Southeast Asia Report 6: On the Border of Thailand and Laos
When I got at the bus terminal in the capital, Vientiane, a guy said to me, “Where are you go, sir?” I did not say anything, because one of my friends in New Zealand told me,” Don’t believe people speaking English in poor countries”.
An alarm from Penguins: Climate Change in the Antarctic
One of the greatest changes is happening in the antarctic. How will you think about a baby penguin, when you see it in the photo above? You will say, “It’s absolutely cute.” or something like that.
Southeast Asia Report 5: Railway from Bangkok to Knon Khai
At 7:30, I got up and went down to meet a French guy, who I had seen at the station. He turned up late and ordered a cup of coffee before getting into a tuktuk. When he was drinking coffee, a tuktuk driver went into this restaurant and sat on a table.
Southeast Asia Report 4: Railway from Bangkok to Khon Kaen
I decided to go to Khon Kaen where it takes 8 hours from Bangkok toward north by local train. I paid my ticket for 399B and also bought a bottle of water (10B), a snack (10B) and a pan cake (10B). My budget is 15$ (= 500B) a day, so I’ve already been nearly broke.
Southeast Asia Report 3: Railway from Bangkok to Vientian
At 3 am, I finally got to Bangkok, but one of my Thai friends didn’t turn up. I decided to stay over the night in the airport, before going into the city at 7 am by bus. After exchanging 50 US$ for 1600Bahts (1$ = 31B), I took a shuttle bus for 150B, which was a bit expensive for me. In the bus, I saw an Italian man with a big blue backpack. He was going to Pakse in Laos.

The Beijing Airport was not very nice. When I got there, I had no idea what to do. So I asked an officer about something, but she was talking to somebody on her mobile.
Whose earth? 15 Years After Sevan Suzuki
Have you watched this video, which shows a Canadian girl is making a peach about environmental issues at UN earth summit 1992? When I watched it, I cried but I don’t know why I did. I was just impressed and shocked. She was only 12 years old at the time.
Southeast Asia Report 1: Beijing Capital International Airport
My flight took off at 2 pm. I’m heading for Beijing. At this midnight, I will be in Bangkok in Thailand. Just 2 days ago, I went back from New Zealand to Japan and stayed at shabby accommodation near the Kansai Airport before leaving for Beijing.
