So as you can all see, the website has undergone a metamorphosis. To be honest I have never been happy with the old sites, however many times I have tried to improve them. This site is different and I am happy with how it looks and in the future, hopefully you'll be with the design, the information and ease of navigating the site.
It will take some time to get all the information transferred over to this new site, but I am working on the site daily and in time it should be a much better site.

The two documentaries below, "Reindeer Spotting: Escape From Santaland" and "Lost Boys: Be Gone Evil Spirits" give powerful insight into the darker aspects of drug addiction and its effects both in Finland and in Southeast Asia.

The first documentary focuses on a young Finnish drug addict named Jani Raappana, who uses Subutex intravenously and finances his addiction through theft and burglaries.

The sequel "Lost Boys: Be Gone Evil Spirits" takes place in Thailand and Cambodia and provides a deeper understanding of the struggles of addiction and life in these countries. Both documentaries aim to shed light on the serious consequences of drug use and offer a unique perspective on the issue.

I will slam an espresso, print out the cheat sheet I made with my necessary information, make a few updates online, shower and head to the train station. Better early than late.

It's been a while since I've undertaken a journey outside of Thailand and logistically the only difficulties are whether or not I can get from point A to point B in a timely and cost-effective manner. Beau, my wife, arrives in Ho Chi Minh sometime between the end of this month and November 2. With any luck I will be in Laos for a week, then meet her in Vietnam where I will stay for 10-12 days.
