Taiwan

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.
