Yesterday was such an exciting day!!!  I booked my ticket to Shenzhen/Hong Kong to depart next Tuesday with plans to meet up with Wendy when I got there.  Those plans have completely changed now and I might end up going to Egypt for part of my trip.  ... Read more >

Video Note:  Wendy and I were goofing off at Heart to Heart.  There is a big playroom on the roof of the building and they had these little bikes for the kids.  We decided to be big kids and rode the bikes down a ramp.  :) Patrick and I decided to return ... Read more >


The pandas are my neighbors...

We got the to Shaanxi Wild Animals Rescue and Research Center yesterday.  The pandas are so cute...they are so fat and lazy.  All they do is eat, poop, and sleep all day long.  It's a nice life to have, especially when you have someone cleaning after ... Read more >

Cold water has never tasted so good....

I'm almost thinking that Xi'an is hotter than Cambodia!!!  Today was extremely hot and we rode the bus during our trip out today.  The bus was crowded with sweaty and smelly people!  Taxis might be the way to go for the future.  It's only 1 yuan to ride ... Read more >

My trip to Xi'an is starting out great so far!!!   We started off the day with breakfast and orientation (boring, but needed to be done).   After orientation, we all went out to visit the Bell Tower and Drum Tower.   Each tower has exactly what it ... Read more >

What an early start to the morning!!!  I had to get up at 5am for my flight to Phnom Penh.  My cousin and her husband picked me up from the hotel at 6:15am and we got to the airport around 6:45am.  It turned out that my other cousins were already at ... Read more >

My time in Cambodia is finally coming to an end.  I'm leaving in a couple of hours to the airport.  I created a video with some pictures that were taken during the trip as a recap for those who might be too lazy to go through all the pictures. :) One ... Read more >

Learning about my past....

Kratie/Sambok:   Day 1 The drive to Kratie took awhile because the roads were so bad.   We got to Kratie around 1pm and checked into a hotel to rest for a couple of hours.   Kratie is poorer and dirtier than Phnom Penh and Siem Reap.   I haven't ... Read more >

Another hot and steamy day!!!  Wow...how do the locals survive here?  By mid-morning, I'm ready to pass out and my skin is so icky and sticky. We started out the morning at a temple called Ta Phrom Temple.  This temple was built in the late 12th and ... Read more >

What an adventure getting to Siem Reap!!!  It seemed like there was some force trying to prevent us from getting there...breaking down the car every chance it could.  The first incident happened early on when we had to fill the radiator with water since ... Read more >
