Onward... to Southeast Asia

Hello friends, family and fellow readers (bored enough to read my blog).  I will be taking an intermission from updating this blog for roughly 1 month.  In Japan, university schedules are split up between two long semesters and what we know as summer break in the states is a two month long spring break starting in February and lasting until April.  With this long break, I've decided to travel with my friend Baptiste to Southeast Asia for about 1 month.  Our plans are roughly set, round trip tickets to Bangkok and 2 nights of hostel booked but everything else afterward is to be determined.  The plan is simple though (in theory): 4 weeks, 4 countries, 1 backpack, 0 diseases (haha, hopefully).  We're planning to start in Thailand, then Laos, then Vietnam, then Cambodia, back to Thailand and back home.  This should prove to be an educational and exciting new experience.  Until my next post, sayonara!
