Lariam Induced Dreams: Installment 1

Because Cambodia is a malaria risk, Ryan and I are taking anti-malarial medications. Ryan opted for the ordinary daily version with few side effects, while I chose to enhance my adventure (and your reading pleasure) with Lariam, the weekly medication with wonderful side effects such as hallucinations and vivid dreams. My first one involved a photo shoot with myself and some other guy, each of us wearing one half of a kangaroo suit. I was the top half, but I had no kangaroo head. The shoot was taking place on the world's tallest cliff. My job was to lie on my stomach, grab this bizarre handle below and hang upside-down from the cliff like I was in a handstand, but hanging over the edge. This was, of course, very scary... I was trying REALLY hard to smile and make the photo come out nicely, but it was really hard to balance up there like that (especially in half a kangaroo suit) and I inevitably lost my grip and plummeted towards a river below. Luckily I woke up before I hit the ground... :)
