Sunday Night Market madness
Blog: The Adventures of D - 14 October 2011
The Sunday Night Market, in theory, sounds awesome. Cheap shopping. Cheap eats. Stall after stall of items you don’t need, but suddenly have to have. My kinda market. I should have known better.

Blog: The Adventures of D - 12 October 2011

Whiskey and Coke bucket. Chang Beer. Which, apparently, is super strong. Dancing at the reggae bar. A [...]

Fight the jet lag, drink whiskey
Blog: The Adventures of D - 10 October 2011
I rubbed my eyes. Holy. Crap. Katie had just walked into the room. Suddenly, the exhaustion which had overcome my body melted effortlessly away. “KATIE!!” I jumped out of bed and ran to her. “Oh my god!!” “Surprise!” She said, smiling as we wrapped our arms around each other. I held onto her for a moment [...]

Sleep? Not in Chiang Mai
Blog: The Adventures of D - 6 October 2011
Checking in to Little Bird was easy. I gave my name and showed my passport. Then, I was shown my room, a small thing with two bunk beds, a little wooden dresser and a chest-high locker unit. It was cute, with the mis-matched paint on the walls. And, the doors. The doors at Little Bird [...]

Hello, Chiang Mai
Blog: The Adventures of D - 27 September 2011
“There’s a smell to Thailand,” my seatmate from Narita to Bangkok had explained to me upon our arrival to the country, and before we walked off of the plane and down the stairs to the tarmac. “I don’t know what it is, but it is distinct. And I love it.” We walked towards the door [...]

Crossing the Pacific
Blog: The Adventures of D - 25 September 2011
The itinerary I had printed a day earlier from UNITED was becoming worn before I even boarded my flight from SFO to Narita, Japan. Yes. Narita.

Krabi Walking Street in Thailand
Blog: Malaysia Asia - 19 September 2011
Krabi Walking Street in Thailand is one of the night markets to visit while traveling here. As many would think that this place is located by the sea, you are actually referring to Ao Nang which is a district by the ocean. Krabi is more of a town where many travelers come to explore and visit places of interest like this night market.
