like chicken, squid wasn’t bad as long as it wasn’t in the broth for too long. And jelly fish was interesting. As one might think… its pretty jellylike. It just fell apart when you bite into it… like really soft jell-o. Taste wasn’t awefull though. Cool experience.

Today, we did a big jungle trek. I got to see the world’s largest flower (even though it’s a fungus), swim in a waterfall pool, see where BOH tea is harversted (I even got to lie on one of the trees for a bit of relaxation time), go 4×4ing and get the crap scared out of me a few times, have a big butterfly land on me without me even noticing until someone mentioned it to me (and then the butterfly didn’t want to get off me… I think it realized that im pretty awesome and wanted to hang out for a bit), then I also played with some turtles, a cool little lizard, then I had 4 scorpions chilling on me… one on my head and 3 on my chest. I will post up a photo of this as soon as I can. I’ll probably put it up once I get to Kuala Lumpur.
Crazy day!

Finally an update worth posting!

It’s been quite a trip…

Vietnam is beautiful, things are cheap, everyone wants to rip you off, and is super fun.

Cambodia, is beatiful, cheap, fun, and will put weed in your food or drinks if you ask them to.

Laos is just like Cambodia but they will also put mushrooms or opium in if you ask.

Thailand is fun, kind of expensive, but still a blast. (Can’t wait to visit the islands)

I’ve been here for about 5 weeks and its gone by like a flash. Time flies when you’re having fun.

I’ve gone through some of my photos and picked out 12 that I liked. check ‘em out.

Here I am in Cambodia!!!

Today we saw 6 temples.  One being the Angkor Wat.  Another was where a few shots in the Tomb Raider movie were filmed.  Got lots of great pictures.  Also have an idea for a gift for you.  This one I think you’ll actually be pretty stoked on.  Still dunno what to get Holly or Grandma and Grandpa… but I have time to get it all figured out.

Cambodia is amazing.  Never thought it could be this beautiful.  Kinda of a shame we are only here for another day and a half.  Although we got to see all the big sights here… the Killing Fields, the Genocide Museum, Angkor Wat and a few other gnarly temples.
Next we’re onto Bangkok for a day or 2, then into Laos.

And just want to make sure you guys have deposited my cheque into my account.  The bank machines here all accept my card and i haven’t had to use my credit card at all, except to buy some dirt cheap tailor made clothes in Hoi An.  It was between 50 and 60 dollars.  So no other charges should be on it.

Well keep having fun over there and I’ll continue having a blast over here.

Give you another update soonish.
