It’s a good life. Someone has to live it. Might as well be me.
After the tour of Robben Island, I caught the last hop-on hop-off bus. I chose the route that didn’t include much of what I’d already seen in Cape Town. This bus, went out of Cape Town to Hout Bay and then along the Atlantic coast back into Cape Town. The tour itself was mostly unremarkable. [...]
I am killing time until I go to the airport and fly back to Johannesburg. Luckily there is an internet cafe near my guest house. I think today and tomorrow will be some of my last internet access for the next few weeks.
Yesterday was amazing. The tour of Robben Island was something I hope to [...]
I arrived in Cape Town a few minutes late. Seemed like our plane was on the runway in Jo’burg forever. After collecting my bag, I proceeded out of the baggage area to find my taxi driver holding up a sign with my name. My first time to ever have something like that. The driver was [...]
The flight from Hong Kong wasn’t nearly as bad as it could have been. My seat was on the middle aisle, not so good for sleeping when I need to be either leaning against something or flat. Oh well. It also didn’t bode well, that when I got to my seat there was a 3 [...]
Well, it’s Tuesday night. I am sitting in the Cathay Pacific airport lounge in Hong Kong, borrowing their computer. I am one flight into my trip to Africa. It still hasn’t even sunk in what I am doing. Hell, I didn’t even finish packing until this morning. I guess I’ve been travelling so much that [...]
In Singapore you can spend well over $200-$300 each for 3 people to go out eating and drinking. I think I counted something like 8 or 10 bars.
I do not fall down the little steps in my apartment when extremely intoxicated.
Latin sounding bands seem to be popular in Singapore. At least at 2 of [...]
Everyday in this apartment I learn new things. The first thing I mastered was not killing myself on the 1″ step down in to the bathroom and the kitchen. Only tripped many many many times before I learned that one. It’ll be interesting to see what happens when I have adult, fermented, beverages polluting my [...]
I’m all moved into the new place.
After 2 weeks in Austin, I arrived back in Singapore on Sunday. My plane landed early, so I hung out in the airport arrivals area until it was time to take a taxi to my new apartment, and take it over from the owners. Booorrrriiinnnggg.
It was all very [...]

If you don’t break up the UK, I’ve been to 14 countries, which accounts for 6% of the world. In two weeks, I can check off another continent and two more countries, Malawi and South Africa.
Maybe all the travelling I’ve been doing has melted something in my brain, the portion holding basic logic. With 24 hours to think it through, do the internet research, read the requisite Lonely Planet pages, I’ve now booked another flight leg onto my next trip.
Last night I was sitting with my mom watching ER [...]
