Postings from my recent travels in southeast Asia, Italy and England. As usual I found that travel reveals more about oneself than about ones destination.

I'll be honest - I didn't write these posts to my Blog while I was on the road. They are taken from the bulletins that I sent to friends every couple of weeks during my travels. I have resisted the urge to edit them (other than to correct obvious mistakes) but I have added links that I think you'll find interesting.

Because I have dated the posts with the same dates as the e-mail bulletins they are all in the archives at the moment. Here are the subjects of the posts

February 18, 2002 - A Trip to Mrauk-U in Northwestern Myanmar (Burma)
February 25, 2002 - Susan Eats her Way Across Asia
March 10, 2002 - A Treatise on two Lao Cultural Icons - Beer Lao and Bus Lao
March 17, 2002 - Wat Spotting in Laid Back Laos
April 1, 2002 - Massage on a budget
April 14, 2002 - Wonderful Vietnam
May 7, 2002 - Cambodia and Saying Goodbye to Southeast Asia
May 24, 2002 - Of birds and One-Armed Bandits
June 16, 2002 - Calda Italia
June 29, 2002 - Back to Barking and Goodbye Italia

I'll add more posts - and hopefully links to photographs (since I've found out that I can't put actual photos up on a blogspot blog) - as time permits.

Do you love fine photography? Looking for really high-quality photographs of people and places in Southeast Asia? Then check out this fabulous site that I stumbled across - Images of Angkor - wow!

Exciting news bulletin (well at least I think it's exciting) - a piece of my writing (an interview with a waitress working at a mostly tourist-patronized cafe in Hue, Vietnam) is going to be published in an upcoming edition of Motion Sickness Magazine. Does this make me a travel writer - well not really (in fact not at all). But it does make me happy - and I get a copy of the magazine to show to my friends. All this online stuff is great but there is still nuthin' like seeing your name in print.
