Nepal, - where to start?

Was it a plane or a sudden wormhole to medieval times? Walking around psychedelic unintended performances and chillin' in Sam and Toshie's garden with GT and whatever. Together again! Aba and Tomfas and Kaz having Genki time with Kiwi. Arrival of Meri and Johnny! Kumari, Yoga, rock climbing, trekking, sunsets over the Himalayas, canyoning, mountain biking, talking, Japanese tea-ceremony, Fie after so many years, Borat, temples, people and a million other things (including a couple of accidents)...

Bangkok, - impossible not to stay one night!

Dim sum in Siam Square. Looking at the sky train and fake iPods in the afternoon. Dinner at the Admakers with the old crew: Ean the Element, Nelson the Mae Sot veteran, Makiko as always flying in and out and around and Fred the old Bangkok tiger. So nice to see you all!

Singapore with Xiao Ching (not Lin)

Ferry with thundering clouds over the old harbour. Dim sum and fried rice. Champagne and finally we had Xiao Ching in the real world. Stories of weddings and travels and all other things...

Indonesia, - even more long-lost Hanoi friends

Fighting the fear of falling on too cheap flights. Reunion with Hanoi legends Pepe and Megan who seemed to have multiplicated! Pepino and Bebel, - cuter than cute! Tsunami-wrecked Banda Aceh seemed too flat and new. 120.000 people dead in a few minutes. Diving in North Sumatra sea with babies playing on the beach. Orangutangs in the jungle and it would have seemed just natural if they spoke!
