blogger blocked from burma, chillin in bangkok

i'm hopping on an airplane to yangon in 10 hrs, so if i don't update my blog it can be for one of 2 reasons:

1. i've become extra extra lazy
2. blogger is censored in burma and i can't find a proxy site that will get me around it

i do have tons of really cool pictures from vietnam and cambodia that i need to post.

oh, and earlier today while i was walking around bangkok i ran into some protests. i took a picture and proceeded to walk in the opposite direction right into a movie theater where i watched max payne (not so great, but i was entertained for 90 minutes, and i was far enough way from large mobs).

so i spent the better part of the last 2 days in bangkok being a mallrat - i watched 3 movies, ate lots of food, and spent a lot of time in bookstores (bangkok has 5 major shopping centers on the same street and they're connected by a skybridge, so you can walk from one right into another). julie, i bought some books, and i might actually read them! maybe by the time you finish 100 books, i'll finish this one that i just bought.

that's kinda it for now. glad that i'm pretty much done with moving hostels/hotels every other day. i'm excited about going back to burma and then excited about going home after!

the current eta in SFO is Nov 17th.

dana! sounds like you're still having quite an adventure. i miss you! hey, guess what. i'm on opening! and you'll never guess who my waltz partner is! or maybe you will, but it's still exciting, and i thought you might be excited for me too. :)

i hear you might not be staying in the bay area for too long after you go back, but you most definitely owe me at least one more waltz! i don't know why, but you do. :) oh! i know... a congratulatory dance for me for joining opening. also one for you for graduating again. so that's two! maybe one can be lindy. :)

uhm... sorry this comment is so long and unrelated to your travels. hehe. have a good rest of your trip!
