  • Thinking and Drinking Virgin Run

    November 15, 2019 in Thailand ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C

    Aloha, anther great run in the mountains around Chiang Mai. A long hill up kicked most of the hashers in the pants before winding down to a beautiful 9 tier waterfall. We had to find unseen marks of flour that had been washed away and some helpful rangers cleaned up a lot of paper shreds for us too. A full circle and then a trip to the river for some thai food and I was blessed by Poseidon himself to earn my virgin hash shirt from The thinking drinking H3!! On On

  • LONGEST RUN of the trip so far!!!

    November 16, 2019 in Thailand ⋅ ☀️ 30 °C

    Aloha, another grand day of hashing in Chiang Mai. I caught the songthaew around 12:30 for the long run (which said about 10k)…...about 4 wrong turns later and an hour and a half we end up in the country!! With one beer stop halfway we made our way thru the country for a whopping 13 + km run.....I am sore but the beer after helps. Ice again for the down downs which conveniently was the end of the ball breaker run as well. Those poor wankers ran a 26k over some hefty mountains but we think everyone made it. Back to the hotel at dusk to go to the night market for some great food and a show....I didn't bring my phone with me but the show was some very pretty ladyboys doing their thing!! I am sure there will be more shows while I am in Thailand so pics later! On On

  • Last Hash of 2019

    December 29, 2019 in Cambodia ⋅ ☀️ 32 °C

    Aloha!! So ending 2019 with the Phnom Penh Hash house harriers 1500th run!! Cambodia was dry! So we met up at noon down by the waterfront to load up onto some boats with plenty of ice, beer, food and shenanigan friendly hashers for an hour ride up river to an island. The runners set off on a 12 kilometer trail but yours truly loves the falsies so I ended up with an extra 1.69 kilometers!! wink wink! So the trail was mostly flat and dry. So dry at one point I was stepping in so much dust I felt like I was walking on the moon...or these are the thoughts I get while running lol....At one point I had to jump into some prickers as a cow with some big horns came charging at me!! Lesson learned is to walk by things with horns!! It was a very flat trail and the runners found little trouble making their way to the ice cold beer at the end. The walkers however ended up doing 9 kilometers (suppose to be 7) and were lost on the other side of the island!! A few tuk tuks later and some very grumpy people made their way to the beer and food where the frowns were turned upside down. What is a hash without a little drama! So a boat ride back and some hummus and soju makes a very excellent day!! ON on

  • Mt Lamlam!

    January 8, 2020 in Guam ⋅ ⛅ 29 °C

    Highest peak on Guam! Also boasts that because it starts from the Mariana Trench, it is ACTUALLY the largest mountain in the world! But super easy climb! The best part was all the butterflies! It was like being in a butterfly house, I tried to video but they are too fast for me! Afterwards of course we hit up a pirate bar! But the hotwings needed more heat and the server brought us six different flavors! We are now best friends 🤣🤣! On to the next adventure!Read more

    Just mucking around on an island! How unlike us!! AND its HASH time!! great views of the ocean! East Timor looks similar to Hawaii with the mountains but the economics are Not the same!! People were lovely, friendly and super happy to have visitors around to show off their island style! I have been on Antibiotics for 5 days so sober me while around hashers! It was a lot of fun and we got treated to a LImo ride!! Being very classy in East Timor! Dili Dili!! Hazukashii got called in to a 3 some party drink with some Canadians but opted for a beer shower instead!! Shout out to our new friend Cory and his wife! The Hashpitality was amazing and I suggest a trip out there if you ever get the chance!! Sorry this was a late post but the internet is very spotty out their! I didn't get a chance to scuba but on to the next island! Port Vila Vanuatu! ON OnRead more

  • VANUATU!

    January 26, 2020 in Vanuatu ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C

    Aloha Port Vila,

    We have been in Port Vila for a couple days! So far this may be up there with Taiwan as one of my favorites. We haven't hashed yet but seems to be very jungly! So flying in thursday we sent a message to the local hashers and they said the magic words back! KARAOKE!! So we walked down less than a mile to the War Horse Saloon for some singing and drinks!! I just needed to let everyone know we were there so kicking it off with Its Raining Men seemed like the right choice!! A great time, we met hashers, Hazukashii sang some country songs with the bar owner and after just enough fun we headed back for some sleep! The next day we checked out the waterfront and I signed up for Scuba! And yesterday was a day of scuba! Great spot, the water was super clear! Aaron my scuba guide was a local Vanuatuan who along with the rest of the guides kept the whole boat lauphing and having a great time! I was very impressed by the coral out here as well as schools of fish everywhere! Today we are heading out to drive around the island so more posts to come!Read more
