Remember when I had a blog? Me too. I guess I should do an update. To be fair, I have really good excuses so don't even worry about it.
</br>
</br>
I'll start where I left off. Koh Phangan. It was nearly a month ago that I was there. Yeesh.
</br>
</br>
The Shambhala Resort. It was awesome except for the rat that kept eating my garbage. And my clothes! Chewed holes in my hoodie and my only collared shirt. I hope those oreos gave you indigestion, rat.

</br>
Ok fast forward several days. BAM! I'm in Cairns. I have one photo of Cairns. Why? Because the city itself is unremarkable. But why not photograph the reef, and the amazing ocean you might ask? Because shut up. I'm just kidding. Mostly because the ocean and scenery looks similar to Thailand. You have to see it for yourself, pictures are just bland. As for the reef itself; I didn't rent an underwater camera because it was like $45, and luckily I didn't because it was disappointing. Not very many colours and probably 10 different fish types. I touched a giant clam though. That's not a euphamism.
</br>
</br>
Suddenly, I'm in Brisbane. I can't find the photos of the city itself for some reason (I know, terrible photo blog.) So all I've got are shots of the zoo. Don't go to the zoo. Unless you recently won the lottery or you're willing to mug people out front. $60 entry fee plus it's far as hell from the city so travel costs. I mean, it was cool but not worth the price. Although the animal care was pretty top notch. Not like the Calgary Zoo that gets excited for every day an animal hasn't died a horrible death.
</br>
</br>
Oh, it rained so I don't have a ton of photos.

These demon birds are everywhere and they look like the plague doctors. I swear they sow nightmares, harvest souls and reap the remaining sanity. Or eat garbage. I mostly see them eating garbage.

BAM! That was Brisbane. From there I went to Port Macquarrie for a few days to visit a good pal I met in Perth. HEY DAYNE! Had some good times. The hostel was pretty much empty and I guess they never got the memo that hostels should have at least one couch because the entire place was just lawn chairs.
</br>
</br>
After that, I was Sydney bound.

I just realized I have a bunch of photos on my other memory card. I bet that's where the Brisbane ones are. I'll have to do a misc. photo post after this. WHOOPS!
</br>
</br>
Because now these photos are from Tasmania. Hobart, to be exact. The MONA art museum to be even more exact. Awesome museum. Definitely the weirdest one I've been to, but for all the right reasons. Exhibit of porcelain vaginas? Check. Wall of TV's filled with people singing Madonna badly at you? Check. Remains Palestinian suicide bomber sculpted in chocolate? Yep. You get the idea. Worth every penny though. They give you an iPod touch and headphones to scan for information on each piece. The future is noooowwww.

These were steps that lead to a sarcophagus. The black is water, filled with what I assume to be the snake things from Prometheus.

But it's not my fault because internet on the island was like "WOOOAAAH I SUCK" and I was like "Yep. You really do, island internet. You really do."
</br>
</br>
So Chiang Mai. Let me tell you about it. It's in Thailand. If you go to the land of Thai, I recommend you go there. I'll show you why in a second, but first let me tell you about getting there. It's not a big adventure story, so if you got your hopes up with that previous sentence then it's your own fault really. It was a long train ride from Bangkok but there was air conditioning and banana bread so it wasn't bad. Oh and some rice/chicken combo that tasted ok, but looked kinda like what you'd find in the gutter. I'm alive though, so it wasn't poison.
</br>
</br>
Got into Chiang Mai at 10pm with no idea where I was going to stay, no idea where any places to stay were since the Lonely Planet book gives suggestions but the street names are ridiculous and while lots of Thai can speak English, not many can read it. And my ability to pronounce Thai words comes across as more insulting than helpful. Lucky for me though, I ran into some Canadians on the platform! I asked if I could tag along to wherever the hell they were going and the agreed. I think it's because my beard lured them into a false sense of security. My face is like a teddy bear. Although one guy in Koh Tao said it was kinda rapey... Oh well!
</br>
</br>
We all hopped into the back of a pick up truck, because that's normal and "safe" in Thailand and headed to our hotel. I signed up to go jungle trekking - and holy shit there's a baby crying non-stop right now and I'm going insane - then the next day we went to the jungle. For 3 days. Before that, we all got drunk and went some of us uknowingly went to a prostitute bar. At first I was like "Damn, Thai ladies love me!" then I realized they just like selling AIDS to people. It got awkward fast.
</br>
</br>
It rained the first day which was cool because a) it kept the bugs off, 2) it cooled us off and iv) I felt like Forrest Gump when he was in "VIET-FUCKING-NAM!" We then got to a house inhabited by some members of one of the native hill tribes (the Karen tribe.) That was awesome. We were by a river that we could swim/wash in. They fed us good food and gave some Thai moonshine. I didn't have any the first night because I didn't want to die on the day 2 hike.
</br>
</br>
Second day was hiking followed by another village. We got there and they fed us again, including raw minced buffalo and dried chiles. It was good and I think it was liver... which explains the taste of blood...
</br>
</br>
We played flip-cup with one of the tribesmen that included painting the losers faces with charcoal from the bottom of a cooking pot. One guy, Steve, had his entire face covered. He looked like a black-face actor from the 30's except 100x more offensively racist. I ended up with a swastika on my forehead because fuck you, Dylan.
</br>
</br>
Day 3 was a bamboo rafting trip thing. It was like 5 thick pieces of bamboo tied together and cruised the river.
</br>
</br>
We got back and for a couple nights in a row we played pool at some bar where we got schooled by Thai ladies because I guess that's all they do every day. Definitely fun though. Ate some mealworms, silkworms and a cockroach. All fried in garlic, they were pretty good I admit. But I'm pretty maxed out on cockroach eating for probably my whole life.
</br>
</br>
Then I left by taking a bus and boat to the island of Koh Tao where I learned how to scuba dive. 4 days and 9 dives later, I became a certified advanced open water diver. Which pretty much means I can go 30m. I did a night dive though, which ended with us swimming to the beach of the resort. I felt like a JTF-2 or SEAL coming out of the water with scuba gear and a beard. After that, I left.
</br>
</br>
Now I'm on Koh Pangnan and so far it's the best place I've been, in terms of relaxing. I'll post pictures of it later though.
</br>
</br>
There. That's it. That's what I did since the last update. No more, no less.

The first place we slept. It was so dusty, my asthma tried to kill me. What a dumb body response by the way. "Oh shit, there's dust! Better close your throat to death so you won't have to deal with it in the future!" Thanks, lungs.

This guy was on our ceiling. Im convinced it's dead and just stuck there to scare tourist. Not to say we didn't see spiders just as big but...shut up. Hard to judge the scale, but it was much larger than a toonie.

This is Steve. I forgot to mention earlier that he fell off the water fall on day 1. Scraped his back, cut his head pretty decently, nice big contusion on the arm. He didn't die though, which would have been a downer. I watched him fall, and I seriously thought he died. On a lighter note; that shirt he's wearing? Yeah. The first tribes people that we stayed with had given him that because he gave them a sweater plus a nice cortex jacket for their cold season. He also got a ton of free hugs. Steve is crazy, but I admit he's a generous dude.

Kooooooooh Tao! Diving certificate capital of the world, probably. Definitely the cheapest place. I think it cost me somewhere along the lines of $400 for 2 certificates, 6 nights, 6 total days of learning, 4 days of straight up diving and 9 dives.

My home for those nights. The toilet didn't flush normally. I had to dump a bucket of water into it each time to flush it. That's sorta normal in Thailand but I never got used to it.

That's it! You're probably wondering why I don't have shots of the actual diving and stuff. If you weren't wondering, stop reading because I'm about to explain. The dive boat got wet. Really wet. All the time. It's hard to find a proper fitting case for my camera to take underwater so I didn't risk it. Sort of a bummer, but there are photos on the Crystal Dive Resort facebook page thinger that I can tag myself in. Oh well!

So getting to Thailand was a pain in the ass. But I made it. That's the important part. I spent one night in Bangkok before grabbing a train to the tourist town of Ayutthaya. It's the former capital of Siam or something. Full of temples and smells. It almost smells as bad as Toronto.<br />
<br />
Bangkok train station. They have photos of their king everywhere. If you insult the king, you will go to jail. If you deface any portrayal of the king, you will go to jail. If you step on money with the king on it, you will go to jail. If you fart on the king, you will become the new king.<br />

This lady was drunk. She offered Thai whiskey to the couple next to me on the train. She let me take her photo because I guess Im charming.

Hard to judge the scale here, but this Buddha was tall. As in, probably a good 50 feet tall. Taller than any person should rightfully be, but I'm not here to judge.

Yaaaay, that's it! Perth has been relatively quiet. Not doing much in the hostel, except saving money. I also injured my ankle from hopping over a fence that was *SURPRISE* a further drop on the other side than I expected. I got some crutches though, which will make me an easy target for robbery in Thailand. So if I don't update my blog in Thailand...send help. Or a text. Send a text first, that might be safer.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6252831635532041559.post-53866997359084991092012-04-13T23:12:00.002-07:002012-04-14T02:53:49.836-07:00Adelaide to Perth, the stops in between, some tuna and spiders.So after about 45 minutes in Adelaide I decided Adelaide sucks. Maybe I was just in a bad mood after being on a bus next to a guy that smelled like stale cigarettes and sewage and he kept breathing on me as he generated (un)interesting facts about river trout.<br />
<br />
Either way, Adelaide wasn't the best. So I left.<br />
<br />
I put up an ad on a website asking for a ride to Perth. Within an hour I got a reply so that was convenient. Met up with a Dutch guy named Marius and a German dude named David (he owned the car. Ford Falcon, aw yeah.) A day later, we left.<br />
<br />
Not all of these photos are in chronological order because they uploaded in a weird order on Flickr and I don't care.<br />

I walked into this spider. You can't really tell how big it is, but let's just say when I hit it with my face, I thought I ran into a stick and not at all a large spider <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/bossox/7067127369/" title="Untitled by Bossox, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7248/7067127369_ff209bd794_z.jpg" width="427" height="640" alt="Untitled"></a><br />

We got into the town of Port Lincoln and wanted to shark dive. I guess they only do the great white cage diving on certain days otherwise it makes the sharks too vain and narcissistic or something. So we swam with tuna instead. Not as cool, but pretty neat. They were juvenile tuna weighing around 120 pounds or so, and whenever you'd say something nice to them they'd just flip their hair back and say "whatever."<br />

They throw anchovies at you to catch and feed them. It scares the piss out of you whenever they swim from nowhere and grab it. If you don't wear gloves, they'll cut you up something fierce. (Marius catching one)<br />

Flocks of what I think are Black Cockatoos everywhere on the road. Earlier, a flock of parrots flew into the car on the highway and at least one definitely died. Fun parrot fact: a lot of them are stupid.<br />

Moyston Hills. Really good wine! Moyston... Anyway, the owners, Bruce and Kay, were fun and they fed us some awesome food/wine. I pretty much got paid to hang out in the sun and eat.<br />

I guess there was an emergency on one of the hiking paths, so I was able to catch this helicopter gearing up. Either that or they were just trying to impress tourists. Either way, mission accomplished.<br />

That's it for Halls Gap. Next place I went to was Horsham. I'm pretty sure Adidas track pants are the local uniform because that's all anyone wore. The entire town is a time warp to 1998. I'm pretty sure yo-yo's and devil sticks are making a comeback there. The hotel was easily the greatest place in the town. Cigarette burns on the carpet, mystery stains in my room and the smell of tobacco and urine caked on the walls. There was a radio built into the wall under the window. I didn't try it, but if I were to guess, it's probably locked on a 24/7 Scorpions and AC/DC station.<br />

I went to another museum while in Adelaide. That's pretty much the only thing to do here that doesn't cost $500. It's free! So get ready for more boring museum pictures. They're nothing special, so deal with it!<br />

That's it for now! I'm driving to Perth, I've decided. So I'll be gone for 10 days or so.

Halls Gap, a small, expensive town full of weirdos and over confident cockatoosI missed my train originally which was sort of funny. I really thought I was taking a bus but no...it was a train. By the time I asked somebody why my "bus" was late, they informed me that it was infact a train and it left 10 minutes ago followed by that look that silently screams "you're too dumb to live." I got that look on 3 seperate occassions trying to find an alternate route. I made it though, jokes on them.<br />
<br />
Ok anyway. The Grampian National Park is...a park. A national one. It's about 3 hours west of Melbourne, and 2 hours directly north of Warrnambool, on the coast. It's full of animals and trees. I'll get photos of the animals later, for now it'll just be the hiking and what not. Side note: less mouth breathers here, except for my hostel roommate but...that's a story for another time.<br />

The zoo. I didn't get as many as I'd liked because I hate people and they were everywhere. Standing in prime locations with their backs to the exhibits, getting in my way, staring at the same animal for way too long, kids pushing past me so they could exhale their disgusting hot dog and juice breath all over the glass.<br />
<br />
So far the first and only living kangaroo I've seen in this country has been in a zoo.<br />

I'm not sure what this is, but they had some fake Vietnam exhibit so I took a photo of what is either the most racist representation of an Vietnamese person they could think of on short notice, or a scarecrow. I'm going to go with both; a racist scarecrow.<br />

This penguin was like "I'm not sure if I should go..." and the others were all "just do it, bro." Human commentary on animals, how quirky!<br />

DEAL WITH IT, please. Really cool museum. It's free, as far as I'm concerned and well worth it. Except it reinforced my hatred of modern contemporary art because it's lame. End of story.<br />
<br />
Yeah yeah, art is subjective blah blah blah, eat it. Join me on a virtual tour of whatever I deemed cool enough to show you.<br />

You see what I did there was a literary term called a "hook." I'm in the blogging business now which makes me a professional super writer, so I can do that and use terms like "dramatic irony" and "finger pickles." But yeah, this about photos and not about my mad writing skillz.<br />

Here be the Melbourne Cricket Ground. This is where they play circular games like cricket and Aussie Rules Football. I'm also lead to believe that upon retirement they pit old Australian men and women against each other in a battle to the death like a mix between Gladiator and Matlock.<br />
