Mongolia 2006
http://jeremyinmongolia.blogspot.com/2006/09/i-arrived-in-beijing-around-11am-and.html
My foray into central and northern Mongolia from 9/11 - 9/27, 2006. Monday, September 11, 2006. The directions to the hostel seemed easy - we took the subway to Tiananmen. Square, and proceeded south. We were looking for a main street; it seemed easy. As we were walking, there were many alleyways leading into the hutongs. And pointing in a direction, coupled with showing the passersby. Square. China reminds me of Vietnam. People conduct most of their lives on the street. There are street stalls every...

Laos, Cambodia & Thailand 2007: Cookin' Lao
http://jeremyinlaos.blogspot.com/2007/12/cookin-lao.html
Laos, Cambodia and Thailand 2007. Thursday, December 6, 2007. Like back home at Andy's parent's house, a nice drnink is essential to the cooking process. We were served some sort of sweet alcohol, prior to cooking our dishes. The menu for lunch included:. Beef soup with tamarind. Luang Prabang beef stew 'aw lam'. Sweet sticky rice with mango. Fried tofu curry with vegetables. Steamed fish wrapped in banana leaves 'ho mok pa'. Tofu soup with tamarind (cook for me because I was vegetarian). Before heading ...

Laos, Cambodia & Thailand 2007: Nam Ha Protected Area - Day 1
http://jeremyinlaos.blogspot.com/2007/12/nam-ha-protected-area-day-1.html
Laos, Cambodia and Thailand 2007. Saturday, December 8, 2007. Nam Ha Protected Area - Day 1. We awoke before the sun had fully risen - today was the beginning of our foray into the jungle and simpleness of village life. Our guide arrived an hour later than what we were told, but we were nevertheless happy to be on our way. We met Pon, our guide, and then set off north in a tuk tuk to a Khmu village, where we would begin. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. 12 Hours in Bangkok.

Mongolia 2006: October 2006
http://jeremyinmongolia.blogspot.com/2006_10_01_archive.html
My foray into central and northern Mongolia from 9/11 - 9/27, 2006. Saturday, October 21, 2006. I've been back home for three weeks, although I've been travelling on business for two of those weeks. When I look back at my memories of Mongolia, I'm joyed that I had the opportunity to visit the country. When I told my friends and family where I was going, my statement was often met with questions about where Mongolia was. The second question was: why would I want to go there?

Mongolia 2006
http://jeremyinmongolia.blogspot.com/2006/09/tsaagan-nuur-i-regret-not-writing-for.html
My foray into central and northern Mongolia from 9/11 - 9/27, 2006. Saturday, September 23, 2006. I regret not writing for a few days, but it has been with good reason. It's been too damned cold for me to write, let along take a shower (if one existed) or even wash my face. Night of staying with another local family was splendid - Renchen. Knew of a shaman who was living outside of Tsaagan. There was a solar panel that recharged a car battery during the day, which allowed them to have the TV. Something-o...

Mongolia 2006
http://jeremyinmongolia.blogspot.com/2006/09/kharkorin-hustai-national-park.html
My foray into central and northern Mongolia from 9/11 - 9/27, 2006. Sunday, September 24, 2006. Yesterday afternoon we arrived at Erdene. One of the largest tourist attractions in Mongolia. The monastery. Was built hundreds of years ago, but it had been demolished during the Communist purges in the 1930s. I was excited to arrive here; this was one of the top 5 things that I wanted to see in Mongolia. Our guides had informed us that we were seeing about 20% of the original content at Erdene. Camp, we head...

Peru and Bolivia 2005. I set out to South America in October 2005; my only goals were trekking to Machu Picchu and visting Lake Titicaca.

Laos, Cambodia & Thailand 2007: Nam Ha Protected Area - Day 6
http://jeremyinlaos.blogspot.com/2007/12/nam-ha-protected-area-day-6.html
Laos, Cambodia and Thailand 2007. Thursday, December 13, 2007. Nam Ha Protected Area - Day 6. At the time, I didn't realize that he may have been as scared as I am of snakes. Were drunk by Pon, James, and myself. While we were on the second round, I learned that the eldest man had served in the French army when Laos was still a French colony. At one time, he knew French. I said a few basic things to him, but he didn't remember enough French to reply. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). 12 Hours in Bangkok.

Peru & Bolivia 2005: Nuevos Soles & Souvenirs
http://jeremyinperu.blogspot.com/2005/11/nuevos-soles-souvenirs.html
Peru and Bolivia 2005. I set out to South America in October 2005; my only goals were trekking to Machu Picchu and visting Lake Titicaca. I accomplished both, made new friends and learned a bit more about myself. Friday, November 04, 2005. Nuevos Soles and Souvenirs. I strolled around Cuzco for the remainder of the day, buying t-shirts and carved figurines, browsing for paintings, and eating. I sent a few emails to family, had dinner, and went to bed early. I had a paragliding appointment tomorrow.
