Mcleodganj is the home of the Dalai Lama and the Tibetan exile community in India. I stayed here for about a week, and throughout that time, I felt the happiest I’ve been during my stay in India. The climate was refreshing and cool, a welcome change of pace from the 100+ °F days here in [...]

More Funny Things About India
I have gotten the most comments and calls about this section. It seems people love it, so I’m going to share a few more stories. Indian Pool: Just like Indian roads, there are no rules. I went swimming in an upscale Olympic-sized pool at a fitness club in Delhi. It was a nice pool, and [...]
Kashmir, India
I was invited by Daniel Pepper and his parents, who happen to be visiting India, to go on a short, three-day trip with them to Kashmir. It was an action-packed trip to a part of India that was fascinating and very different from what I had seen in Delhi. Kashmir is an absolutely gorgeous place. [...]
New Delhi, India
Thanks to everyone who has so kindly called to check and make sure I’m doing OK. India is a mind-boggling place. I rented an apartment and set up an office in Delhi, which means two things: (1) Most of my travel from now until mid-July will be based from New Delhi; and (2) I can [...]
Back to Bangkok
I liked Bangkok much more after having visited a second time. We toured the usual sites like the Royal Palace. During my first visit, I was exhausted and couldn’t get any sleep. With my second visit, I had the benefit of rest. Bangkok is teeming with life. This time, I appreciated that. The most surreal [...]
Thailand Jeep Trip – Part 6: Mae Salong to Chang Mai
Eventually Fabien became so sick that we had to return to Chang Mai to take him to the hospital. He had a pretty nasty infection in his throat, and the doctor ordered him to rest for at least three days. We returned the Suzuki Caribbean and ended up staying in a very nice, new furnished [...]
Thailand Jeep Trip – Part 5: Chang Rai to Mae Salong
Eventually we became very bored with Chang Rai and even though Fabien was sick, we decided to check out Mae Salong (or Santikhiri), a remote village populated by a stranded Chinese military battalion left over from the 1949 revolution. The military refugees, their families, and a new generation of Thai-born children have made a life [...]
Thailand Jeep Trip – Part 4: Mai Hong Son to Chang Rai
After leaving Mae Hong Son, we stopped at a bunch of local hill tribe villages. The villages were so inviting. Although some of these places were extremely remote and literally on the border near Burma, they had internet access. The same people that stirred huge puts of rice over a communal fire for the entire [...]
Thailand Jeep Trip – Part 3: Pai to Mae Hong Son
After a few days in Pai, Fabien, Sylvia and I left for Mae Hong Son. Mae Hong Son is a town further out and a jumping off point to go visit local hill tribes. The drive there was stunning and having a giant Dutch girl stuffed into the converted half backseat of the Suzuki was [...]
