Another belated update -- from Thailand

The last time I posted I was in Ecuador. Almost three weeks, two continents, 6 countries, and 9 cities later, I am in Lop Buri, Thailand which is about 2 hours north of Bangkok by train. I haven't posted in a while again because of lack of internet access (when I was in China I had pretty internet access but the blogspot.com domain was blocked/censored) and partially also because of travel fatigue.

In terms of internet access, I haven't had a decent wifi connection since I left Ecuador which means I haven't been using my laptop very much. I've occasionally gone to internet cafes (where I am posting from now), but generally used that time to attend to more pressing matters.

As regards to travel fatigue, here's my itinerary for the past few weeks. From Ecuador--which I loved--I went to Peru. In Peru I was in Lima and Cusco/Machu Picchu--which I did not love due to getting altitude sickness and having stomach problems at the same time, though Machu Picchu is fantastic. From there I transited through New York on my way to Hong Kong, which was itself a transit point on to Guilin, China. After Guilin, I spent a night in Macau before flying off to Bangkok from Hong Kong International Airport (which means that despite not spending more than a few hours in Hong Kong at a time, I managed to collect a total of 6 entry and departure stamps ... good thing I got pages added to my passport in Lima!). I spent two nights in Bangkok and came up to Lop Buri by train this morning.

Please keep checking this blog. I do plan on posting more regularly, and will certainly write up the past few weeks in more detail. And as always, I want to hear from you (especially those of you I've met on my travels), so e-mail me at 26weeks@gmail.com.
