While Vang Vieng is beautiful and has lots to offer, being sick has totally put a damper on being here. The boys left for Thailand yesterday so Jade and I have decided to just cut our losses and head to Vietnam. It's a 24 hour bus ride to get to Hanoi, wish us luck ( Read more... )

Turns out beautiful American went to Yale, then taught grade 6 math and science in Harlem, now he's taking two years off to travel (he's about 15 months in), and when he returns he's moving to Boston and going to Harvard.

However, as we left the theatre I vehemently proclaimed, "I do NOT want to be in my 40's and still dating!"  To which my sister's friend replied, "I don't want to be 30 and still dating!"  Damn.  Me neither.
