Amusing things in asia

Asian food in asia is amazing, as you would expect, i've been stuffing my face full of curries and other thai food of late, not to mention the amazing mangos and pineapples that are everywhere. However one of the other food highlights of asia might be a little unexpected: it's McDonalds. Good old mcdo and KFC in asia are DELICIOUS. Those of you that have been here know exactly what i'm talking about, not only is everything crispier, its also tastier, and i wish we could get those regional specialties back home. Mcdo serves spicy crispy chicken wings here... it's so freaking good i could eat it everyday (...i did for 4 days straight).


Also, in asia you'll see tons of street carts serving food, typically they'll get you sick the first few times you have them. But after you evacuate your bowels a couple of times and adjust to the bacteria zone, street carts are the cheapest, and sometimes the best food you'll get out here. NYC streetcarts are shit compared to this, skewers actually have taste, and cost like 20cents. Ok, the cleanliness part might be a bit off putting, but you can guess your way around the good carts. Some carts you should obviously avoid, unless you have a death wish:


Speaking of sushi, im friggin excited to be headed to singapore later this week. Ending 'trips' in large cities has become a de-facto tradition for me now. Can't wait to have sushi and dimsum and everything else that i can't have in thailand. Also theres the bit about visiting haomiao & fan, who i already met with at full moon party. Full moon party was insane, easily 20k people on a beach hopping up and down to techno. You can find long stretches of guys taking a piss in the ocean, people doing the nasty in the ocean itself, and tons of fire dancers. At one point, we found someone who was waving a canadian flag, which led us to a huge group of canadians all singing the anthem, which attracted even more canadians. It was definitely a unique experience that had to be done at least once. Probably wouldn't go again unless i'm with a lot of friends though.

Anyways, i'll end this post with a funny picture of what the stray dogs here do. They're literally everywhere on this island, and because its so hot and they're furry (duh), you'll find them in 7-elevens doing this:
