My First Barf Bag

Moments later I'd be lying on my back in this rickety boat looking up an Orangutan's skirt

I’ve always considered barf bags on planes to be one of those things that you never actually use, but rather that you play with or maybe steal to keep your leftover sandwich in.  Especially since they’re so small.  The entire contents of my stomach?  In that?  Really? I found myself clinging to the tiny useless thing anyway as I flew… Read More ▶

And Now For the Gay Cruise Part of my Trip!

GayCruise

When I was in India a few years ago I decided I’d blow off seeing the Taj Mahal because it’s kind of a pain in the ass to get to and the city it’s in is pretty ho hum and I’d already seen so many big beautiful buildings that really, how much more incredible could this one honestly be?  Wouldn’t… Read More ▶

Pantloads of Mud

RicepattiesSapa

I just got chased down the street by a mob of screaming village women with hand woven blankets on their heads, combs in their hair, heavy silver hoops in their ears and my wallet on their to-do list. I’m in this stunningly beautiful Vietnamese mountain village on the border of China called Sapa where one of the big perks is… Read More ▶

A Star is Born!

I rented a bike and rode it to Cua Dai Beach outside of Hoi An yesterday and the guy who was in charge of parking and keeping an eye on all the bikes and scooters kept breaking into song about his job.  So I filmed him.  He ruled! I let him watch it afterwards and he was a little upset… Read More ▶
