We wake at 4:30am, brush our teeth and make our way over to our friends who are stationed in front of the tent shop, already goofing around. We were able to piece together the night before that the group of 5 is working on their senior project together ... Read more >

When we last wrote Alex and I were on our way to the market in Surin to purchase some items to make Hor Mok  at Pirom-Aree's. We asked Aree if she would be willing to help us make this dish and if we could use her kitchen to do it. After a little ... Read more >

Inevitable Angkor

CAMBODIA | Thursday, 18 Feb 2010 | Views [573]

Bangkok and Beyond Part II

CAMBODIA | Saturday, 6 Feb 2010 | Views [665]

A Tuk Tuk from the train takes us to the Thai/Cambodian border. The mass of moto drivers, beggars and hawkers yelling and tugging us is only a glimps of what we are about to walk into. After we stamp "out" of Thailand we are hoping to turn ... Read more >
