Where is Matt right now?

DECEMBER 23, 2011 - Today I'm learning to dive at Fun and Sun Dive and Travel on Malapascua, Philippines (http://bit.ly/vAoQjP). In three days, we be swimming with thresher sharks. Merry Christmas to me :)
The good folks at VBS.tv are, in my opinion, some of the best documentarians in the world. They go after ridiculous and unthinkable stories gonzo style, resulting in a humanistic view of incredible tragedies, and incredibly weird topics. A couple months ago I posted the riveting, and extremely disturbing, Vice Guide to Liberia. Next, in a series of VBS videos I plan to post, is this documentary on a service that offers a simulated illegal border crossing from Mexico into the United States, complete with a shady ‘coyote’ guide and potential arrest.

Man, that’s weird… I’d never heard of that place before but I just Googled it for a little more info. I can hardly believe it’s real! Gunshots, fake deaths… What a fucking weird state of affairs.

Yep, the world just keeps getting stranger and stranger. I've recently been considering starting a group travel blog about strange travel. Would you be interested in something like that?
