It was written on the wall “Lets make better mistakes next time“

Easy for you to say, I’ll tell you what I don’t want - Adventure gone wrong

Her Ques: that’s what you afraid of

My Ans: That’s what I want

The thing is they are right, turns out everyone who wants an Adventure must feel the rush however if you don’t then you are disappointed

You will never know till you try, the answer is as clear as day

 

I post on the wall

Some are living through them

Others are dreaming their next

But one thing is for sure that Everyone is j

So you have a Bia

 

I had a thought while taking off from Vietnam “why do girls never buy a drink for the guy?”

Don’t get me wrong

Safe to say, Since i was born or you were 5

Its not like they are bad in love or misers… Nah! Maybe its Ego

Do you have a clue? Well, a girl bought me 1 here so I was surprised

Ask me which part of the world was she from, might speak volumes

I think it is puurfect, haha I am kitten. She had all the right intentions

So you have that Bia

 

Anyhooo, culture & origin of things fascinate me. While Biking across the rice paddies in HoiAn… I thought about it, French influence is not just incredibly spread here, or due to the history of this country but many more. Did you ever know, because of the infamous French taste, it so happens that back in the day, I mean way back at the time of World War I American soldiers in South Belgium as usual “discovered” tasty fried potatoes & again due to the French influence that made them famous which you & I today know it as “French Fries”

So the fun fact is that French Fries are not even French! Trivia you will always remember when you pick a Fry - that simple yet best taste comes from Belgium.

My friend in the North of the Hotspot, land of the Free “Amsterdam” is surrounded by many distractions & enjoying these fast-food delicacies amongst other things

So wash it down with a Bia

 

now that I land in Cambodia, let me give you another piece of information that I just realized is wild

Fun Fact, here Crocodile burgers are more famous than Angkor Wat, these guys have such an appetite for it that these creatures are extinct to the level that you find them only in museums now

Its like Holy Crocodile, what you gonna do with all that tasty meat after making an exotic belt & accessory for you… Not for me I don’t even eat meat anymore

So just have a Bia

 

This story isn’t about me, I am just a character here to Tell

Nor is this story about my culinary skills…

This Story is about Time Travel

make no mistake & grab a Bia

 

Crash course from Suryavarman II & Jayavarman VII

They ruled indigenous Khmers & made the world’s biggest metropolis of ancient times

It was the God City & remains the largest since time itself approx a 1000 years give or take… whos counting

TombRaider & all the best Indiana Jones kind of treasure hunter flix were filmed here

Most interesting fact is that they followed Hinduism & fused it later with Buddhism religious beliefs

Long story short its magnificent, but someone pulled the plug… thought the heavens will fall

the forest & trees popping out like mushrooms from the roofs of the structures, its some kind of beautiful you can only go, see & experience for yourself to know what I mean

These things are larger than life, you can go to the swamp & be mesmerized by the largest lake ever followed by an incredible sunset

Unbelievable life floating on water

So you have a Bia

 

I am sure one of you are gonna say that… all I got from all this is that I am an alcoholic haha

Hell I was on vacation, it can’t be half as good unless you put an all-nighter

Do tell me if I paint a compelling picture… will ya?

 

Hope it tickles your pickle

I sure had the time of my life, if you need one… Hell, take mine

Now I am on a snooze fest, from here on… now its blue skies & butterflies

SOLO ji

 

 

Have you tried Pub Crawling… it will be an Epic night you won’t remember

“Only failure is to never try”

Road ahead is uncertain, but the end is clear. The Journey is Gold, perhaps without reasonable doubt

Wouldn’t miss it for the world or maybe I will just Map it

I have a Tell… Travel Story to the Land of the Bia & my fav Coffee

Egg Coffee is that experience you always wanted, credit where credit is due

Maybe I should write a book. I got a name for it too “Why you can’t find a Starbucks here”

Walking into Starbucks & ordering a smoothie, that’s a story for another time

Just can’t shake it

So you go Solo ji

 

I backpacked, I saw, I fell in love

If I stay a few more days

I will live a few more years

 

It is unheard of - you land like a Millionaire while leaving with priceless memories.

You feel more richer coming out than going in

Its like the boulevard of cocktails & hope, you feel so liberated & free

I saw it written in bright Red “Hot singles” haha that was a Food delivery AD

Jaded at the Bangkok airport layover, while I started thinking about all I did,

Bibbity bobbity booo… before I knew it, I was writing for you good folks

back to my day job! I was doing ok yesterday, Great fun today. Don’t worry about tomorrow

I must do this, so that I can do all that…

want more Bang for your Buck

So you go Solo ji

 

This spot is wining hearts, Stepped into the Pulsating Hanoi, cycling myself through the enchanting Hoi An… Hoppin around the charming DaNang & Hue

My last leg out from the Bustling Ho Chi Minh or what we love to call SaiGon

All the way to the Ancient God City of Cambodia

Lets get this party started, Taking the road less travelled, moving my way South I met many people… bunch of Americans, Australians, French & loads from the UK… no prizes for guessing why. Interestingly a few from South Korea for many reasons that one can find when you dig into the past Mmhmmm

Met many backpackers, over friendlies, travel junkies, saw smokin balloons, its v hush hush

Vietnamese love the Dragon; I know where GOT got its inspiration from.

Treat to the eyes

Vacation to the mind

Rejuvenating to the body

Exotic me in the foreign land, taught a girl how to skateboard. You meet so many new people from different cultures & walks of life, nice as well as warm locals. Really friendly people

Neighbors, passerby, everyone must dance to the music even if they don’t want. Super fun

Everyone loves my beard, coz they got none haha

You think you’ve seen it all, but then you visit BaNa Hill. Boy oh boy you are stunned

Taking the cable car… damn that was fast from 30 degrees to 15 degrees in a few minutes. Take off from the Tropical Island & land on a True European Hilltop

Best Top Dollars I ever spent, for the lack of better words Amazed & Mesmerized

Anyhoo the S shaped coastal country along with Siem Reap was out of this world but still on planet Earth

 

Set out as an Explorer, not as much as the first, but definitely more to come in the last

while the guys driving Grab are selling everything but a ride, its one thing to ride, well let’s just say they got it all wrong

Not a big fan of air Jordan anymore, do you still have to ask me why

This place is a ubiquitous copy of everything

 

Planning this trip just happened when I was listening to Van Helen scream “you really got me”

I will take it how it meant & not how it sounded

just can’t shake it

So you go Solo ji

 

Its Epic to Backpack the Exotic lands of South East Asia… Solo travel in this part of the world is like - Things I never saw with people I never meet

There are 3 kind of backpackers – those who never go home, those who have 1 Month visa but can’t get enough & those who just have no clue what’s next

Sometimes on a journey all you need are helpful people & wifi

 

I made a Danish Pal, who had Flag tattoos of all the countries he ever visited, these Flags were everywhere, I mean right from his arm that go all the way… all the way… all the way to his ass… well that’s what he told me Duuu

I tell them what they want to here & so that’s how it goes - you know there’s a saying in Denmark

“When it rains on the Priest

it drips on the choirboys”

just can’t shake it

So you go Solo ji

 

We can’t handle the truth so either we accept only the good stuff & are living in a bubble

Or we find an escape, for most it is a getaway…

Almost always, Now & forever - The only way I Travel

“Solo ji”

 

Passive relationships, Toodle oo

Thanks for the laughs

Bon Voyage
