			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So er, about the contest. Sorry about the lack of updates, but I have been extremely busy. I just came back from Malaysia a few days back when <a href="http://loutianren.blogspot.com/2009/04/epic-2009-malaysian-grand-prix-road_10.html" title="The epic 2009 Malaysian Grand Prix road trip part two.">I went there to watch the 2009 Malaysian Grand Prix</a>.

<p>So, I&#8217;m kind of a bit busy to look at all the photos submitted. But rest assured that the contest is being abandoned. I will judge the photos and distribute the prizes as soon as I have the time.</p>
<p>In the mean time, the contest is still open. Until I  judge the photos and distribute the prizes, you can still submit your photos.</p>

<p style="text-align: center"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/22869325@N02/3311910124/" title="HPIM1845 by tian_ren, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3564/3311910124_2076423929.jpg" alt="HPIM1845" width="460" /></a></p>
<p>On my first day I made friends with an elephant.</p>
<p>Yes. A fucking Elephant. Right in the middle of Khao San Road, the place we were staying at and the capital of Thailand.</p>
<p>Khao San Road is way awesome and a must go for anybody going to Bangkok. Going to Bangkok without going to Khao San Road is like being a fucking dickhead. Khao San Road is bustling with life nd filled to the brim with people from all the three corners of the world.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/22869325@N02/3311079981/" title="HPIM1846 by tian_ren, on Flickr"></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/22869325@N02/3311079981/" title="HPIM1846 by tian_ren, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3437/3311079981_b59338f11a.jpg" alt="HPIM1846" width="460" /></a></p>
<p>This photo doesn&#8217;t really do the Road justice. It was taken at a quiet part of Khao San Road and at four AM. But it&#8217;s the only picture of Khao San Road I have. Who the hell spends a vacation taking photos?</p>
<p>Khao San Road is the shit. They sell everything, from switchblades to fake IDs and fake everythings. If you buy something for $99.99 back home, you can find it here for $9.99. The beers are cheap, the pubs are awesome and the street food is fit for Gods.</p>
<p>Everywhere, you see tourists sporting the distinctive Mark Of A Foreigner:  Dreadlocks or braided hair.</p>
<p>Seriously. For every ten tourists you see, five have either dreads or braids. Even I got my self some.</p>

It appears that we are not going on an epic Indochina trip anymore.  Khoon has to come back on the 24th for his stupid exams. That leaves us only four days.
So we would most likely be just hanging around in Thailand.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Coming this 20th February, Me and my friends shall be embarking on an epic journey though Indochina. We will be covering four cities in three countries, using every form of transport known to men.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.worldatlas.com/webimage/countrys/asia/indochina.gif" alt="Indochina map yo!" align="middle" height="425" width="425" /></p>
<p>The pilgrimage will start from Singapore, where we would take a dirt cheap flight to Bangkok. It cost like fifty bucks. Don&#8217;t you just love social unrest?</p>
<p>We would hang around in Bangkok for a day or two, eating baluts and watching muay thai fights.</p>
<p>Then we would take a train to Aranyaprathet, a few kilometers from the                Cambodian frontier. The train ride is also dirt cheap, it&#8217;s less than two dollars.</p>
<p>After that, we would cross the border with a tuk-tuk. At the other side of the border, we would take a taxi to Siem Reap.</p>
<p>Once in Siem Reap, we would hang around looking at their boring temples and also stay the night.</p>
<p>After which, we would take a boat to Phnom Penh. Yes, a boat.</p>
<p>From Phnom Penh, we would take a bus to Ho Chi Minh City, Nam.</p>
<p>I have traveled plenty before, but this is the first time I am going to be crossing borders in crappy third world countries. I am awesomely psyched.</p>
<p>Wish me luck and hope I don&#8217;t get robbed and assfucked.</p>
