Arrived in Thailand a couple nights ago. A very different country compared to the other places I have been so far. Unfortunately I don’t have internet at the place I am staying, so updates to this site might not be too frequent. I will do the best I can.

The plan is to stay here for at least a few weeks. I am staying with my friend Annie who teaches English here and has a spare bed. Her place is just a 10 minute walk from a pristine beach. It is definitely pretty sweet and I am enjoying it so far.

No real plans yet of what I will be doing here, but tomorrow I am visiting the school with Annie and giving a lesson on the South Pole! Hopefully it goes well. More next time!

As hinted earlier, I finally completed a youtube video of the highlights from Australia and New Zealand. Check it out. Let me know what you think in the comments.

The picture page has been updated with pictures from Australia.  Make sure to check out the Lone Pine photos.  Handfeeding kangaroos was awesome.  Also, I have trained monkeys hard at work on a video slideshow of Australia and New Zealand.  Hopefully they churn out something good.

I am pretty convinced that Singapore is the shopping capital of the world. Literally mall after mall after mall. Every store you can imagine. One of the malls had a Yamaha floor. Not a store, a floor. An entire floor devoted to everything Yamaha – Pianos, Guitars, ATVs, Trumpets, Audio Equipment, etc. Another mall had a bread store. A huge store that had every kind of bread, pie, cake, bun, biscuit you can think of.

The most exciting mall for me has been the Sim Lim Square. This is a 6 story mall of nothing but tech gadgets and electronics. Another really interesting experience was going to the movies. This afternoon I decided to cool off in a cinema and was suprised at a couple things. First, the movie theatres here have extremely comfortable seats, way more comfortable than the US. Second, your seats are reserved. You select your seat on a touch screen when you buy the ticket and you are required to sit in that seat.

More to come as I keep exploring the city.

Hey everyone, sorry for no updates ove the past few days, but the place I was at in Australia had no internet.  I just arrived in Singapore.  The travel map is updated.  I took a lot of pictures in Australia and I will post them as soon as I get the chance.  The two highlights of Australia were definitely surfing and handfeeding Kangaroos.  Today I am trying to get some visas in Singapore and explore the city a little bit.  More later!
