It’s been nigh on three months since my last blog post. Three months! I’ve been getting a few inquiries/threats as to when I’d recommence the account of my travels. That time is now. But first, let me explain the resaons for the yawning time chasm between this post and my last (I already feel like I’m explaining to my teacher why my homework wasn’t in on time).
The primary reason is simple: I’ve been enjoying travelling so much and having so much fun that I’ve found it hard to get time to sit down and write. I’m sure some of you have been following the photographs, but they only show little snapshots of my adventures in Asia.
There’s also another, more idiotic reason - basically, alcohol and netbooks don’t mix. So I was without my blogging tool for a significant portion of the latter part of my time in China. But I realized that this blog has really become a pet project of mine, and I decided that it was worth the damage to the budget that a new netbook would inflict (even one in Chinese).
So right now, I’m in Vientiane, the sleepy capital of Laos, and it’s raining outside. Perfect blogging weather. Since my last blog post three months ago (I still can’t believe it’s been that long) I’ve had some amazing experiences. I’ve made some new best friends in Shanghai, I’ve gazed in wonder at the Hong Kong skyline, I’ve changed travel partners, I’ve sat in the clouds near the Vietnam border, I’ve traveled by myself, I’ve explored Vietcong tunnels, I’ve even floated down a river lined with bars on a tractor-tyre tube. In short, I’ve given myself a lot to write about, with plenty more new experiences to come (I‘m thinking of extending my stay in Asia beyond the originally planned six months). In time I hope to share them all. I just hope you’re still interested.
