My armpits smell. I’m wearing a sweaty Koh Rong pub crawl tank top right now, and my blue Nike athletic shorts. We’ve made it only 30 kilometers out of Hanoi–I normally drive further than that to get IN-N-OUT Burger. Technically, we’re still in the Hanoi metro. After such a long […]
“My bike is gone” I text the boys. I spent the last 20 minutes walking up and down the crowded parking garage with an old Vietnamese man, unable to locate the bike with a license plate ending in 0987. No one spoke English, but eventually they kept showing me a […]
Seat 18D. Bangkok Airways Flight 262 with service to BKK. So it’s my birthday, and I’m sitting here wondering if my eardrum is going to explode once we get up to 40,000 feet. I’m a little nervous to fly after receiving barotrauma to the middle ear and being advised by […]
Cody cracked his phone last night. He’s been carrying it in his backpocket ever since he almost got robbed last week in Koh Samui. A prostitute ran up to him while he was walking home alone in the dark and tried to rob him–shoving her hands in his front pockets, […]
We were just at the Ibiza Pool Party. It’s like Encore Beach Club in Las Vegas, but better and costs nothing to get in–pretty awesome. Great music, cool people, beautiful women, and beer pong. It was just a few minutes walk from the hostel, and we amassed a solid crew […]
“So there’s this bar in Phi Phi where you can get into a boxing ring and fight someone for a bucket of alcohol” said Cody back in Koh Phangan. It’s the first of March in Koh Phi Phi–my birth month. I’m sitting behind the boss desk on the porch of […]
Boom, your injured. Whether it’s the infamous ‘Thai Tattoo’ (road rash), or stepping on glass–you’re bound to get injured here. Here’s a log of the injured I’ve met and their injuries. Max AKA Hop Along Jesus: We call him Hop Along Jesus because he cut his foot on some glass […]
We got into Koh Phi Phi at about 17.00, sun blazing. It was a battle royale to get your luggage. The boat was a complete piece of shit. At least the AC kicked on once they started up the engine. Cody, Kim, and I got our luggage out of the […]
March 8th, 2016. It’s overwhelming in this hospital. Shitloads of activity. I’m #187 at the “pharmacy” window, and I’m just waiting for my number to be called. The LCD television displays numbers 179-183 up next. There’s windows 13, 14, 15 infront of me, and then 90-94 infront as well. Window […]
“Tonsai! Tonsai!” yells the boat crew repeatedly as the ferry comes to a stop a few hundred meters from shore. A lone longtail boat approaches us from the shore. Out of this packed ferry of about 100 people, only five board the longtail. It was me, Cody, Charlie, and two […]
