Around the Island and Back Again - Day 1

After nearly 15 hours on the road we finally reach our rest stop for the night, a temple hostel. Basically it is a hostel that is free to stay, with a suggested donation to help keep them running, definitely a worthy cause. The temple hostel mostly plays host to traveling students, backpackers, and bicycle tour groups.

On a note about the last group, it is a popular pass time for those in shape to get a group together and circumnavigate the island riding along the coastal highway, it has become such a popular pass time that many city and countys are building bike lanes or boardwalks off the main road just for the bikers, and for those in not quite that great shape its by scooter. Breakfast today started with cleaning out the last of the bread in the fridge so it didn't go bad while we were out traveling. After a fuel stop we started to roll, about an hour and a half in we passed a park with a beautiful forest of mangrove trees and a nice boardwalk making its way though the park . . . a good time for a picture break.


At about 10:30 we were hungry already, but then again thats what you get for eating at 5 something in the morning. Therefore we made a stop at a local restaurant that was funny enough just getting things set up for the lunch hour rush, so while we had to wait a little for our food, it doesn't get any more fresh.

Two hours later we stopped again for a road side snack, hmmmm there seems to be a lot of eating going on here . . . basically a fired leek and oyster pastry. Later at a traditional market we picked up a cup of watermelon juice (yes they have juiced a watermelon) and a “cow lick” which is a sweet pastry named so because of the way they are cooked and thus come out looking like a cow's tongue.

Finally for dinner steak and eggs with noodle on the side!

Status . . . Green

Fundamentals of Engineering Exam : Passed
Washington State University, College of Engineering and Architecture : Graduated

It has been over a year since my last post and now after graduation, I don't have the excuse from before, such as a of lack of time due to homework. So I guess here it goes. As a graduation present of sorts, I get to visit family and travel before I have to dive into the real world. More to follow.

Movies, Taxes and Food.

Recently saw Kiss Kiss Bang Bang on cable a few months ago, it really show how well Robert Downey Jr can act and shows all the potential that he has. I went to see Star Trek a little bit ago, I loved it, although it is very different in feel from the original, I guess it was a good thing that the director was free to go his own direction without the fanboys complaining too much. Yet I was still surprised that it was done so well, I am excited for the future of this series. While bored I browsed across "The average man's tax dollars" by thetolietpaper.com and it is a very intresting read. Finally I will need to remind myself to keep up with this bread blog, I hope to actully start a food blog of sorts of my own.

Time of Eve

I may have a new favorite anime, Time of Eve. Where maybe Blade Runner and the ending of Mohoromatic, but perhaps with a happier tone and a look at slice of life. The other anime I am following, is Skip Beat with a completely diffrent tone, and also just as enjoyable. I got Far Cry 2 on steam for $15, and I am currently thinking about the weekend Ubisoft deal, $10 for four games . . .
