Currently reading: Burmese Days by George Orwell I took my daily morning walk alone through the neighborhood. This time in search of an internet cafe. Found the one they recommended but it was down, so I sat in front listening to my ipod and burmese people-watched. Chad rented a bike for the day $1 and …
Arrived at bus stop at 4 am in Inle Lake. The bus eventually filled up with locals so it became tedious but thankfully I got some rest. The bus driver got a taxi for us, a pickup truck with a tarp over it.. it’s a common form of transportation here, as you’ll usually see a …
1000 kyat (burmese money), pronounced Chat = 1$ ———————————- 2nd morning in Yangon, woke up around 5 am. It’s the jetlag, but I love it, because I’m up at the crack of dawn and am ready for bed by 9 pm (never would happen back at home.. its more vice versa). I took a walk …
Setting: Pouring rain outside, windows cracked a bit open. Listening to Oasis on my Ipod. Laying on my beaten bed in a family owned Guesthouse in Burma. What is it about this moment in time in a foreign country rarely anyone knows much about, that makes me feel so at Ease with my Mind & …

We walk outside, after 10 minutes of silence and regrets, we got back up and revised our plan: Options: -Wait til tomorrow for another flight? (there’s only one a …
“Curiousity Killed the Cat” Bangkok Nightlife is gross. Very gross. At least the touristy parts. I could have told you that the first time I stepped foot in the city. Besides the middle aged lone white males that wander the streets, I’m just not a fan of visiting big cities while abroad. But I thought …

Currency: 1$ = 32 Thai Baht We arrived last night at 11:30 pm in the Bangkok Airport. Like everything else, the Yin & Yang, Light & Dark, I believe that the suffering equivilant of traveling is the flight itself. The farther you go, the longer the flight. The more remote you go, the more …
Teresa Teng “The Moon Represents my Heart” This is the music that played on cassette tapes growing up. These were the Classic chinese melodies overheard at my Parent’s & Grandparent’s parties.
