Birthday

May 23rd, 2008 - Savannakhet, Laos
It is the evening of my 25th birthday, though oddly enough in Laos time I was actually born on the 24th of May… Maybe that means I can celebrate tomorrow as well!
We took a bus across the newly built bridge from Thailand today, which means that my passport was stamped […]

Khorat

May 22nd, 2008 - Khorat, Thailand
We haven’t been up to much in Khorat. I haven’t been feeling well, and I’m also contemplating putting together a film piece in time to apply for the Vancouver film festival. For the most part I’ve been laying around in the room, checking out footage, while Evy’s been […]

Bangkok

May 15th, 2008 - Bangkok, Thailand
I’ve kind of enjoyed Bangkok, for all people complain about its dirtiness. We’re staying in an ultra-touristy backpacker section of town, but it’s conveniently located near a local Muay Thai boxing school. We went to 3 classes at the centre there, and it was awesome. I may […]

Ko Tarutao

May 11th, 2008 - Ko Tarutao, Tarutao National Park
The island of Tarutao is the island upon which they shot Survivor Thailand, and it would have been the embodiment of paradise if it hadn’t been for the weather. Monsoon season arrived early here this year. It rained and it stormed and it generally lacked […]
