It's a bit delayed, but I am home from vacation.
Oh man. Everyone should go on vacation right now to Southeast Asia.
It was awesome.
I am so excited to go back sometime.
I can not even tell you how rough it was leaving the warm tropical weather to come back to the snow and ice of Korea.
Just a few highlights:
- Seeing the floating villages of Tonle Sap Lake in Cambodia
- Seeing the temples of Siem Riep in Cambodia-- I have wanted to see those for a long time. Its hard to believe I actually got the chance to, and they were even better than I had expected
- Swimming in the ocean--Being from Kansas, this does not happen often
- Riding an elephant in the jungle!!
- Eating authentic pad thai, in Thailand
- Experiencing a relatively painful Thai Massage -- "happy tears"
- Visiting the temples in Bangkok
- Wearing SAME SAME shirts!
- Riding a pony up the active Tagaytay Volcano in the Philippines
- Kayaking down a river, and then swimming under a waterfall in Pacsanjan
- Seeing a monkey on the side of the road
The trip as a whole was really too great to be captured in pictures, but I took a million anyways.
