Yesterday just received a "postcard" from my old classmate - Chuen Chuen. I still remember he went to Xian last time with his own. This time, he went to Dailin. I love his idea about sending the photo he took instead of typical postcard. It is so nice. I would love to try doing this...
Still have 11 days to go for the next ride. I started to think about what I should bring and how to keep my money after my companies left and go home. How I can continuous another 24 days by my own. Chuen Chuen gives me confidence.
Until now, we still haven't booked the tickets from Guangzhou to Nanning. The network is still stuck. BUT I think of my relative in Guangzhou and asked for her help. Luckily, her home is really closed to Guangzhou station. Which means we don't have to rush. I also haven't figured out how I go to Yagon from Bangkok. AirAsia has a quite nice offer anyway. Let me see...
As peak season for Japan, one of the friend can't fly to Guangzhou by 20 March, so we will probably stay over night in Guangzhou but it is good that Nic would connect his friend to organize an acoustic show in Guangzhou. They may also play in Bangkok but not sure. It sounds interesting.
Yesterday I found a simplified Chinese version Lonely Planet and I don't have to spend $300 or read the one out in 2004. With those little introduction of the countries, I started feeling more interested of their culture, background, history and arts. One of the most "amusing" thing is they have the history about long inner war, occupied by European countries as their colonials and transform from some thrives countries, to be some of poorest countries in the pass and made the countries 50 years behind the others. What it tells us, war always brings recession. I looks healthy or abnormal that over 60% of population of Cambodians are kids and teenagers. Cannot teach Hong Kong...
In my last visit of Cambodia, I only saw a little part of the country and what Pol Pot and Khmer Rough did to kill over 2 millions people. I can still remember I met a young teenager Khmer in Killing Field, Phnom Penh. It was his first visit of Killing Field and he looked terribly sad about what happened to his country and the nightmare only finished not more than 30 years. I could see the sadness from his face and it is so different from the faces I saw on the road.
One of the most impressive thing I read is whether I should go Myanmar or not. Am I supporting the government? It is a old question and a good question. It made me want to know much more about the countries and their background. Yes... don't go when you are all blank.
Will update again before I left or update on the road!!
