| That'll teach those kids to ride their bikes at night... |
So the trip back to Bangkok from Laos a couple days ago was pretty brutal. Between the wicked hangover from a week of drunken tubing in Vang Vieng, the bus crash, the other bus breakdown, sleeping in the aisle of the 5th cramped bus for the night, and missing my flight, I was pretty beat by the time I made it here to Nepal. But! I made it, so it's all good.
I've been neglecting this poor baby for quite a while now, partially because it's hard to find wireless internet and mostly because I'm still really lazy. A real quick recap since my last update so these pictures have a bit of context I suppose... I've wandered from Airlie Beach, Australia to Cairns, to Darwin, up and around the Island of Bali, Indonesia, flew to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, bussed down to Singapore, back to Kuala Lumpur, across to Kuala Terrenganu, up to the Perhentian Islands, trained to Bangkok, Thailand, bussed to Vang Vieng, Laos, bussed back to Bangkok, then flew to Kathmandu, Nepal, where I'm sitting snug in my $4 a night bed at this very moment. The plan for the next few days is to buy some warmer clothes so I don't freeze to death on a mountainside and pick a direction. There's the Everest base camp and a few other sites to the east and the Annapurna (sp?) circuit to the west. My visa's good for 90 days, so I'm sure I won't have a problem squeezing them both in, just gotta decide which way to go.

7km ride on rocky dirt roads with shitty pink bikes to see the
amazing Blue Lagoon |

The incredibly anticlimactic false Blue Lagoon... We were
bamboozled by a fake sign someone had stuck in the road |

Relaxing day tubing down the river.
Free shots all day and buckets of liquor that I'm
pretty sure had a hint of gasoline in them |

The picture doesn't really do it justice.

Ya, and I was just kidding about running over the kids biking, it was a giant log truck.
