Sorry about the cheesy title, it was just too easy, but the more I try to think of a better one, the more I like this one... Anyways, I'm sitting in a coffee shop in Kuala Lumpur finishing this post after roughly two weeks in Chiang Mai, Thailand's second largest city. Yes, I'm doing it Star Wars style with Part 2 coming before Part 1. This might not make much sense, but I'm not done with Part 1 and it's been a while since I gave you something good.

My (Brief) Experience With Medical Tourism

Many times when diving water will get into the ear canal as a result of your ear being saturated with water, causing difficulty hearing. After my last dive I was having some difficulty hearing and thought that perhaps it was simply water still caught in my ear canal, so naturally I felt like I should clean it out. Bad idea.

My trip thus far has been loads fun and incredibly enlightening, however, I realized that there were many skills I hoped to learn in my life and that I could learn on this trip as well. One of those happened to be scuba diving. Diving had been a dream of mine, well that is up until I tried it out during summer camp I attended in middle school...
