Pink Taxis, American Dollars and Same Same: Southeast Asia

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.

We got to swim with this temple in the background in Pattaya

The boat we took to get to the volcano. We had a bit of a mishap on the way back and the wing of the boat broke.
