Some more views and impressions:

Here's an artistic take on my wanderings about Saigon this week. These were taken at the Reunification Palace.

I've just spent two great weeks in Manila. One of the highlights of the city for most is probably all the colourful jeepneys that are used for public transport. I've attached a few of my favourite photos

I just really like this one. Looking toward the presidential palace from the park along the Mekong.

I spent only a few hours wandering the main Angkor Wat temple. I need to go back again and again.

Some photos I took on the walk from the east gate of Angkor Wat in Siem Reap, Cambodia.

While I was in Vientiane I went to see the Victory Gate north of the city centre. To be honest, there's not many touristy things to see in Vientiane that I hadn't already seen elsewhere in southeast Asia

I recently spent two very lovely weeks in Vientiane, Lao PDR. It's a great little town that maybe deserves more attention than it gets; however, it was nice to avoid the crowds of Thailand and Cambodia!

I stayed right across the street from this stupa in Chiang Mai. It dates back to the 13th century. And I feel like this photo captures much of the feel of Chiang Mai quite well:

The journey through Southeast Asia continues. I spent some time relaxing and doing non-touristy things in Bangkok and I'm seeing so many temples here in Chiang Mai now. It's such a lovely city. I'm really

I had an amazing visit to Wat Sri Suphan here in Chiang Mai the other night. I just wanted to share some of the photos. The ordination hall: Candles and the temple exterior: Ganesh:

This was dinner today. Be jealous.

I'm so glad to be back on Java. It's given me a new perspective and a new view on things to come. There will be more.

I took a shortcut to a cafe I found on my Maps yesterday...it was a fun journey!

I usually have 4 or 5 per day, but these were much-needed breaks within my day. Just thought I'd share some life in Bali:

I just arrived in Ubud today. It's quite different from Canggu in a lot of ways, which is odd given that they are so close. I'm looking forward to exploring over the next few days.

Bali is a bit too busy for me, a road too often traveled; but it's also a good place to be alone with my thoughts, I hope. So far, Ubud has been promising:

Bali. Everyone has a scooter here, but I've decided (to my peril) to walk the winding streets around Canggu. I have a lot to think about in my life right now and Bali offers many small details for those

I spent a very moving and contemplative afternoon wandering Prambanan Temple outside Yogyakarta today. It, along with Borobudur are worth the trip!
