I believe in Harvey Dent

July 25th, 2:36am - Lub'd Hostel, Bangkok, Thailand

So I'm sitting in the lobby of this random hostel, soon to meet a girl on the same Tokyo flight as me, and then off to the airport for an early flight in the AM. Believe it or not, we met going on the same flight from Krabi to Bangkok two days ago, and then realized we were traveling further together. For those interested in such vagaries of fate, we met because I had a gigantic book in my hand in the boarding lounge, and we soon discovered our mutual love for Terry Pratchett.

It is thus at 2:45am, sitting in a random hostel in Bangkok, watching two random chinese guys play chess next to me, that I ask you the following question: Why are you so serious??

I just went with Faisal, a guy I've been crashing with that I know from NU, to the Siam Paragon theater for the 11pm showing of The Dark Knight. And let me tell you... hells yea! It is such an amazing movie that I wanted to take these 10 minutes I had available to me to blog about it. Great movie. (The 'Why are you so serious?' question is a Dark Knight reference, as is the 'I believe in Harvey Dent' line.)

Ok, I'm off to the airport soon, and then onward from there to Tokyo. I just found out I won't be able to crash with two of my NU buddies, as their room is pretty small. Arg, if anyone knows a good place to stay in Tokyo ;). But then again, i'm not worried. After all, why should I be so serious?
