initiating hibernation

Just want to officially say that there will be no new entries to this blog until my next trip, whenever that may be (hopefully in december this year, if jo allows a break from thesis studio) *crosses fingers*

Till next time. ciao.

photos are up!

just a sampling here. More on my yahoo =)

still have one more b/w roll with most of the sukhothai pictures inside...

cycling in the countryside around sukhothai 

grand palace, bangkok. 

crumbling temples 

shangri la: erawen waterfalls 

crosses and poppies for rememberance of the POWs who built Hellfire Pass 

a taste of the ornateness of the temple of the emerald buddha...  

into the crypt....  

one of the not so unsuccessful attempts to take my own picture...

coming soon: photos!

yay! going to collect most of my photos later... hopefully there will be some I will not be too embarressed to put up =)

update 1: the travel insurance only provides for delays of more than 12 hours so it looks like I won't be getting anything from ntuc. sigh.

update 2: I had thought I would probably not hear from any of the people I met on the trip again, but I have gotten sms-es from Jen (the changmai girl in Kanchanaburi), a phone call from Kat (the thai girl I met at the airport), and emails from Masa (the jap guy from Sukhothai). And i think I am supposed to write to the woman from the bus to Kanchanaburi, but I don't even think she can read english and her address is all in thai script....

I want to go back to thailand.... and vietnam.. and cambodia... and laos... and myanmar...

next time.. heh heh heh....
