Sean — Fri, 05 Sep 2008 13:35:05 +0000

Okay guys, so I’m now back in China in the city of Shenzhen. Tomorrow evening we will take a train back to Wuhan (ticket was 280rmb, or $40). I will upload all my pictures and videos this weekend. Enjoy the post I hid from public view while I was in Thailand: Went to Railey Beach [...]

Not Stuck In Thailand :)

Sean — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 00:20:04 +0000

Okay people, you need to start watching the international news, PRONTO. There is a huge situation in Asia that I can’t specifically mention for reasons stated a few posts ago. What I can update you on is that we are back in Bangkok now with a flight on the 5th to China. The flight might [...]

The Misadventures of Sean, Part 2

Sean — Sun, 31 Aug 2008 13:59:11 +0000

Ever since the accident I’ve been careful. So careful I missed out on one of the most amazing experiences in life: a speedboat tour of the Phi Phi islands in Thailand. I told myself I have to come back to Thailand one day so I can do this tour. Maya Bay was the filming location [...]

Motorbike Accident

Sean — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 19:54:00 +0000

This morning we rolled out on our motorbikes with me in the lead. Today was my day to shine, to show my friends I wasn’t useless and could plan a day trip. Everything went as planned. I got us where we needed to go without any problems. Around 1:30 we were leaving the Mangrove Forest [...]

Red Like a Lobster

Sean — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 02:23:35 +0000

So today we rented scooters It cost 200 baht per bike ($6) and we have it for 24 hours, and we’re actually renting them again tomorrow. Today we rode out to Thalen Bay in the north about 60 kilometers and took pictures. For the entire trip up it was pouring and there were no food [...]

Goodbye Bangkok, Hello Beach!!

Sean — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 00:24:14 +0000

2 days ago we went to the Grand Palace in the west of Bangkok. Went to patpong in the evening to show the girls what it was like (patpong is a show where the girls put things in weird places), and they normally say pay 100 baht for a beer and see the show for [...]

Bangkok Nightlife

Sean — Fri, 22 Aug 2008 21:42:40 +0000

So yesterday we got to our accommodation (an apartment). For 4 people it costs 2100 baht per night. We only have 3 people with us right now, since the other two were stuck in Shenzhen last night because of a typhoon. In the afternoon we got schwarma (I had 2, Nick had 2, Matt had [...]

The Real Bangkok

Sean — Thu, 21 Aug 2008 13:24:25 +0000

Yesterday afternoon Nick and I got Thai massages for 150 baht (about 30 yuan, or $4) for 1 hour. It was fanTASTIC. So far Thailand has been good and bad for me. In China, every person who approaches you is only interested in practicing English and learning about you. In Thailand, every person wants to [...]

Bangkok

Sean — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 17:10:41 +0000

So last night in the airport, I had the craving for McDonalds, but the only problem was that I was already stamped out of China and sitting in limbo between countries. I asked my mates if they’d let me go back, but didn’t think about the problem of re-entering a country that doesn’t have the [...]

In the Airport Once Again

Sean — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 00:02:42 +0000

I arrived at the Wuhan airport and they informed me that eLong (the booking agency) had cancelled my ticket. They never sent an email telling me why or called the airline either. It turns out that with eLong you have to send them a copy of your visa or something, but no such thing is [...]
