Khao San Road during day.Khao San Road at night
Khao San Road is one of the most well known hot foreigner spots in Bangkok, Thailand. It is FULL of backpackers and tourists. I always wonder to myself, “what the hell are those backpackers toting around in the packs when they’re out at midnight drinking beers with their friends STILL wearing the fucking backpacks!!!!!!” LOL

Anyways, still a fun place to go visit every once in a while while in Bangkok, go sit and people watch at the outside restaurants and see how many different kinds of people travel to Thailand

Angkor Wat, Phnom Penh, Cambodia

Ok one of the coolest, awesomest yet most boring places i’ve been to in the world is the Angkor Wat in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. Wow it was an awesome site up close, how such a HUGE monument was built thousands and thousands of years ago. Before going into the Angkor Wat you pull up on a trike (motorcycle-type taxi thing) and hundreds of monkeys come out from the trees, wanting food and also just to play, they jump around on people, pull on hair and so on, it’s cute.

by the way, how do you like my fake ass thai Lacoste shirts? hahahaa

Eating “Balut” in Manila Phillipines

Saturday, December 17th, 2005

me about to eat balut.close up pic of balut
close up picture of balut.me in motion eating balut

Ok, so probably the #1 nastiest, grossest, most disgusting so-called cuisine i’ve ever eaten and tasted in my entire life is this shit called “balut”. It is a popular snack here in the Phillipines, there are many balut guys driving bicycles around with their balut carts selling balut. I even seen a balut guy who got shot in the head one time. But anyways this shit is an egg that is almost about to hatch in to a little baby duck, you are supposed to eat it a certain amount of days prior to the hatching, so it’s like part egg and part duckling body/brains. Was really gross, my friend puked right after he put in his mouth, i chewed then gagged then chewed then gagged and my throat muscles were working their hardest pushing the baby duckling down my throat. Was a funny experience, i can almost gaurantee i’ll NEVER try it again!!!!!

UPDATE!: check out this picture of a really late blooming peice of Balut, it is pretty much turned into a full baby duck, so NASTY! Pic is here
