Another Night at the Bar

DJ, Sophath & Tadashi
The other night, our friend Sophath called and invited us to "a night of drinking." That can only mean one thing: more karaoke. This time, we charged up the cameras before we left the house.

But first, we had dinner at our favorite road-side stall. The tables are on the sidewalk, and the kitchen is which in a schoolyard. The schoolyard walls make a great shelf for the cook.
Yummy Dinner
The sweet staff. Make sure you read his shirt



With full stomachs, we're off to the open-mike night style karoke bar.
Our fantastic new friends (L-R):Rottana, Hong Kong, Tadashi, Horn, Sophath, Chhuy & DJ
DJ getting ready to head on stage and sing us a song. He plays a mean guitar too.
Hong Kong rocking out to DJ's awesome singing (you can see DJ in the top corner)
DJ's awesome and his Thai/Khmer song rocked. We were all dancing.
The best beer nuts I've ever had.
Tadashi and DJ.
It was much easier to get Tadashi up there the second time around.
Hong Kong, me and Tadashi

Tadashi and Horn.
Notice the table-top draft beer. 3 liters for only $4!

Hong Kong, Tadashi, Sophath and Chhuy.
Horn driving Hong Kong back to work (!) at the hotel.
I don't think Hong Kong will be "working" too much.
I saved the best for last.  DJ sang his rockin' song on the tuk-tuk ride home. Tadashi's on percussion.  Enjoy!

Overwhelming Support for Nepal

I feel overwhelmed with gratitude by the outpouring of support from friends, family, colleagues, and students. Thanks to you, we received about a dozen boxes and two dozen bags of donations!  Not all of it was completely appropriate clothing, so some of it will be donated to local homeless shelters.  That said, the vast majority will be going to Nepal.

Shark! Jellyfish!! Turtle!!!

After my moonlit dip, I slept like a rock, as I often do when there's an ocean nearby. Unless there's also a fog horn. Or a mosque.  I woke up to use the bathroom and realized that dawn was just breaking. It was a gorgeous morning, so I decided to climb the Kanawa Island hill to watch the sunrise. It was beautiful.

ParaHawking!

A friend of ours had told us about Parahawking in Nepal. It's paragliding using hawks to find the good thermals. We watched a bunch of YouTube videos before we left, and were very excited to go once we arrived in Nepal. The parahawking is done in Pokhara, Nepal -- a 7-hour bus ride from Kathmandu. We were able to fly with two Egyptian vultures, Bob and Kevin. The great part is that we each got a falconry glove and were able to feed the vultures mid-air! In the picture at left, you see Bob on my fist as well as Tadashi and Brad in the background (Tadashi's in front). It was absolutely amazing.
