A haphazard chronicle of my inevitable misadventures during a year in Vietnam and points east.

p.s. I'll be pitifully grateful if you send me email during my exile: TravelerKaty@hotmail.com

It's my birthday today!

Yep, I'm 36, which seems quite old to me. Well, not old in the absolute sense, but it seems like I should be more settled and have more focus at the grand age of 36. I think we're all aware that I haven't much focus at this point, since I've been wandering aimlessly around Asia for several months and have never had any interest in careers that make any money. The other thing is that most of the people I meet travelling around are in their mid to late 20's, and though it isn't unusual to meet backpackers older than me, I'm tired of usually being the oldest.

And that's why today is the day I start lying about my age. I've decided that 32 is a good age -- not too outside the realm of possibility given my looks, and yet young enough to make a year of directionless international meandering look more acceptable.

So happy 32nd birthday to me! How does it feel to be the oldest sister now, Amanda?
