Thailand
Sorry I have been such a horrible blogger, once you see some of the pictures I think you will understand why. Anyway, right now I am in Thailand, Phuket to be more specific. I am extending my stay here a few days beacause this is where I spent most of my time today...








...on the beach. And yes... that sand is more white than casper himself.

See you soon.

Still no internet!
I am alive still... moving from hotel to hotel to love hotel to hostel to hotel... but, it is hard to find anywhere here that actually has free internet. I have been many places these last few days. My parents finally showed up and we have been traveling around with them. I have recentely visted Hiroshima, Kyoto (twice in the last two weeks, in two completely separate trips), Himeji, Odawara and Hakone. If not for this rail pass I probably would have spent about $1500USD on train tickets alone.

Anyway, I only have internet for about 4 more minutes, then I get kicked out of this building (I am using the internet from the hotel I am paying for). I have taken about 3GBs of pictures since my brother has shown up so I will post a ridiculous amount of pictures soon... if I find internet again. Hope everyone is excited for school, I am very excited about not having to go back again. If I dont post anything before the 10th... with me luck on my trip in Hong Kong. I hope to be back up and running after I get settled there. Good luck!

Happy Christmas and Merry New Years...
Or whatever you Americans say...

What did you do for New Years? This is where I was for most of New Years eve, the Meiji Jingu a Shinto Shrine in Harajuku, Tokyo. Tell me your NYs story!



Anyway, I havent really found a decent internet connection yet, but I HAVE found some friends... Jenni, Andy and his friends came to Japan a few days ago and so I have been showing them around the place. I have been super busy and have taken many photos but they probably will not be online for a while. Christmas and New Years were a weird... a little different... maybe good, maybe bad... but over all they were enjoyable, Ill tell you more about that later.

I am getting ready to go to Kyoto... and trying to find time to stay in a capsule hotel and love hotel here within the next few days... right now I don't have reservations for places to stay two nights this week... we will see what happens. After I go to Kyoto I have to come right back to Tokyo just to pick up my parents to take them back to Kyoto... thank the "G" man for this rail pass that I illegally aquired, otherwise I would be dropping about $1200-1400 dollars on train tickets alone over the next week. I also have to start planing my trip to Hong Kong, China, and Thai soon... since its starts on the 10th.

Thats all Ive got for now, I have to try and get into the Imperial Palace tomorrow to see the Emperor of Japan so I need to get some sleep. Huge update to come hopefully in the next week... I hope. Sorry for keeping you waiting, I know the suspense is killing you.
