For those with questions like 'Why is Buckley wearing a dress?' you can also cut and paste to here: http://www.travellerspoint.com/photos/gallery/users/john7buck/ for these same pictures with descriptions. By clicking the "m" at the top left, the pictures will get bigger

Because there is free airport Internet, and also because sending this from Taipei sounds so much sexier than from home, I thought I would just update this as much to say I am still alive and on my way home.

For those of you were actually checking into my blog and were perhaps thinking that I had been in some terrible accident 3 weeks ago, had fallen in love with a jungle temptress in Borneo, or more likely, just got kind of lazy, the real reason there have been no updates is that I have been in Myanmar. And let me tell you something about Internet and Myanmar. It's about as easy to find an Internet connection in Myanmar as it is to find a telegraph machine in the States. And then once you find one, it's about as easy to operate as said telegraph machine.

Due to the fact there is a line building behind me here, I'll leave it that Myanmar is now my favorite country in the world (I have a very short memory, so no offense to Malaysia and many of the other places I've visited).

For those of you interested in the long stories, join me for a beer back home. For those, more visual people, I'll try to update this site with as many pictures as I can very soon.

Right then, off to have a few chinese beers to prepare me for my 14 hour flight to LAX.
