Indonesia Reviewed From beaches to mountains, from villages to megacities. This is the diverse face of Indonesia, where thinks look a little like what Earth should look like, and where sometimes you just feel like you’re on Mars (or at Shangri-La). It begs exploration, as it always ends up overlooked for destinations like Bali. So [...]

Saturday, July 10th, 2010Bali Videos
Monday, July 5th, 2010The videos from Penang, Kuala Lumpur, etc. will probably have to wait – if they ever make it onto this blog! The internet is much faster but still relatively slow and I can’t sit in front of a computer all day! In any case, here are a few videos from Bali that I haven’t already [...]
Upload in Progress, Update Enroute!
Monday, July 5th, 2010INTERNET I am really just bursting with things to share with you, but first off is a quick update on the internet. I am hopefully in the process of uploading some videos from Bali in an internet cafe inside “Surabaya’s largest and brashest” mall in Surabaya, Indonesia. OVERNIGHT TRANSPORTATION Secondly, I must inform you that [...]
How AWESOME/UNFORTUNATE is this tan/burn?
Saturday, July 3rd, 2010After 1 day in Bali. Either a burn or a tan, depending whether your glass is half empty or half full: – At time of posting in Taipei, it was 96.8 °F – Humidity: 41% | Wind Speed: 18km/hr | Cloud Cover: few clouds
Sunset in Bali
Saturday, July 3rd, 2010Hey! So I decided to use my normal point and shoot for a video this time just because it takes so little time to upload compared with my flip HD. The quality isn’t nearly as good – so bear with me here. – At time of posting in Seminyak, Bali, it was 82.4 °F – [...]
Motorbike Excursions and Not-So-Secret Admirers
Saturday, July 3rd, 2010Caitlin and I (who are still in Bali) wanted to live out our dream of riding motorbikes into the sunset. :/ The only way to accomplish said dream is to rent motorbikes. We figured that we would ride to the bus station and back (we needed to buy tickets to Surabaya and renting is much [...]
40 Hours in Taiwan
Friday, July 2nd, 2010…begins now.

Day 1.5 in Bali
Thursday, July 1st, 2010Internet is still slow… I’m hoping to upload a 32 second video that has taken 35 minutes so far to upload 10%… in fact, the upload hasn’t progressed for the past 10 minutes. Bear with me if you don’t see any videos for a while. In any case… Today I took a surf lesson. I [...]
BAYWATCH: Bali Edition
Thursday, July 1st, 2010Bali is as nice as you could imagine. I really have nothing to update you on with words (do you really want to hear about exposing my naked body to Ultraviolet rays of the sun as my skin cells produce melanin and Vitamin D? No, I don’t either.), so I’ll just shut the hell up [...]
Beautiful Beaches and Silly Accidents
Wednesday, June 30th, 2010So, last night, we all went for a walk on the beach.. we walked for a good two hours (by accident) and afterwards, when Caitlin and Calvin walked back to the hotel, I decided to stay and just hang out on the sand like the true Cape Cod beach bum that I am. The tide [...]
