A few deep breaths before the plunge

Here it goes, no turning back now.

Prepare yourselves to be informed, educated, and shocked at the amount of simple grammatical errors I will make whilst chronicling my journey in the east. I'll attempt to post photos of everything from shocking poverty, the people, religion, the palaces and the unique and awkward poses I astound the locals with. Ca va? You still there?
I will try to amaze you with my prose and lengthy insight into what I see, what I do, how I do it, where I do it and the resultant irregularity of my bowel movements. I didn't call this blog "bowman-in-motion" for nothing. Hope all you readers can consume, stomach, and digest that type of humour.

I am accompanied by my tall, lanky, lanky friend Taylor. If you thought I was tall and lanky, you were wrong folks! This guy takes the cake, and it doesn't go to his hips.

Throughout these months, I will attempt to keep my upbeat, cheery, sense of humour. Feel free to drop me a line to boost my spirits or keep me updated on your Occidental lives. Though internet access may be as rare as BigMacs (ohhh BigMacs), I'd appreciate to hear from you via Facebook, email, or comments on this blog.

As for the trip- back to purpose of this thing- on October 30th I fly out of JFK airport in New York. I'll try to write upon my arrival, but BOY, will my arms be tired! If all goes well I'll be in India on the morning of 'All Saints Day', Nov. 1st. I have a six month visa for India. From there, I'll make my way farther east to SE Asia. The duration of my escapades will vary depending on finances and averaged overall joy in regard to each region. A map of India will be found in a link on this blog. Maybe I'll even draw a line demarcating my route!

Lastly, for now at least, if you have been to the region(s), give me some of your insight, tips, do-and-don'ts, you know?
