Ahh, memories.

This is going to be painful folks, but I feel a re-cap of the past six months (I celebrated my anneversay last monday) is necessary, like the painful finale fo season one, soon to be folllowed by seadson two. I'm giving you the best of, like a tacky peoples magazine or a cop-out Simpsons episode. besides, maybe I won't have to answer so many "what was your favorite..." questions when I get back in, gasp, 180 days. Truth be told however, I am gonna bore the shit out of all of you with story after boring story about my tales. Never you mind.

Ode to Six Months.

My favorite destinations- Stone Town, Zanzibar, Tanzania. Nagarkot, Nepal. Hoi An Vietnam.
My worst trips- 1st night on a bus from Udaipur to Jaisalmer, India, before I became accustomed to constant honking and lurching bus turns. Throwing up on the boat ride from Zanzibar to mainland Tanzania.
Favorite locals- Justin Leslie, South Africa. Vikram Singh, India. Bikash Gurung, Nepal.
Best food- Eating spicy mutton with chappati, overlooking the lake just outside of Udaipur, India, from the second story of a half built house. Street food in any country. Christmas dinner with the sister, hot pot in a swanky restaurant on Railay beach.
Being overwhelmed with culture- Angkor Wat, Cambodia. Taj Mahal, India. Apartheid Museum, South Africa.
Being overwhelmed with nature- the Kraal, South Africa. Mt Kilimanjaro, Tanzania. Desert outside of Pakistan, India. Halong Bay, Vietnam.
Best sunsets- 1st night in the Maasai Mara National Park, Kenya. Riding in the bed of a truck from Ko Chang to Trat, Thailand. Setting over the fort in Bundi, India.
Favorite dishes- Malai Kofta, India, Buff Momo, Nepal, Papaya salad, Thailand. Fish Amok, Cambodia. Cao Lau, Vietnam.
Worst meal- Pho outside of Siem Reap, Cambodia. "Pizza" in Varanasi, India. (Never'll do that again- foreign food.)
Best hotel- Jasailmer, India. Dalat, Vietnam.
