My Brother is Blogging from Laos
He was in Thailand before this and Australia before that. It's very exciting.

1. Thanks for posting your bro's site; I look forward to reading it!
I also want to know how he's doing it, and for how long. Did he win a lottery? :hi: Ah, to be able to travel around like that-heaven, I'd say.

3. he got laid off
and he's collecting unemployment for six months, I think he said that's how long he's going to do it for

also, our father passed away and left us with some money, mine's all gone :cry:, but I'm very happy for him

I'm also proud that I gave him the idea to do the blog.

4. He's in Hanoi now.
His latest is a photographic dissertation on free market forces in a neo-communist society, with some comedy in there too.

8. He has been volunteering at a school that needs a lot of help.
Also, Chuck's World Journal got fucked up, so check out Chuck's New World Journal instead.

9. I know this is old.
I haven't updated this in two years, but he spent 5 months in 1997 all throughout Africa (including a crazy midnight bus ride through Zimbabwe with a guy getting drunk next to him on some kind of palm wine).

And now, last week, he just left for South America.

Anyway, it's the same link:

It didn't work for awhile, but it's working again now.

Enjoy
