The Team


Only two Americans are on the team, me and Zak, who is from Manhattan Beach, CA. Zak just finished medical school and since he was already $180,000 in debt from student loans, he decided to spend an extra $5,000 or so having a blow out in Southeast Asia before his "real" life begins. The oldest team member, Scott, is 39 - from Australia. He brought along a close friend also named Scott. These two Australians have an outrageous and boisterous sense of humor. Sarah and Becky are from England and are twenty-something and recent college grads. They are spending four months traveling around Asia before deciding on a career. Robert and Kathrine are from Lichtenstein and are on their honeymoon. One Canadian girl from Calgary (engineer on vacation) and two Canadian girls from Montreal. That should total 11 members.

I'm doing ok keeping up with these youngsters on the bikes but I don't pretend to try to keep up with them when it comes to night life!

I'm going to miss them when this is over.

Joel,
Just read your Apr. 12 blog and noticed that you now list only 11 members of the group. On Apr. 5 you indicated that there were 12. Did one leave? Was the 12th person the guide? Every day we look forward to reading your blog. Missed you over the weekend. Keep safe.
