An Asian Tale: Thailand - Bangkok
http://danielwsadams.blogspot.com/2007/07/thailand-bangkok.html
My last gasp before becoming a real man and getting a job (right now I'm just pretending). Monday, July 16, 2007. What a ride. We're both relieved to have escaped alive, and it was definitely the most confusing, uncomfortable and just generally stressful couple of days we've had on our journey! First of all, there really isn't very much to see and do in Bangkok. We saw the Grand Palace, and had a cruise along the river. People in Thailand really like their king. I mean, they really. Siam Square was kind ...

An Asian Tale: November 2007
http://danielwsadams.blogspot.com/2007_11_01_archive.html
My last gasp before becoming a real man and getting a job (right now I'm just pretending). Tuesday, November 6, 2007. Nepal - The Annapurnas. This is it, the end of the adventure. It's a bit sad really. I'm sitting in the café in Kathmandu where I wrote basically my whole audit 2 months ago; our episode in Pokhara and our trek finished. Say this unreservedly though: the mountain views were humbling. I didn't pay for the coke. The family we were living with in Pokhara held a nice party for us last night, ...

An Asian Tale: Nepal - Kathmandu
http://danielwsadams.blogspot.com/2007/09/holy-shit-we-are-in-nepal-it-sort-of.html
My last gasp before becoming a real man and getting a job (right now I'm just pretending). Wednesday, September 5, 2007. Holy shit, we are in Nepal! I had my first day at the hospital today, sort of. I went in, and everyone was more interested in just sitting and chatting to me than getting me involved in any actual medicine. I've doctors coming out the ears asking me about how to work in Australia! That's about it for now. As always, we have our photos up on PicasaWeb. I've uploaded photos into the Burma.

An Asian Tale: September 2007
http://danielwsadams.blogspot.com/2007_09_01_archive.html
My last gasp before becoming a real man and getting a job (right now I'm just pretending). Friday, September 21, 2007. The story continues: there are now almost as many episodes as there are Bond movies. and, not to toot my own horn, but I'd say my ramblings are equally exciting. But enough about double-oh-seven. How's Pokhara? I know that's the question on everybody's lips, but you need wait no longer; here's the answer: Pokhara's going great! A consistent power supply. Beef (it's illegal to kill cows i...

An Asian Tale: Thailand - Chiang Mai & Sukhothai
http://danielwsadams.blogspot.com/2007/08/thailand-chiang-mai-sukhothai.html
My last gasp before becoming a real man and getting a job (right now I'm just pretending). Thursday, August 23, 2007. Thailand - Chiang Mai and Sukhothai. Another week, another bowl of word salad in your inbox! We're now into our last week in Mae Sot, and I'm just starting to get unpacked. We've spent the last two weekends trying to see some of the nearby towns, namely Chiang Mai (which is hardly a town as much as it is a city larger than Adelaide) and Sukhothai. I guess that's that. We leave in a fe...

An Asian Tale: Thailand - Mae Sot
http://danielwsadams.blogspot.com/2007/08/thailand-mae-sot.html
My last gasp before becoming a real man and getting a job (right now I'm just pretending). Friday, August 10, 2007. Thailand - Mae Sot. Mae Sot has little in common with the place Kelly and I imagined. But enough about the food, although I could go on happily (see our pictures! I know the burning question is "what are we doing? Although its a pretty stock-standard military regime, a couple of things that make it stand out are:. It very publicly got completely. The SPDC has essentially no ideology at all,...
