The Endless and Futile Quest for Bostock

April 15, 2017 / Christian Wilkie / Leave a comment

I bet you're wondering why there's no such thing as bostock. The answer to that is complex, because there are two factors that conspire to lead most people to believe it doesn't exist. One factor is that it's extremely rare, and the other is that it is imperceptible when present. Taking these into consideration, it's … Continue reading The Endless and Futile Quest for Bostock

Day One in Kuala Lumpur: Lay of the Land

March 14, 2011April 3, 2022 / Christian Wilkie / Leave a comment

We bused into Kuala Lumpur shortly before 5am and scrambled to find a place to stay.

Day Two in Nong Khiaw

January 27, 2011 / Christian Wilkie / Leave a comment

Today we woke up earlier than usual, and after all toilette and pleasantries were managed, we were on the street and operational by 9:30 a.m. This was pretty good of us, considering we would rather have laid snuggling inside a cold bungalow for another hour or so. But we had a sense of duty and … Continue reading Day Two in Nong Khiaw

Entering Lao PDR

January 17, 2011 / Christian Wilkie / Leave a comment

We woke up extra early this morning, as Rebecca reiterated, to secure good seats on the slow boat down the river. She had done some research in the travel guides and keyed into the tip to sit as near the front as possible: the rear of the boat houses an enormous gas motor that incredibly … Continue reading Entering Lao PDR

Today We Explore Bangkok

December 21, 2010 / Christian Wilkie / Leave a comment

We woke up lazily but not so late that we'd miss breakfast. The mattress was firm and there were lots of sheets to curl up in or discard. The city view from our window wasn't so flattering to the urban landscape, not as much as it had been the night before. The first thing we … Continue reading Today We Explore Bangkok

Goa Gajah and Yeh Puluh

December 4, 2010 / Christian Wilkie / Leave a comment

I let myself marvel over our bungalow at Puri Wisnu this morning. It really was a lovely layout, with lots of exotic plants growing everywhere around the courtyard. I took a picture of Heliconia rostrata, known as "lobster claw" or "false bird of paradise." It's very striking from a distance, but when I got up close … Continue reading Goa Gajah and Yeh Puluh

One of Those Unpleasant Days

May 4, 2008 / Christian Wilkie / Leave a comment

After Café Paris, we walked downtown to the central bus area to catch the 14. We were feeling lazy and wanted to cut down on our travel time back to Galtafell. The 14 never showed, however, and I didn't know whether this was because the Sunday schedule was different from the other days or what. … Continue reading One of Those Unpleasant Days

To Isafjorđur… or Not

May 4, 2008 / Christian Wilkie / Leave a comment

Today we woke up, cleaned the cool-ass little apartment up, and checked out. We agreed we would miss the little pad, with its garish cow duvet and supremely convenient closet-kitchenette. If I could travel the world and secure such an apartment for myself everywhere I went, why, I should be quite content indeed. We trotted … Continue reading To Isafjorđur… or Not

Iceland’s Famous Hot Dog

May 3, 2008 / Christian Wilkie / Leave a comment

After we cleaned up, we went outside for more adventure. It had been a bright grey overcast sky all day but now there was a fine drizzle that went from a heavy haze to something almost like raindrops. Rebecca was a bit discouraged at the crappy weather, but I was delighted with a childlike glee … Continue reading Iceland’s Famous Hot Dog

The Golden Circle Tour

May 1, 2008 / Christian Wilkie / Leave a comment

We had a hard time sleeping the night previous: people (I'm guessing locals, could be tourists, maybe) were out drinking until around 4 a.m., just being loud and obnoxious. Obviously in high spirits, and good for them, and maybe I'm the only one who has a problem with what's otherwise a local custom. And if … Continue reading The Golden Circle Tour
