844 days, 20,256 hours, 1,215,360 minutes, or 72,921,600 seconds. That is the approximate duration of my world tour. I never wanted it to end and now, in a manner of speaking, I suppose it never has to. If you wish to go by country do so by clicking on one above. They are numbered in the order I visited them, more or less. If you enjoy reading about it even a tenth as much as I enjoyed living it then you will not have wasted your time. Grab a refreshing beverage, settle in a comfortable chair, and make a journey across the world, experiencing it as I did. Then get off your ass and check it out for yourself. You're not getting any younger.

Put The 'Grrrrrrr' in Swinger (Last Resort, Nepal)

April 10th, 2010 - I cannot think of a better way to conclude my Nepali extravaganza than by flinging myself off a bridge.....twice. First was a bungy followed by a canyon swing, brought to you by the Last Resort. It was radical, bra. You can see by the video that I really crushed that s#$t!!

After my adrenaline rush I passed my time relaxing at the resort......which was lovely. I even made some new friends, four medical students from the UK (three females, one male). They were taking a break from their three week surgical internship in Nepal. We got along well and they appeared to appreciate my brand of potent sarcasm. Either that or they were merely tolerating me, found me annoying, and are discussing how much of a D-bag I am at this very moment. Hard to tell. 

We laughed. We cried. Emotions ran deep. We watched Harry Potter  in High Def Helium (there was an issue with the DVD player's audio) and had long thoughtful discussions on a myriad of topics where I acquired new vocab words and phrases like 'crease', 'thrush', 'the squirts' and 'D-bag'. I met a man with three first names: Micheal Paul John. I was fortunate enough to have my five year plan laid out for me which will culminate in my adoption of a 'everything is beautiful just lay back and enjoy no need to get angry' attitude, the sporting of dreadlocks, the wearing of robes, and the tattooing of the word 'LOVE' and its translation into as many languages as will fit on my back. The 'new' Rich is coming. Brace yourself.
