My wife loves shopping and was much occupied while I just lounged around at one of the convenient hotels in Chiang Rai…such a beautiful place.

2010-07-21T23:30:41.628-07:00

Why are you advocating to bargain with these poor people, haggling for a $2 meal. These people have nothing. You must be so miserable. You should pay more than they ask.

Aren't those waterfalls something else? That rowboat was happily un-sunken when we saw it on the 7th of June: http://www.flickr.com/photos/dragonspeed/4697009611/in/set-72157624150660692/

It sounds like we had a similar trip around Central Europe! What an interesting area. We didn't visit Lake Bled although from hearing about it and seeing your photos it makes me want to go there next!

It's interesting to read someone else's view on the town and mine. :) We were just there around the same time (assuming your blog date matches the time you were in Hallstatt)

What a lovely little town... I think I have the IDENTICAL picture of the halite crystals.

i took the train to luxor as an overnight trip and as a day trip. the day trip was much preferrable to me. it took all day but it was like going through a countries living room, very interesting views. i think of egypt as a linear country, i.e., most of the prople in egypt live along the nile, and the train takes you through the middle of it.

I basically fell in love with archaeology here. Now look at me... Next week I get to to go Tennessee to dig a lot of holes in a straight line. But, seriously, it looks like you guys are having an amazing time. One totally unrelated question, which email address are you checking there? I sent you an email and I am not sure you got it.

2010-06-05T12:46:56.245-07:00

There was a lot of up and down, but it wasn't too bad. We spent about 5 hours doing it and I'd call it easy to moderate at that pace. I talked to people who did it in 3 hours and said it was quite strenuous at that pace.

Hey just curious, how strenuous was this hike?

crazy, we went to the summer palace a couple days ago and it was SO empty!! The forbidden city on the other hand... was a total zoo!

I can't believe he already got sick from the air! seems sort of fast, didn't you JUST get here? LOL! I have a sore throat & I think it has to do with the air.

Luckily today was nice!!

I just moved to china and I speak chinese - even then, its hard to know what I am ordering because the food is so diverse.

The Singapore offers a lot of attractions for visitors. The National Orchard Gardens and botanical parks are great places for fresh fruits and flowers. The art museums in Singapore provide classic arts and culture of the country.

2010-04-15T05:18:25.873-07:00

In an interesting example of media biases, this was the first I had heard of any violence in Bangkok, and when I went to my typical news source (the stuff that shows up in my email browser, and links from there to more thorough sources), I still didn't see anything about this; it was only when I resorted to a Google search that I was able to find an article about recent events in Bangkok. Weird.

Glad you guys are safe and still having fun. I bet that, if I told him about it, T would totally love the idea of putting fish and turtles in the fountain. :)

The Nong Khiaw is a place of fascination and scenic beauty. It is surely a refreshing and eye catching place for travelers. The mountains and valleys are incredible and so fabulous.

Congratulations to Mary! She is so brave! Although I'd like to think differently,I'd probably I'd be back on the first plane back to the US at that point :)

I've really enjoyed the blog.

I hear the weather in eastern Iraq is beautiful this time of year. There is also the bonus that if you are imprisoned, the three (assuming the baby is born in prison) could be an international headline. Then you could write a book about it. Everyone loves reading about babies born jail. Therefore, securing your futures forever.

The Nam Dee waterfall is a beautiful small village with hills and serene valleys all around. The water fall looks wonderful. The place is so peaceful and refreshing for travelers.
