First Blog

So instead of throwing my entire Southeast Asia experience at everyone all at once, I think this would work out better. At least, if anyone gets bored, it's not because I was rambling everything in one sitting, but because the stories generally have nothing interesting in them.

But every attempt I've made at journaling stuff, e-journaling stuff (i suppose that's a blog), or just keeping records have failed, so we'll see if this even gets to Asia or not.

So far, this is the basic plan ....

4/26 - Taiwan

• Toilet restaurant
• Hang out with Sheng, Chaue, and Josie
• Eat stinky tofu, toasted baos, boba, shaved ice, dumplings

5/1 - Malaysia

• Scuba Diving license - Yesssssss!
• Petronas Towers - Used to be the world's tallest
• Little India and Chinatown in Kuala Lumpur
• Fireflies - Thousands of them
• Batu Caves - Only one of them

5/11 - Indonesia

• Borobodur - largest Buddhist stupa in the world (What's a Stupa?)
• Madakanpura Waterfalls - some 10km hike in a park
• Gunung Bromo - big volcano with a nice sunrise view

5/17 - Cambodia

• Killing Fields - also a crazy movie
• Angkor Wat - ancient ruins
• Donate blood - maybe

5/23 - Thailand

• Nothing planned yet, but probably some more scuba diving, elephants, and rioting with the red shirts

5/31 - Japan

• Come back home
