Phnom Penh and the Killing fields

I woke up this morning at 6:30 am for some reason and could not fall back asleep. That being the case, I got out my Bill Bryson book and read for a while, before going down to the café at the bottom of the guesthouse and ordering breakfast. Cambodia is not as cheap as Laos,… Read the rest »

Cambodian Sunset

A lot has happened in the past day, and I will just quickly give you a rundown as I am trying to get this done before I take a moto-taxi around Phnom Penh for the day. I am going to see the Killing Fields, and S-21, along with some museums. So… I left my guesthouse… Read the rest »

When I spend time with Couchsurfers here in Bangkok, I am presented with a completely different mind… Read the rest »

Busy day

Today was busy as hell. I got a hair cut, a shave, picked up my suits (which look really, really good, and I feel sorry for anyone who stands next to me when I wear them) and mailed a bunch of stuff home. I mailed four boxes out, one with my suits and my climbing… Read the rest »

Do you know where you live?

Kevin Kelly, the Editor-At-Large of Wired magazine, posted a list of intriguing questions a while ago on his blog and I stumbled across it recently again.
