Matt’s Travel Blog

Hey ya’ll ..

I know i haven’t posted in a while but I can some up what i’ve been doing in two seconds..

1. Fighting
2. Drinking

I suppose there are socials in there and the necessary eating and sleeping. I would get a job.. but i can’t think of one i really want. I want to work with kids …
but that hasn’t panned out yet. I was waiting for a kick ass job back in Thailand but that didn’t work out unfortunatly.. so now im back wondering what to do. Basically it’s simple .. i need money. Therefore i need high paying job. Doh.

The problem is I generally don’t like any job that would pay me alot of money, i tend to like jobs that pay very little money but make you happy and feel good. Like teaching english in the poorest parts of the world or teaching tai chi …

I’ve also become a couch surfing professional. But that lifestyle isn’t so glamerous so i’m will quit that soon enough too… to whatever end.

Anyways.. I’ll end up somewhere , just gotta wait it out. In the meantime I think i might go camping.

Here are some pics since ive been back..

Ding Ding!

Toronto Streetcar.. not interesting to those in Toronto.. but to the unsuspecting it is a magical chariot of fire and demons.

Toronto scenery…

The happiest place on earth…

After a year of beer drinking i’ve turned scotish..

When i found out i had become scotish I made this face…

But Songwa!!! Whats in the fridge!?!?!

… it’s happiness.

.. I payed tax on beer i drank in your public park.

…is lame.

I am uninspired to achive financial gain..

Take that capitalism!

I’m back in the BIG city… Hooked up with some friends and my Tai Chi school, so now it feels like home again. Really my home is the Tai Chi school because my parents move so much that I’ve never been to the towns they live in. And for the past 6 years everyday I have been at the school..

I’ll take pics this week and put them up.

I suppose I should change the title of my blog now that im not in Thailand. But it doesn’t feel like i’ve stopped traveling. I just happen to be traveling and hopefully doing some work in Canada for a while. After that.. who knows.

Anyways.. I’m staying with friends(Luke and Chie) and they said this was the best photo I took on my whole trip.

Fat Dog.

Also.. random pics of me i found on friends website..

I Think this is beer drinking on the Lao boarder..

I think im in the back of a truck.

Im drunk aren’t I..

This says one thing.. sexy.

Me trying to lick an englishman.. they taste like beer.

I told you!!!

I’m back yo!

It was totally weird getting here.. being back in the same internet cafe in Japan. It didn’t feel like a year ago that I was there heading the other direction. Then flying over Canada until i got to the other side, and landing in America.

Ugh.. America sucks so bad. Thai airport nice, Japanese airport comfortable and almost fun, American airport full of fat rude americans. BLAH!

But now that i’m back I don’t know what to do. I need money but I hate work… problem..

Anyways.. if you wanna see me email me.. heres some pics i took of being back. Right now i’m at my parents place chilin out and getting rid of all my extra travel stuff.

The last thing I did before i left was get le tattoo grade.
Heres the initial pen,but once he started he just freestyled it anyways.

Ahh that familiar sting. Nothing like being stabbed with a small razor blade over and over.. and over..
This tattoo was wayyyyyy more painful then the leg one.

Even when i stood on my broken leg and tried to walk. It didn’t hurt as much as this. Getting tattoo’d on your chest made me want to not get another tattoo for a while. If he had started there I may have just said screw it.. but you gotta do what you gotta do.I actually started laughing becasue if I didn’t laugh I would have cried.

After 4 1/2 hrs.. here I am with Egg the southern Muay Thai Champ and tattoo artist. He’s got crazy stories. “I number one boxing, I number one tattoo , I number one everything! For sure!”

Once I got back.. beers were had in the ‘warm’ weather. HA! It was 15 degrees.

Then I totally fell asleep because i had been awake for 2 days and it was 5pm here, so that means 4am in Thailand.

Star trek is required at all times. Me appreciating Captain Picard in his glory. I have that shrit!!

My friend Chris.. I giant space robot created for beer drinking. He approves.

Quite Data.. The Matt is sleeping.

Heakyung making awesome food so we can call down super natural powers to party with.

Awwwwwwwww…check out that plate!

I got to Interview Dragonforce over the phone before we went down to the concert.. I didn’t have any questions but that was alright cause the guy was drunk.. and well so was I.

Pre Metal.. drinking beers.. focusing energy.

Haha.. Metal..

At the show I got my friend and I up front to take pictures. Most of mine are blurry.. his came out better.
