Hi Folks,
I thougth I was all done posting on the travel log for a while…but then I got the idea to post some videos from throughout the trip. Some are goofy…some are beautiful…all require some patience while they download! Enjoy!

Paris, France – view from the Pantheon (15.91mb)
Paris, France – Eiffel Tower, second floor (53.48mb)
Paris, France – The Eiffel Tower is blinking :) (10.25mb)
Prague, Czech Rep. – Well, what can I say. Sometimes the backpack travel (hostel) scene is like this…young and just having a good time. (27.76mb)
Cesky Crumlov, Czech Rep. – This is a UNESCO listed town in southern Czech. (33.18mb)
Brno, Czech Rep. – Just a fountain that I like in a mall in Brno… (10.37mb)
Stary Smokovic, Slovac Rep. – The highest point that we got in the High Tatras mountains. Nice! (43.65mb)
Dubrovnic, Croatia – Another UNESCO listed town…almost completely restored after the war. Really a nice place! (50.73mb)
Poros, Greece – The “whirling dervishes” we called ourselves: Marcus, Sindy, Marlene, Laurel, and me. Riding scooters around the island. (40.87mb)

Pamukkale, Turkey – Known for it’s calcium springs. (34.47mb)
Istanbul, Turkey – There are stay cats all over the city. Jen and I got some little fish by the river and walked around feeding the cats with varying success. (19.51mb)
Kiev, Ukraine – They’ve got some stinkin’ deep subways here. And I thought it was interesting to watch the humanity go by. (25.81mb)
Kiev, Ukraine – I had a fabulous time at Safe Haven. Here’s a few of the guys goofin’ around right before I left. (46.04mb)
Trans Siberian, Russia – This is what it looked like the whole time. Snow, birch trees, and my cabin companion from Irkutsk. This leg (Moscow-Irkutsk) was 3 days on the train. (24.35mb)
Listvianka, Russia – Lake Baikal: 20% of the earth fresh water and beauty to match! (23.27mb)
Trans-Mongolian, Mongolia – Here’s another window into the travel life. After my time in Russia, I was thrilled to find a few English speakers on the train! Some of these guys have posted comments: Aaron is the blond guy and Stewart is the one with the beard. (20.57mb)
somewhere, Mongolia – Our first night of 6 in the Mongolian wilderness we got a little throat singing concert right in our ger. (27.97mb)
somewhere, Mongolia – Us and our guides playing basketball with some local kids. (31.43mb)
White Lake, Mongolia – After driving west for 2-3 days, we finally got to the White Lake. A little energy release sliding around on the ice. (13.32mb)

somewhere, Mongolia – We were on horseback for two days heading further west from White Lake. (23.98mb)
somewhere, Mongolia – I think this ger camp was the highlight of the trip. The kids here were hilarious. Even the adults would hang around until we told them we had to sleep. Amazing memories from a place very far from home…in many ways. (22.26mb)
Beijing, China – Beijing’s still got plenty of bikes! I rented one to ride to the universities that I wanted to visit. (38.23mb)
Manila, Philippines – My first experience in ‘economy’ class from Manila to Puerto Princesa. It was a blast and I still keep in touch with some people I met on the boat. One overnight. (55.85mb)
El Nido (Palawan), Philippines – The ride from Puerto Princesa to El Nido was a like a 10 hour amusement ride. It had rained a lot the week before and the roads were really muddy. Here’s the first (failed) attempt by our bus driver to get up a mud hill. (18.79mb)
El Nido (Palawan), Philippines – The second time he made it and everyone in the area scrambled to get on (their rides were still stuck at the bottom). (11.56mb)

El Nido (Palawan), Philippines – My buddy in El Nido. His mom worked at the restaurant. He’d follow me around until I gave up and played with him a while. (15.51mb)
El Nido (Palawan), Philippines – The diving and snorkeling near El Nido was the best I saw on my trip. This is a video riding out to the first dive site. (28.34mb)
Coron, Philippines – An afternoon riding cycles around the island with a Canadian guy I met. Earlier in the day I ran in to a mudslide up to my gas tank and (separately) broke off my gear shift pedal. A fun day. :) (11.15mb)
Bangkok, Thailand – This is that great longtail boat ride into the recesses of Bangkok…right before I got ripped off by the guy sitting next to me. (21.62mb)

Singapore – A day after the Chinese New Year, the celebration was still going strong in Singapore. (14.74mb)
Ao Nang, Thailand – The island formations in this area are amazing. Ao Nang felt like the Jersey shore…a nice little family vacation spot…with an amazing backdrop. (21.52mb)
Bangkok, Thailand – Back in Bangkok. I couldn’t believe how long the line was for Rotiboy buns. I think I should start the first US franchise! (23.45mb)
