Goodbye to the Mother and the Cove
Earlier today I was driving up Santa Monica Blvd, stuck in traffic actually, more like parked on Santa Monica Blvd, staring up a very strange cloud that had been hanging over the west side all afternoon looking a bit like the clouds in Independence Day that show up just before the alien ships emerge from behind them, when it occurred …

Everything All The Time
“We’ll collect the moments one by oneI guess that’s how the future’s done” — Leslie Fiest A while back a friend of mine who I hadn’t spoken to in quite a while rang me up. At some point we got to talking of age and memory and time. We were speaking of time passing, of the curious moment we both …

Beginning of the End
I will confess to being a bit melancholy on the ferry from Ko Phi Phi to Ko Lanta. It was slowly beginning to sink in that my trip was nearly over, the money nearly gone and coming home no longer felt so far in the future. After leaving Leah and Kate at the resort I returned to the isthmus to …

Going Down South
Matt and I spent one day by ourselves in Sinoukville and though we never spoke of it I thought it was pretty appropriate that when we went back to the beach shack with the good food they were closed. When we tried to spend the afternoon in the sun, it poured. But then I write, so a bit of drama …

Angkor Wat
At some point during the four days I was in Seam Reap I emailed on of my friends the following, which she found utterly hilarious: “I can honestly say I have never been this hot or even close to this hot ever in my life. Right now it’s about 8 pm and I’m sitting with a fan blowing on me …

Safe as Milk
Sekong was a nice little town with not much in it save the UXO museum, which took all of five minutes to explore. The peculiar thing about the UXO museum was… well, you would think, if you were the United States and you were illegally and unofficially bombing a foreign country you might not want to stamp “US Bomb” on …

The Lovely Universe
Because we didn’t find out about the Gibbon Experience until we were halfway to Luang Prabang, we ended up making a loop through northern Laos and in the end Robin, Ofir and I found ourselves once more in the border town of Huay Xai. Robin had to return to Thailand and then headed home to Sweden. After talking it over …
