As it is now exactly 6 months since I left home, I thought I'd a) give you the quiz answers and b) do a random roundup.
So, quiz answers:
1. 25th birthday: Kampot, Cambodia
2. Easy-riders: Dalat, Vietnam
3. 'Man of the Forest' = Orang utan, 'Dutch monkey' = munyet belanda = proboscis monkey
4. Thai king was celebrating his 80th birthday and the 60th anniversary of his accession to the throne when I was in Thailand
5. Mt Kinabalu: 4095.2m
6. I did a cookery course in Luang Prabang, Laos that Jamie Oliver once did
7. In my 5 1/2 months in SE Asia I stayed in a total of 68 different guesthouses/homestays.
