• Day 20: Adventures with GPS and Penang’s ever changing one-way streets

    I slept late, yet again, but this time it wasn’t because of Voice. Ferdz told me that I’m using up a lot of CPU resources for the site so I upgraded Justwandering to WordPress 2.8. I also upgraded the plugins, but in the middle of it all, one of the plugins borked my site. I…

  • Day 19: Finally stepping foot in Penang

    Shortly after writing day 18’s entry, I shut down my laptop and settled down to read. I bought L’femme Adventure by Jessica Maxwell, a travel book that has been in my book case for nearly a year, but never gotten around to reading it. I figured now’s a great time to read about the adventures…

  • Day 18: Getting out of Thailand

    I am writing this from within my sleeping berth inside train 35 — the international express train from Bangkok to Butterworth. We pulled out of Bangkok just a couple of minutes past 2:45pm, its scheduled departure time. Estimated time of arrival is 12:55pm, Malaysian time. My THB 135 meal at MBK Food Court

  • Day 17: Getting too comfortable in Bangkok

    Bangkok is starting to become all too familiar now, and I can tell because aside from memorizing the BTS stations (and the train announcement spiel for each station), I’m not taking as much picture as I used to.

  • Day 16: Malling in Bangkok

    I slept late again, but luckily, this time I woke up late. I got up at 10am, and hurried to get ready to go out. I left the hostel past 11:30, and was at MBK yet again for brunch at 12 noon. Yes, I know, MBK again. But the food center is really nice, and…

  • Day 15: Eating like a local in Bangkok

    It was yet another night of battling with sleep. It was weird having a hard time falling as sleep, since my bed was so comfortable, and the pillow I had is big and fluffy. I fell asleep almost at 3am and woke up before my alarm sounded at 9am. The only plan I had for…

  • Day 14: From Vientiane to Bangkok

    A songthaew picked me up at the guesthouse just a little past 5pm yesterday afternoon. It made a couple more stops, picking other passengers from the other guesthouses in the area. I guess I miss talking to people, since I started a conversation with the traveler who was picked up after me, and the third…

  • Travel Expenses: Luang Prabang

    This was quite an expensive leg of the trip, specially since I took the plane from Bangkok. Living expenses in Luang Prabang isn’t too expensive though.

  • Day 13: Adieu, Laos

    Though I walked a lot yesterday, I still had a hard time sleeping last night. I suppose I’m too aware of my surroundings (and freaked out by it), or I’m just too excited about going back to Thailand. I was still up by 1am, re-watching Voice episodes for the nth time. When I got tired…

Got any book recommendations?
