I don't think it'd be a good idea to wear khaki hot pants like Steve did... exposing my pasty white legs to the world would be both cruel and unusual.

In the past couple of weeks I have purified myself in so many shinto shrines and buddist temples I am probably a virgin again!

Virgin. Right.

Yeah, you know... on account of washing my hands and rinsing out my mouth (and then spitting it out) with the water from holy fountains outside of shrines and temples to purify myself before entering... pure, like a virigin. Or something.

In other news, I read in the paper this morning the third story I had heard/read about in the last monthish about a japanese man in Japan killing and dismembering a woman.

The first was a man who killed and dismembered a filipino prostitute and put her remains in the washing machine to clean them. He was a repeat murderer and dismemberer of filipino prostitutes...

The next one only intended to rape the woman, but ended up killing her, chopping her up and flushing her down the toilet.

The one I read about this morning killed and chopped up his sister. Apparently he did it because he was insane...

I keep putting off writing the thing! It feels a bit too much like work. I'll get there eventually, though.

I have been rather slack.

I have started writing something up, but so far I have only managed 4 days, which covers my time in Melbourne.

You can see it all here!

I'll try to be less slack with the rest of it, but there is a whole lot more to go!

Bah, Tom Bombadill is NOT gay, pale ale is not lager (even though I agree it is not really ale) and I am just tall enough, thank you very much!

Good read, you should write it all up (even though the most important parts have all been written already!

*cough* I finally got around to writing up the Singapore parts of the trip after writing up the first half of the first day over a month ago and the rest today.

3 days for a month and a half of waiting on the edges of your seats. I hope you enjoy it!

(Same link as above)

Parental Guidance Warning: Includes homosexual themes, and graphic toilet scenes.

I also updated the Australian part to include a bit about parasailing. It's just one sentence and it's boring, so don't bother looking for it.

Ehh...

I have been working a lot on my travel journal in the last week and I had hoped to have typed up another week's worth by now, but I have only managed 4 days. 4 action packed and exciting days! But still, just 4 days. In my own defense what I have written up for my first 11 days in Australia and Asia thus far is already almost half again what I wrote up for my entire 49 days in America. I don't know why. Maybe it's because I was taking notes, or maybe Asia is just that much more interesting. Or maybe I've been waffling crap. ... I really must stop starting my sentences with "And"... Especially "And then"...

WARNING! The link below contains descriptions of activities that people who already think I have no morals will think I have even less!

Anyway, when we last left our entrepid hero he was on his way north on the train from Kuala Lumpur.

Here is what happened next!

Now with more:
* Graphic toilet scenes!
* Ladyboys!
* Prostitution!
* Mass pitched battles in the streets!
* Cuss words! (moderated)
* Blasphemy!
* Worshipping of false idols!

And featuring my first ever attempt at bargaining! Guaranteed to make you piss your pants with laughter or your money back!

There's even a photo of me in there!

A few choice quotes:

... I was now getting desperate. Unfortunately, the train station only had squat toilets. I tried putting it off, but, before going to board the ferry, I could hold it in no longer. So it was a choice between a squat toilet or in my shorts.

What did our brave hero choose?

And then I got shot.

Oh Noes!

Two of the girls were very attractive, with one dressed in a black bikini top and hot pants with knee-high boots and the other dressed in an elegant black dress with a neckline that plunged all the way down to her navel. The third, not so much.

Boom chicka wa wa!

"Bum bum?"

WTF?

In case anyone is actually still interested...:

Only 3 more days added this time... over a month later... Eh.

Hopefully I can get my motivation up. I only just wrote those 3 days up over the past few days and I decided not to start editting it properly until I've written the whole thing up.

Anyway, these days cover my three full days in Cambodia. I hope I've managed to convey just how much I hated the country.
