Not in China–so I can blog, for the moment.

Well…

 Since I’m not in China at the moment, I was able to finagle a way to get back to posting on this here blog ‘o mine. It’s been a very long time due to inaccessability issues, and it might be a long time from now because I’m traveling.

So where am I?  Well, right now, I’m sandwhiched between an Australian gentleman with silver hair and a Czech girl wearing a National Geograhic hat.

Got a clue?

I’m in Huay Xai, on the Mekong river in Laos. It’s a border town with tons of guesthouses full of foreigners traveling around south east Asia. It’s a little surreal to see so many non-Asian people, but it’s cool to meet new friends and relax a little bit.

I’m on a month-long journey (hoping to end up in Cambodia). It’s been eye-openning so far and truly amazing. There are some stunning views along the way from Baoding to here. And the people have been more hospitible than you can imagine.

Soon, I will add photos to my Flickr account and try to blog about what’s been going on during these past 2 months. But right now, I must go. (This is costing me 250 kip per minute)

Peace,

Chris
