Saturday, July 31, 2010. Reasons to Hate Air Travel (But in Perth! Perth is awfully pretty when you actually get there. We were twenty minutes off Sydney when the pilot came on the PA system. "The visibility in Sydney has dropped below our standard for landing, so we're diverting to Melbourne.". The Perth Old Swan Brewery. Perth is worth it! When you get there! If you get there! Goddamn antipodal cities. Honestly). Wanting to contact other parties. Qantas, naturally, told us that we had missed our onward...

Thelongwaytocambodia: The Darjeeling Zoo: Red Pandas Are Totally Weird. Sunday, September 4, 2011. The Darjeeling Zoo: Red Pandas Are Totally Weird. A standard Darjeeling view. There are good reasons to come here. Whoa, tourist stuff in Darjeeling? The Indian affliction). This is when Thou Shalt Tourist. So Tourist I did. Maybe this awesome sign has contributed to the low rate of animal harassment at the Darjeeling zoo. Note the lion. Why do we have this thing again? Himalayan wildlife is reasonably inte...

Thursday, November 25, 2010. A Day of Mourning in Cambodia. Interrupting this blog to ask you to keep the people of Cambodia in your thoughts this holiday week. I'm looking for a good charity for the victims - still haven't decided - but will post here once I do. Yesterday's mourning ceremony was beautiful and cathartic. I'm glad I went. I signed the guestbook with something wholly inadequate. Couldn't think of anything better. Saturday, November 20, 2010. One more day in Delhi, Lodhi Gardens. You're goi...

Wednesday, December 22, 2010. From Christmas in Cambodia. This is what I've been up to past couple of weeks. It's a photo-essay in blog format on the somewhat bizarre and rather charming phenom of Christmas in Phnom Penh. Lots of photos of holiday cheer Khmer-style. Pithy commentary. You know the score.

Saturday, June 11, 2011. Heading to Darjeeling: Share Jeeps Suck, I Like Taxidermy. The Darjeeling style aesthetic in a nutshell. Raj, baby, raj. Today was the day I headed for Darjeeling, that Indian hill-station with the fabulous tea, the one in that indie movie I refuse to see, you've doubtless heard of it. THIS IS WHY I LOOK LIKE SUCH AN IDIOT." But I didn't. I didn't want them to think I was crazy. The proposed map of Gorkhaland. That got a little technical, but anything involving attempting to expl...

Thelongwaytocambodia: A Post in Memorial: I Walked Around in the Mist Thinking a Lot. Tuesday, August 16, 2011. A Post in Memorial: I Walked Around in the Mist Thinking a Lot. I checked out of the Planter's Club at the earliest possible opportunity and booked myself into the more salubrious, if pricier, Shangri-La Regency,. There's a cafe in Darjeeling you should find, or perhaps you won't avoid finding it, because far as we could tell it's the only place in town that stays open past 9:00 PM. It is odd f...

Thelongwaytocambodia: Things I Thought about in Darjeeling; Fortitious Meetings. Sunday, August 7, 2011. Things I Thought about in Darjeeling; Fortitious Meetings. Skull at the Darjeeling Planter's Club. The Raj; you know. When I met Patrick; it was one of those moments that occurs to me occasionally when I travel alone, this particular quality of understanding. What do I call it? I bet it was really happening, back in 1925," I said. "Emphasis on 1925.". George Mallory (back in better days). Shit, I can ...

Monday, March 14, 2011. Sikkim Trek: In Which We Walk More, Reach The Hut, and Eat High-Elevation Pizza. We woke up early, but we were getting accustomed to that. There is no lying in on serious treks, of course, no room for sitting around in the morning and having your coffee and considering (vaguely) what you might do that day. The entire point of a trek and the entire reason one goes on one is to go up, to proceed upwards, to move. The men talked in a combination of Mahrashti and English, and I mostly...
