Packing (and rockin')

First off, props to Mike for actually getting around to setting up "Bangkok to Bagan 2004". It’s not like I needed to nag him or anything. ;c)

Second, it’s pretty obvious to those who are close to me that I am uber-excited about this upcoming trip. If you don’t’ believe me, check out my Friendster page or my profile on AIM… it proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that I am stoked about leaving Hong Kong (and that I am a geek, but I digress). Last year’s vacation to Laos/Cambodia/Vietnam has been, if nothing else, eye-opening. We hope this year's adventure will be even more surreal than the last.

For a short synopsis of what happened on our eventful trip last year, check out last year’s blog : http://asia03.blogspot.com. Due to the “success” of last year’s blog (namely that there was at least one individual who thought it wasn’t too boring), we intend on maintaining a similar format on our blog this year.

What I would like to achieve on this year’s trip :

- Eati random insects at various street stalls
- Relax on a beach and finally get a tan
- Not ride on airplanes sealed together with duct tapes (or at least insist on high quality duct tapes)
- Finally backpack alone for two weeks straight

So here I am, almost all packed. I cannot locate my hoodie (which I suspect I lost during one of my many drunken nights in LKF) and I am still at a loss to which book I should bring.

No one understands my obsession with finding the “right” book. Mike insists on me bringing a thin volume that I (okay, him) could carry around easily. I, on the other hand, would like to bring a book that captivates me, which must be long enough to last me a whole month and truly thought provoking. I will continue my search, but as for now, I am off to see a show at the space museum and dinner at my favourite Indian vegetarian restaurant with some friends. Dosa Masala rules!

Keep rockin,

Angel
