Hi Everyone,

Our trip is winding down and in three days we have to leave :( We visited the floating market yesterday and the former capital city of Thailand, called Ayuttayah. We have so many pics and video footage to share with everyone. We can honestly say that we made the best of our time here. We will be back in Atlanta on Tuesday, Dec. 6th. See you all soon!!!!!

Angkor (Cambodge)

Hi everyone,

We just returned from Cambodia. It was amazing! The people were wonderfull and very friendly. In many ways, it has been the highlight of our trip. There are no words to truly describe the capital ciy of the Khmer Empire, Angkor. Although we have put a picture of Angkor Wat it doesn't really convey the magnitude and presence of the whole temple complex. There are several more temples than just Angkor Wat and they are all intricantely detailed and aweinspiring. We have many pics that we look foreward to sharing with you all. Our hotel was so nice and were sad to leave. Now we are back in Bangkok at Bangkok Palace room 1110 until the end of our trip. see you soon.

Chiang Mai - Day 3

hen_and_dika — Thu, 24 Nov 2005 21:06:00 GMT

Unfortunately, this is are last day in Chiang Mai. Today we began with a visit to the Orchid Garden. We than proceeded to the Mae Taeng Elephant Park where we got to ride the elephants (even out of the seat). We had a crazy mahout (elephant trainer) who liked to go off the beaten path, but it made for a very enjoyable and memorable ride. After the camp we went river rafting (bambou raft !) where Hen almost killed us. We just completed a walk through the old city of Chiang Mai and are getting ready to fly back to Bangkok this evening. We have posted pictures of our stay in Chiang Mai. Please let us know what you think. Happy Thanksgiving to everyone !

Chiang Mai-Day 2

Today I bought a HUGE guava and guess how much I paid...25 cents....but that is where the cheapness ends.... . We started this morning with a wonderful visit to the Doi Suthep Temple, located on top of a mountain overlooking Chiang Mai. It was very beautiful with a lot of gold work and intricate carvings. We even got blessed by a temple Monk [momR don't worry, we're still catholic :) . After that we were taken to the various different factories of products Chiang Mai is famous for: silk, laquer, gemstones and wood. This evening we attended a dinner-theater that served traditional northern Thai food and showcased regional dances from the Lanna empire and from the different hilltribes. Tomorrow, it's elephants ... .

We are starting with the North of Thailand, in the second largest city of Thailand, Chiang Mai.Tonight we are heading to the world famous night bazaar of Chiang Mai. The hotel we are staying at is called the Chiang Mai Orchid and it's really nice. Our room number is 501 and the hotel phone number is 053-222099 . Tomorrow we are scheduled to depart on a tour of the hillside tribes and the day after tomorrow we will be visiting the elephant park and the orchid garden. Keep an eye out for pics. Guess what? We had lunch for $8.00 for the both of us!!!!!!The guavas are amazing here and the mangoes are big. TTFN....

Transit in Korea

hen_and_dika — Mon, 21 Nov 2005 11:03:00 GMT

Hi Everyone, we made it to Korea ! The flight wasn't so bad because we slept through at least 70% of it. However, can you believe that they did not show even one movie, except a Korean one. Now we are just hanging around in Incheon Airport, until our flight this evening. We cannot leave the airport on our own, unless it's with a Tour. The fact that we are not on this tour should indicate how much it costs per persone ! So, thats all for now, see you in Thailand.
