January 22, 2003 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
If you've been reading my journals, you probably wish I'd get off my lazy ass and go somewhere new. I want to go too, so I went to KL Sentral Station and bought a ticket to Hat Yai for $13, second class sleeper. So tomorrow I'll get back on the train at the same place I got off more than a month ago, in a sense resuming my journey after a brief break. I never committed to constrain myself to trains, or even land travel, as some people do, but the idea of traveling from Singapore to London by train greatly appeals to me, since it's possible. (I later looked at some maps and I don't think it is. But you can go from Saigon to London.) So that's my big goal. My immediate goal is to take the train to Bangkok. I decided I should go to Cambodia from there to see Angkor Wat before flying to Yangoon and on to Nepal. So stay tuned, tomorrow the journey continues...
You're not the one with the lazy ass. You are out there living out your dreams while we sit here at home and wish we were there travelling with you. Thanks for sharing it all with us and bringing us along for the trip. Good luck, have fun, and stay safe.
