Coming to NYC

Thu, 17 May 2007 05:47:12 GMT

Hope can be cruel.

Looks like I'll be back in NYC in mid-July. Only for a week or so but at least I'm giving y'all some notice this time around! Will be around the week starting the 15th of July.

And I'm bringing Erika with me this time!

Central America

So Iris and I are now in Guatemala, crossed the border from Mexico yesterday in a very shady motorised canoe. We woke up at 3am and took the bus to Tikal, one of the biggest Mayan ruins, climbed the tallest temple and watched the non-sunrise. It was amazing.

Thanks to everyone I met and saw in NY a couple weeks ago. Sorry to all those I didn't get a chance to see - next time! I have decided firmly that I want to work in NYC for a couple years in the near future so I guess there will be plenty of time then to catch up!

I've been slow updating my travel blog but there's some new entries from Italy and Croatia up and a lot more photos so if you're procrastinating, go to: www.getjealous.com/kounny

Updates on my travel blog

Tue, 26 Sep 2006 05:10:14 GMT

I've put a few updates on my travel blog: www.getjealous.com/kounny and put up quite a lot of photos. It's not up-to-date (I haven't written a word about Italy where I've been for the past couple of weeks) but it'll give you some idea of what I've been up to! I'm off to Croatia today!

Anyone in London, I'll be around toward the end of October, let me know if you want to meet up!

Travel Itinerary

So, small update - I fly out in 5 days.

First stop Singapore.

Then on to Europe where I will go to:

· Spain

· Slovenia

· Hungary

· Slovakia

· Austria

· Czech Republic

· Germany

Then on to the US for Halloween and Thanksgiving (Nov).

Then on through Central and South America for a few months (Dec- Feb).

I've created a "travel blog" which I will be using instead of xanga for the next 6 months or so.

6 continents in 6 months

Wed, 26 Jul 2006 08:14:50 GMT

I have two days left at work and soon I will be launching into my "Big Trip" - 6 continents in 6 months. (I tried to make is all 7 continents but, sadly, Antarctica slipped through my fingers.)

Many mixed emotions, which I won’t bore you with. I will, however, put up my full itinerary once it’s finalised.

Oh, anyone in London (or nearby), I’ll be wizzing by toward the end of October so drop me a line if you want to catch up.

And US people: I’ll be hovering mostly around the East coast for the majority of November so I hope there’s going to be a big Halloween party and/or a big October babies celebration. And someone please invite me to Thanksgiving. Thank you.

Apologies for not personally getting in touch with you all, been manic for ages and I’m still slapping together the final details of my trip.

I hope you have all been well and perhaps our paths will cross (again) in the upcoming months. Yay!

I've been back from China for about a week - trying to recover from my holiday! I will put up some pictures soon (hopefully!). For now you will have to make due with the profile pic which was taken at Cloud 9 on the 87th floor of JinMao Tower - the highest bar in the world!

Happy Easter!

This is my horoscope for today:

Libra

The saying 'the power of love' really sums the day up. The planetary energy is one of the best there is so don't waste it. Be with those you care for most, doing pleasurable things or engage in creative activities. It really shouldn't matter what you do so long as its pleasurable, happy and loving. Gather family, friends and loved ones and have a great day!

Unfortunately, it's 7am, Sunday morning and I'm at work (again) and probably will be all day - wasting away that planetary energy! Have worked a string of 1-2 am-ers this week, trying to tie everything up before flying off. No fun at all.

At least I'm seeing Kanye West with "loved ones" tonight and then I'm off early tomorrow morning to Shanghai!

And I just had a Venti soy mocha so I'm pretty chipper! Love the caffiene. And I love you guys!!

Spent St. Pat's out in the Rocks last night - full of pubs full of revellers, downing the Little Leprechauns (okay, just one!). Much fun.

Woke up with a cold but have a farewell party tonight and will later hit the Cross to hang out with the US NAVY. After all, I have to be a good hostess and be very hospitable to my fellow country-men. ;)

Just over a week until I'm in Shanghai!

Have a good weekend everyone!
