Comments on: Riding the Bamboo Train Express: Choo Choo! http://www.endsofearth.com/2009/10/riding-the-bamboo-train-express-choo-choo/ Solitude is impractical and yet society is fatal ---Ralph Waldo Emerson Wed, 21 Jul 2010 08:29:58 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: Brook http://www.endsofearth.com/2009/10/riding-the-bamboo-train-express-choo-choo/comment-page-1/#comment-580 Brook Thu, 05 Nov 2009 06:43:14 +0000 http://www.endsofearth.com/?p=828#comment-580 Gabe, nice to hear from you! It has been a while. Tia Margo got me up to speed a little. Mainly I lived well below my means, saving and investing what was left, then I packed 25 pounds of gear in a backpack, and went overseas. Now that I'm back in the US, I'm living at home to keep my expenses down. If you go to SE Asia, you can live for way less than here. In Vietnam, I found a couple places where I was paying $15/day total for the hotel room, motorbike, gas, food, and entertainment. Gabe, nice to hear from you! It has been a while.

I didn't ask to drive. I just did it. Controlling planes and bamboo trains is pretty much exactly the same, but different. I need to get someone to translate the video for me...I'm sure it was a good time for everyone! I cut out over 20 minutes of video including the deliberations and a "conversation" while rolling down the rails. I did not understand any of what they said and they didn't understand me...so to answer your question, no they didn't know my background. None of that gets me too far in this part of the world. Surprisingly, the B-52 drink is HUGE in bars over here, even though nobody knows what a B-52 is. I don’t know if they were surprised or not. I didn’t ask to drive. I just did it.

Where they surprised that you wanted to drive, or did they make you drive? It's probably really similar to a B-52, just a little bit more technological. Did they know that you are a B-52 driver?
