Eye of Modok

Now here’s an idea whose time has come… put people inside a giant beach ball and let them float on the water. It actually is a lot of fun as even standing is a major challenge, let alone attempting cartwheels as I did. In this clip, you can also see Salomae and Blysse making a go at it. Salomae managed to stand fairly well, but neither of them went quite as crazy as me.

The downside? The overpowering stench of stinky socks and nearly passing out as my antics caused me to use up my air faster than normal.

As I was staying with a friend who lives near the maglev station in Pudong, Shanghai this last weekend, I took the maglev into town. A bit of a closet trainspotter, I have to admit I found the whole experience quite a thrill! It was even more fun watching my fellow trainspotters filming, of all things, the speedometer!!

Here’s a cool picture of me taken by my dear friend Christopher Wold when we were in Vietnam for his wedding. If you haven’t read the post I wrote about this Vietnamese wedding before, you really owe to yourself to do so, because that was one heck of a wedding!!
