After getting back home there is so much stuff to catch up with (mostly with all the tv shows that I watch... which are plentifull)... so it will take some time for me to write the entire TR.

I have reduced the 1500+ pictures to about 275 (that excludes the 100 I had already put online for the first part of thailand)... and will have to work that into a somewhat Huge TR

Let me start off this long TR by discussing all the books that I have read in the time that I have been away... Usually I am not a big reader of books and I think in this entire trip I might've read as many books as I have in my entire life. But I really enjoyed reading most of the books posted below. I especially like the Dark Tower series!

Let me start off with the book-series that I spend the most time on:


This is a 7book-series of about 3000-4000 thousand pages. About 13 years ago I read the first 4 books in the series, and at that time he did not finish the series yet. If you have alot of time on your hands I would definately recommend this series, you can get really sucked into the storyline and the story itself is well written. I was looking around on the internet and the movie rights have been bought by 'bad robot' and 'jj abrams'. This will be one epic series/show/movie if they end up making it but I recommend reading the books before that happens! I feel like there is also things to discuss about this book so if you have read them and have insights on it let me know



Another 'series' I have read was the Millenium series by Stieg Larsson:

(this is the first of the 3 books)

They have also started making this into movies, but I haven't watched those yet. I thought this was well-written and makes you not want to put the book down until it is finished.


The other (mostly not that interesting) books were:
- Breaking Las Vegas (just another book about 'beating' vegas)
- Dexter by Design (seperate book then the tv-seasons)
- My Name Lon, You Like me? (A book about the thailand prostitution, gives you a different perspective on the bar-girl scene)
- Welcome to Hell (A book about the harsh Thai Prison life)
- Google Speaks (history about the owners of google, not that interesting imo)
- The Running man (Stephen King book about a future where there are games to the death..)
- Fooled by Randomness (interesting book, but fairly tough to get through and to much focus on economics for my taste)
- The Black Swan (by the same author as Fooled by Randomness (Nassim Taleb), found this much easier readable and more worth it then Fooled By Randomness. Definately some usefull information here for poker players. Would definately recommend this book.)


Tomorrow I will start with the first part of the TR, but am unsure how I will be able to include all 275 pictures but there are not many I want to cut from that selection.

Robin out.

After a little more then 4 months of traveling I am finally back home again.

In the next week I will write the TR of where I have been and what I have done. Since it is so much I will just make a post a day until I am done with the TR Now just to get a new cable so I can upload my pics...

Robin out

I have not made many updates recently, mostly because I haven't gotten any pictures online and don't want to blog about things without the visualisations.

I plan to make 3 very large TR's when I get home. (one for thailand, one for Japan and one for Dubai).
It will probably take another month before the first of those TR will be made.

Thanks for reading

I just uploaded about 100 pics from thailand onto my Facebook. (reason: much easier then doing it one at a time )

You can find me on facebook through the Leggopoker fan page if you're not on my facebook yet.
Even if you don't want to be my friend you should still be able to look at all the pictures

The day after tomorrow we're going to do a 3-day trek through the jungle, going to the highest point of thailand and visiting a hill-tribe and riding elephants and stuff

We've been here for a couple of days now and it's lots of fun.
Hard to describe it though because it's so unlike anywhere else I've been sofar.

I suggest anyone who has never been to go and see for them self what it's like. It's great seeing Matt and Jordan again. I'll just post some pictures mostly because I don't know where to start on telling everything that happened already.

First Smoothie of the trip (I have a love for smoothies)

Don't know what the exact story between Steve and this girl(?) was


Getting my feet eaten (chance is there that I will go in entirely in the future)

My new watch (had nothing with the time on it so had to get something)


Amazing dinner at Long Table with an amazing view


Part of the view


Long Live the King!


Drinks in a plastic bag with ice..


Our very own private bowling area, with 2 lanes (for just the 3 of us) and our very own private karaoke machine, where I rocked it hard... they had an amazing selection of songs and I did my thang...
They said the first song was very decent b ut after that it went downhill very fast (I did not turn the mic on the first song but they did not know that :X)


Going to get some breakfast now!

Just got back two days ago from Mexico and am already packing for the next trip!
Leaving in about 2 hours for Thailand...

Got a small backpack forcing me to take very little which is what I wanted
Only problem is that in this trip we go from very hot thailand to pretty cold Japan to hot Dubai again...

Well I guess I'll just buy stuff there!

Not sure how much internet access I will have when I'm there but I guess we'll find out!
Sorry for my lack of blogging, and it won't get better in the next two months!

Robin out!

Just like you can read in Jeffs blog I thought it would be a good idea to recap the last two months since I'm leaving mexico at the end of this week!

It all started somewhere in September/October when Jeff drove to Mexico and asked me if I had interest of coming out in January. Poker wasn't going that well last year so I told him depending on the results I had until december I would either go or not go.

Results didn't come as I hoped but I figured that I should go anyway and told him to book the house and I would be there in january! Paying upfront for everything so I didn't have a way back and it's a good thing that I did that or else I might've not gone.

During that same time I also told Matt that I would visit him while he was in thailand (which is/was from january to march). However since I was already traveling so much and have always wanted to go to Japan I asked Oord (who I was going to Thailand with) if he wanted to add that to the trip and luckily he did. And the right before we booked our flights he said he wanted to stop in dubai to see the tallest tower in the world so we had to add that in also.


I hope to get my drivers license before I came out here but for some stupid weather issues in Holland that didn't really worked out as I liked. However, I have driven alot here in mexico because my GF is a pretty reckless driver and I feel alot better when I'm driving. Although I have developed a bunch of bad 'mexican' driving habits so I will probably have to take a couple lessons before I will pass my exam in holland.

Unfortunately did not manage to get a mexican license here but will be back here in the future to get one! Hopefully I will manage to get one in Vegas when I'm there also!

I don't really want to repeat to many of the things I've posted in my previous blogs and the last few weeks not much has been happening except that I've been spending most of my time with my new GF here. Have barely played poker because it was going horrible and I figured a break would be good. Will probably not play any poker until vegas because I don't plan to bring my laptop along for the next trip.

I apologize for the lack of updates and that the ones I did make where pretty useless but don't really feel like blogging lately. If you have any questions (about specific things in mexico/ next trip/ gf/ pictures you want to see/ anything) just sent me a pm or contact me by email

To drunk to write anything meaningfull at the moment.

It's one of those times where you say: I'm never drinking ever again.. but always do

I'll see where it takes me this time.
Robin out (cold)

Has been a long time since my last blogpost, and still am suppose to post pictures from then.
I have just been really lazy with this, poker has gone bad which also doesn't put me in a mood to blog.

And have been spending every day with my new gf here which has been alot of fun
Just hanging out, watching some movies, going to the beach, going out to dinner and stuff.

Also been thinking a little more about what I want to do after all of this but going to let that boil in my head a little longer before I'm going to post that...

Don't really look forward to leaving mexico though, I like it here!

So yesterday I went to Adrian to play squash on his private court.
Apparently they have a fastball and slow ball here in mexico for playing squash and the slowball is the type of ball I'm used to play with (and which is the official ball in the netherlands) but he was used to playing with the fastball... so we started with that.. it went pretty even but I had a really hard time figuring out how the ball bounced off of the walls and stuff..

When we switched to the slowball it went much better and he didn't really have a chance However the floor was not made out of wood but some different type of material which was pretty slippery so it was hard to run alot...

Definately fun to play again but did get a blister on my hand since I haven't used a racket in a month and started off trying just to hardhit Will probably go do this a couple more times....

Jeff has still failed to sent me the pictures of last week and this week I barely took pictures.
Did go to the beach today with Karem, Kyle and Poalah. The beach was about an hour drive away and I drove about 75% of the trip and it makes me really like driving alot!

Also it might look like I can get a mexican license here because Adrian knows someone who works at the 'mexican dmv' and like most things in mexico if you pay you can get it.
There are apparently also some test you have to pass, but again, if you pay money you can skip those it looks like. Now to see if I can get a mexican passport also

Anyway, I know that my last few blogpost are very unlike my usual post because there are no pics or images or whatever but I'm definately going to start taking more pictures again and will bring my camera tonight.

To still include some thing for the non-readers... if you watched Big Bang theory you already know about the more advance rock-paper-scissors-lizard-spock... but this one is even better
