I made it back to the island

Hello, long time no see... How are you? It was a crazy trip, but for now this leg of my journey has come to a close. I type from the office at the school I now work for in Ginowan City, Okinawa. The weather has been nice, but it's pretty weird coming from a full summer down under to a spring about to go into summer.

So my journey through Southeast Asia was really good, I kind of sped through Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, and Hong Kong in ten days. I'm still kind of in "reflection mode" or whatever, getting ready for the new semester here, starting in April. So yeah, here are some photos, kind of like my recent mind-photos (I've been working on my photographic memory), and I would like to thank everyone who I've met, who helped me out along the way this time, in Australia, Battambang, that pickup truck, whatever. I'm really lucky to be living this life I am. Word!

The river runs through Bangkok.



Battambang, Cambodia. My favorite city that I hit this time.


Phnom Penh, the capitol. Everyone wants to skate in Cambodia!!



On the train from Ho Chi Minh to Ha Noi.


French-looking old ladies in Ha Noi. Check the flag.

I tripped out on Hong Kong, crazy city! Siiiick skating there.

Yup, yuuuup. Good times. So I'll catch you again, I'm going to be in Okinawa for a while, so let me know how you are! Laaater.

Hello from Phnom Penh

Hi, how are you today? It's like day 4 since I started my venture into Southeast Asia, and all in all it's freaking awesome. I found an internet place in the capitol of Cambodia; but the best city I've been in so far is Battambang, kind of in the countryside. The markets here are siiiick; I've been eating madd mangoes, mandarins, skewered chicken and weird boiled eggs they sell on a little egg-stand. My nose is all messed up from the dust and pollution, and the four hour ride in the back of a pickup truck from the border into Cambodia with 25 other people tried to blow it out, but it just stuffed more dust in my face. hat-cheww-- Woord.

Pictures to come probably when I get back to Okinawa, if you want to see some crap photos I've taken from guest house balconies and stuff. Ah well, hope you're doing well. Daamn this is a trip...!
