second best thai discovery: thai KFC sells ice corn sundaes. with corn syrup. 

third best discovery: KO CHANG ISLAND. holy moly this place was cool. swam in crystal clear blue water, slept in a hammock, watched my lady susan get a tattoo, got propositioned to star in a documentary on love by a suave old man, who also offered to fly me to spain for the movie premiere. (catch? i had to perform naked.) oh yeah, suuurreee!

BALI, baby!!

 kuala lumpur, malaysia-> bali, indonesia

bali. the home of the nicest place i've ever stayed at and the most ghetto/exciting guesthouse i've ever seen.

bam! guesthouse number one: woah. i seriously stayed at this place. my buddies and i rented a whole house, which had two floors and a private courtyard. every inch that wasn't taken by beautifully crafted architecture was filled with lush gardens. holy moly, this place was beautiful. 

guesthouse number two: yes ma'am. those walls are made of woven grass and the floors are made of plywood. quaint right? who cares if there are holes in the floor, the sheets don't match, and it smells like sweat, when you're only paying $1.00 a night and it has a view like this. 

oh the places, these chacos have been. :)

bali most definitely has the cutest 5ft tall taxi drivers. 

terrifyingly beautiful.

when you meet a man in the jungle with a head wrap, red teeth and twitches, and he asks you to come with him to see secret buddhist caves. there is only one way to respond. pass your camera to your friend and say, "hells yes, crazy old man. i would love to follow you into the abyss."

bali had the coolest traditional dances. the costumes! the music!

 oh, hells yes we took hamball sunset jumping photos.  

MALAYSIA, oh yeah!

seoul, south korea -> kuala lumpur, malaysia
first stop: our layover only lasted 12 hours, but it was full of delicious foods, giant trees, and amazing colors.

                               (my traveling buddies and all our bags at the seoul airport)

(the trees!!!)

(curry and potato stuffed naan with dipping sauces!)

(rice, boiled egg, sardines, and chili sauce complimented with freshly blended fruit juice)

(was walking around the market and spotted this man who was working a stall. wearing only his boxers and some rubber boots. obviously using some alternative tactics to lure in customers.)

(what, WHAT!!!??? apparently there's a convenience store chain in kuala lumpur named after me.)

(more market adventures: big pimpin. this man was just chilling in his shop playing his drum. not like there is space to do much else.)

(the "TEKSIs"(taxis) were totally pimped out here.)

(this town was covered in graffiti. it turned me crazy because i wanted to stop and check each one out. once i started getting my feel of the city, i noticed the same name being tagged EVERYWHERE. kos. seriously every 100ft i would see their name. walls, poles, fences, you name it. i loved imagining what a badass this kid must be.)

(the malaysian ringgit)
