absent
<img>
I suppose I promised a big wrap-up/analysis highlighting your (stereo)typical East meets West type themes last month when I came back, but I don't know if I can anymore. Now that I've been back for a month it's a testament to the human condition that it's like I never left, except that everybody is now 6-7 months ahead of where they were and my bank account is a lot smaller than it was. Otherwise I've adjusted fine - I know longer go through bouts of panic when I can't remember the precise location of my passport, etc. I also have a MAJOR problem with this whole new Bluetooth wireless headset fad that inexplicably became popular in my absence. What are you people, cyborgs or something? You look ridiculous. Take that crap out of your ear.
I did take a goatish epilogue trip in Stockholm last weekend but I don't know if I have the energy to do the full write-up at this point. Nice city, It is a lot like Bangkok, insofar as the locals are friendly and there are 7-11's everywhere, but also somewhat unlike it, insofar as it freezing cold, really expensive, small, traffic and pollution free, organized, aesthetically pleasing, walklable, and northerly. Visit the Vasamuseum if you're ever there, btw - really cool
The biggest remaining thing from the sojourn is trying to sort through and print my photos. I've got 600 or so, most of which are pretty good (the crap photos I erased as soon as I took them. So sorting/uploading/ordering them is kind of daunting. Not daunting is the following pic (a modified version of one I took in Kashgar) which I think turned out awesome, even though I like the original (which is posted here, scroll back to July 2k5 I think to see it. Sorry for the huge photo size, btw, but I just felt like putting a high res version up so save the image and view it.

Oh Goat,
we ARE sad, please don't leave us now. How will we make it through the days without your cool analysis and hip musings...c'mon let's hear about Sweden...
I still think you should keep blogging anyway. You'll get the wanderlust again soon enough :)
Hello Miguel,
Fear not the slippage back into what we call the civilized world..
Your jaunt, pictures and musings have given all who latched on a memorable journey.
Plus the spiritual bank account is full and when that begins to become more meager, the wandering goat shall set sail on a new adventure...
... see you tomorrow for dinner...
Goat,
I am a fellow traveler/blogger like you, and currently in the midst of a world tour as well. I am a loyal reader, and I liked your account of the thai boxing experience. Super cool.
Anyhow, I am interested in swapping links with you. Your readers can explore my site and vice versa. Plus, maybe Google with reward us with some decent page rank.
Let me know what you think of my link swapping idea, as well as your thought on our trip. I can be reached at clintmvp10 on yahoo dot com, and my blog is www.schmidtworldtour.com.
Ciao from Florence,
Clint
