First time I came to Thailand, I was put in such a crazy, uncomfortable position. Seeing green rivers covered in days/weeks/months old trash, the way people were looking at me (which ended up being a huge foreshadow of things to come); nevertheless, I saw the ultra-gorgeous, lush green vegetation towering over turquoise waters down below....

So, this is an episode on how to increase your conversation capabilities. Most of you don't know how to converse, initiate, or to just be someone's friend. I've become a master at it, and this is how I'm going to show you how you can get better. Again, this is with no pun intended. This... Continue Reading →
So, I'm standing in this long immigration line and I couldn't help but look and see who was around me. Smokers from Russia over my left shoulder, smoking where everyone was standing; backpackers who had red eyes a couple of people in front of me who had slow reactions to everything, druggies sitting on the...

YEAH! Here we go! As I normally do, I document this experience from the moment I leave my place until I get to my hotel and settle down. Of course there will be photos and YouTube videos coming soon, but let's see what we have going on right now. Because I have everything sorted out... Continue Reading →

However, this one coming... Continue Reading →

So, in the morning, it continued. That's right...from the hotel staff saying,... Continue Reading →
Air Asia flight bound for Wattay International Airport in Vientiane. Hmmm, I'll just let the nostalgia sit in for a bit. Just 3 years ago, I was scampering across the streets of Vientiane with a Frenchman who couldn't handle his alcohol, got snubbed by some tuk-tuk drivers (just like Thailand), and ended up walking home...

Oh-EMMMM-GEEEE! Clowns, angry women on their phones, changing of rules, hair-flipping...I'm over it. Yes, I'm talking about the same thing I've always battled with immigration here in Thailand. However, let us be grateful today. I'm so unbelievably grateful because that's the last time I will ever have to take that bus, the moped taxi, and... Continue Reading →
