The second stage in the process of making the con-fi airborne is to move it up and down to capture the hot air within the enclosed space...

We have lift off! These things will fly and are visible for about 6 minutes until the fuel is all burned up. They get so high that eventually they look like a little orange star.

Me and the girls. The redness in my face is more sweating and sunburn than drinking...although by the end of the night i think i was just red from drinking.

All the girls had the same form...straight arms. Why? Because all girls have weak girly-man muscles. Believe me now, think about it yesterday.

Can you believe I didn't make the olympics? Just look at that form! That stupid grin!!

So this is the guy. I don't even know his name. The girl behind him does because I think they made out later. This guy, out of nowhere, came flying at me on the rope swing, crashed into me, hereby sending myself and my camera into the water. There was a small 666 chiseled into his scalp.

After 20 hours of travel, finally back in Bangkok. As is the case with Thailand, if something takes 20 minutes, it really means 30. 60 means 90, and in my case 15 hours really means 20. It is currently 8:07am, been on the go since noon yesterday, and am now trying to kill 2 hours until my hotel room is ready. Looking forward to a shower followed by a looooong nap by the pool, followed by camera shopping, so hopefully will be posting new photos later as it's been a while. The plan is 2 days in Bangkok, then heading eastward to Cambodia. So for now I'm going to try to control my sweat, try to put off a pending bathroom stop, and get myself to a mango shake.
