Quick update

I'm just online for a few minutes but being as I've been neglecting my blog and have a few minutes before my hour is up at this internet cafe...

A few things I find it hard to belive - I can't believe I haven't written since India! Wow. I left Mali almost 3 months ago??? Which means I've been traveling for as long... all equally unbelievable. Mali seems ages and worlds (in some ways is) away from where I am now yet also it doesn't feel like I've been traveling for that long either. Then again, if I think about all I've done and where I've been, back to seeming like a lot. Hmmm...

I'm currently in Bangkok after leaving Cambodia this morning - I had to make an unexpected trip back into Thailand so I can get to Laos where I'll arrive tomorrow morning making three countries in less than 24 hours (odd because you really shouldn't have to travel through one to get to the other). The short version is: I couldn't get my visa for Laos at the border with Cambodia and since it has been the Water Festival in Cambodia this past week, everything, including the Laos Embassy, has been closed. Thus my detour through Bangkok.

I'm about to run out of time but I'll just add that I counted up all my photos as I just backed them up yesterday and I have 5000 and counting (this is without any editing mind you) so after some time back home I'll have plenty of albums to post. I'll see what I can do though and get you a few while I'm still on the road.

Where I've Been...
