The Asian Adventure Part 13 : Return to Sender
Bird are flying past my window.
My bed is the best thing ever.
Like really.
I need coffee.
Joe said I'm going to start hallucinating soon.
He's probably right.
I got back last night after my 16 hour flight. Yay!
So let's recap.
Best Part of my Trip. Working with my Crew and the Bands in Singapore. Driving around and shooting at everyone, and the laughs we had.
The Trader's Hotel at Singapore has amazingly big bathtubs that are almost as big as the beds. Seriously Awesome.
Worse Part of my Trip. Slight food poisoning on my last day in Thailand. The food was so good, but that last day you couldn't get me touch anything, and that's disappointing, because I really liked getting gourmet veggie meals for 2 dollars.
Funny interaction at the end of the trip. I was at the Bangkok Airport and I was at their pharmacy trying to find something for my terrible feeling stomach, and I kept denying their not quite correct drugs, and then after the 7th pill suggestion and third assistant another worker walks up and points to one that says "Spastic Stomach" and I'm like "Yes!" Ah the things that make you happy.
Being back here is really weird. Did things change? Maybe. I know gas got cheaper. Yay! Maybe I'm just a little more aware of how things have moderately evolved since I was here last, or maybe I'm bugging out.
Yes, the jet lag back to the US is worse then the Jet lag to Asia. This is like when I was working nights and yes, I'm going to try to power through today, so if I talk to you, please try not to judge me, even if I'm being more truthful, because honestly, I'll probably be delirious.
Next trip idea: Probably thinking about going to India. (But you know life doesn't always let you go where you want to next, which is okay as long as I go somewhere.)
Okay. That's it. Brain stew. Got to get some coffee, so the merry go round can begin up again. Think I'll walk there. Got nothing else to do and I don't know if it's safe for me to drive. Maybe I'll take another power nap. Sweet. Who knows.
SEE YOU SPACE COWBOYS...

The Asian Adventure Part 12 : Me and My Bungalow
So there I was with my bungalow, sipping on bottles of water, getting eaten by mosquitos, trying to read and passing out every few minutes, while sitting in a hammock... ahhh the dream...
For a few minutes at least. Most of my time in Thailand was spent up at the Resort Spa I was staying at up in the Jungle area of Koh Samui. Just kicking back, eating good vegetarian food and not drinking coffee, yeah I haven't touched the stuff in like 6 days... weird... Got to talking with a lot of other travelers, got some massages, did some yoga, meditating, and other weird stuff. All and all it was good time and I didn't do a whole lot.
Hopefully, that will be the last time I do that, god I like to do things, I mean really, it's sooooo boring to just sit and not do a whole lot, at least when I got food poisoning at the end it was interesting. No, I mean I planned to do nothing, so I didn't change that plan, because I really wanted to know if I could do it, and yeah it was okay, but next time I need a trek, or some experience thing. Okay, enough is enough.
Oh by the way, things are really cheap in Thailand. My whole trip there, all inclusive, except the airfare was less then 500 dollars, and I ate a lot of food (salads and stuff) and did many things, and the place was nice. Anyways! Now I need to write up a brief ender.
Cheers!

The Asian Adventure Part 11 : Airports & Adaptors
"Hey look at you, found wifi... Found Electricity...good for you."
Yeah, good for me. This is what I have to do to spend like 8 or 9 hours in airports, waiting for next flights. For example. I will have to go to Singapore, I'm in Hong Kong right now, and go through the immigration, then wait like 4 hours and then go back through Immigration so I can go to Bangkok, because I'm not actually transferring, I've got flights booked through like everyone.
But at least Singapore is clean!
So I had my best day on my last day. The last 24 hours have been really good. Went out last night, ate chicken feet at 5 AM, slept for a few hours, today was beautiful, I went up to the highest peak of Hong Kong City and looked out and breathed the fresh air and jumped around the trees to the music of U2's Joshua Tree. I'm still buzzing off the energy.
Because there really isn't a lot of nature energy flowing through Hong Kong, when you're down in the city, and that's kind of a bummer, but it does have character... and that really helps everything, you know
I'm off to Singapore, then Thailand, I'll be safe if you'll be safe, keep dreamin', keep believin', and whatever you do, don't think Obama has this in the bag, because it ain't over 'til it's over.

The Asian Adventure Part 10 : Red Bulls
Well... friends... my time in Hong Kong is coming to end... while you are sleeping I will be on a plane going towards Singapore and when you awake I will be on a plane heading to Thailand. Not the dangerous parts have you, the safe parts, the parts with the beach and the tourists and the fantastic tiki hut with air conditioning!
But right now, I've got my red bull, my game face, and I'm going out! My Friend Melanie is in town and we're going to go do something! (i think it involves bowling and boogie... but like only really really really late..)
When I'm hanging in the bangkok airport I'll try to write again.
Hasta! Muchachos!

The Unaired Question:
Bob Schiefer: Recently, people have begun to talk about how the NBC program, "Heroes" has regained some of its season one excellence, but there are many here and on the Internet that still believe the show is clunky, uneven, and desperately trying to hold itself together.
Senator Obama your point.
OBAMA: Look, the show is going to have its problems as you have so eloquently put it, and I absolutely agree with you on those points, but I think America is at a point now where it has to tone down it's expectations for the show. (McCain blinks furiously.) I think it's time for America, just like when we spoke about the economy, to realize that we over the last several seasons have gone through the bad times, reality television, and have emerged with a string of excellent dramatic programming, but times are changing, and the old ideas are not working anymore, and when I'm the President, I will make sure to keep new ideas flowing.
McCAIN. Forget about what that guy said, he doesn't get it. He's not like you and me, he reads. What you have to realize that it's just good old fashioned entertainment for the people, for the people I've talked to around America at my town hall meetings, for guys like Joe the Plumber who work 10-12 hours a day and just want to go home and watch a simple television show about some folks who have more problems than we do, but at the end of the season save the world (Obama coughs) and when you look at it like that, you'll see that the show is a triumph.
OBAMA: There are two points here that I feel I should discuss. One: I read a lot, but I watch television as well, I watch Battlestar Galactica and Lost, and my wife watches Ugly Betty, but I think that an over-reliance on television is seriously hurting our children and that reading, while not a lost art form, should be encouraged. Point Two: Just because the characters on Heroes end up saving the world, doesn't mean that the way that they saved the world made sense, in any universe, and that 85% of the episodes were filled with plot holes and contrived characterizations and cliched dialogue.
McCAIN: You just don't get good television. I get good television.
OBAMA: That's untrue.
Schiefer: Good night America!

2 new songs from Britney Spears and Christina Aguilar... but really they sound like Rihanna songs.
Thank god for Beyonce (at least she sticks to making Beyonce music.)
