i'm the chump for loving an authors first book soo much that i fall
into every literary hook he flings out at you. it is when you start
reading that 2nd book where you see every darn annoying flaw in his
verbose catty and ultimately "pussy" ways...the 3rd book would be even
worse because his already dry mojo’s been sucked up and regurgitated into the gelatin mold of the previous 2 books. The end result may look the same but butter-free is ultimately bland...wasted neurons on much of some flights....
3 and a half days after Vietnam, I headed to korea…I was only half expecting frigid temperatures and well, rather than lucking out with colder autumn weather, the gods decided to shag some dandruff down at the kimchee lovers…so I spent much of my 3 days in seoul doing nothing but shopping for winter clothes (not that I wouldn’t be shopping anyways) and my nightlife was limited to one night of soju and beer in sinchon. I’ve been advised by veteran backpacking peers to find the time to rest up and spend certain days doing nothing but recuperating travel energy, maybe I decided to take a rest a few days late because btwn the cold and my fatigue…nightlife was far on the list of priorities. When one bottle of soju gets 2 people significantly buzzed or even drunk…maybe its time to go home and rest up. Somehow, any effort to describe the 3 days does no justice without posting pictures of me eating, which is really all I did…kimbop….kimbop…kimbop…*burp*
thanks to honeybunny81 for housing me.
alright...taking another few days to rest up here in taipei...and i've got a few options for the next destination...i'll let a xanga poll decide my fate...(i'm a lil wary of both china and japan trips...b/c i'm just not well equipped to face the frigid temperatures....)
1. hk-beijing-shenzen-shanghai
2. australia (6-10 day tour group) - free trip, i'll end up going back there anyways
3. tokyo-osaka
4. singapore-kuala lumpur-thailand

go to Singapore, KL, and Thailand. seriously. no doubt will be the most fun of ur life! aside from being the most fun... ur money will go the longest way in these 3 places. (esp Malaysia and Thailand) Enjoy!
heeeeeeeey stranger~ good to hear you're still livin the life... ; ) as far as your question about having fun being the point of life, we will have to discuss that at a later date as one xanga comment just won't suffice... and i don't think i wanna get into that in a public forum anyways~ but i'm doin alright given the circumstances... life goes on... anywhoos, if i were you i'd go with choice 2 or 4... : )
dang you on a world tour eh?? so jealous! have a great time and say hello to mah ppls for me!
rock on!
go to tokyo.
you shouldn't flatter me, as you already stand for all that is beautiful and right in this world... i am a mere spec compared to your joyous and calming aura of greatness...
plus, you have the courage to venture out and spread your beauty and talent across continents, letting other nations experience the wonder and exuberance of life that is ALEX... that's something that i can never do at this point in time
i will hold a copy for you... AND i say osaka
1 or 4!
OH MY GOSH!?!?! ALEX~~~~~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! pinch pinch. AHHHHHHHHHHH. we need to catch up. hugs!
if you can, i'd say cambodia and ankor wat.
and unfortunately, i have no pics of the midget 'cause i would've liked to have remembered what she looked like myself.

love,
french fry on a stick.
yea. my itinerary is basically on my xanga. lets try to meet up. i am travelling alone. but i should know like one person in each place i go. but itd be nice to not be the sole visitor. oh, and i hate riding planes by myself :*(by the way, thank you.. you are the one that inspired me to go to asia.:D
its hot in HK ~70s. tokyo was 60s. Osaka's gonna be colder though. I would do Australia if I were you. Plus its free!!!!!
holy crap. how long are u going to be doing this??? i want to join you!!!!
Damn you doing this alone or with family? Sounds like a kick ass trip
dude - i missed out on cambodia on my trip to SE asia a couple years ago and was so disappointed. other friends went and even hearing stories made me wish i could've gone. international relations, however, are a bitch. wherever you go, live it up!weather out here in the AZ is fantabulous. a bit chilly, believe it or not, but gorgeous sun-wise.the dude fridge vs. the chick fridge....something i'll never figure out.
woohoo!! u're awesome for remembering......... thanks you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!derppy, yours is coming soon too!!! mine's tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!! hehehehe WOOHOOOOOGO USSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSShahahaa
WE DID NOT DO IT !!! U LOOOOOSER .... STOP SPREADING LIES !!! Twin scared the crap out of me the other day --
thanks derps~
where are you now?? oh and where is my postcard?!?!? still haven't gotten it... =
awesome, Alex! This whole time I thought u were already off to med school? taking a lil detour huh? anywhos..I would def go to 1 & 4 but go to 4 first. I'll actually be in asia from dec30-jan16. HK, taiwan, then korea. If we can meet up in the same country, it'd be cool to meet up and pig out together. =)
i assume you're talking about sedaris and eggers.
and email is sent. jeez. by the way, i love the billion number phone number you left.
at first i glanced at it, thinking that you were being facetious. But then I looked again and it was a real number. !
Carbs are taking over my life, by the way. Australia will be amaaaaazing. The food there, so good. Perfect for the foodie.
I spent a lot of time in the Ginsber-y neighborhoods, like Glebe. Glebe is great. Nothing beats going to a dirty Aussie pub at noon and doing teh Guiness and a notebook thing. It has a certain dirty-sexiness to it.
I realize that I hate Tyler Florence now. He's a bit of a pompous ass. You could always kind of tell that he was a jerk on 'Food 911', but now that he has a co-host on 'How to Boil Water', it's even more apparent.
