I've Got So Much Catching Up To Do

So today is the 9th, I'm in Osaka, Japan. My last post was on the third back in Siem Reap, so I've got a lot of catching up to do. Unfortunately a lot of great GoPro pictures aren't going to be included because...eh, that's a lot of work and my workspace at this hostel isn't very comfortable.

Siem Reap 1

Today we went up a mountain to Phnom Kulen, which is near Siem Reap. It's full of rich historical and religious significance which, in the true spirit of this blog's name, I don't understand any of and can't pass on any information to you.

Here's a wiki page though.  

Bangkok Part 2

June 30 - We Go to the Zoo

I read that the Zoo in Bangkok costs 100 baht, which is roughly three dollars. This sounded like a reasonable way to spend time, so we took the train up to the Victory Monument and went for a long walk from there to reach the zoo.

Bangkok Part 1

After our elephant adventure Saturday, it was time to leave Chiang Mai. Sunday morning we came to the airport and departed on a flight to Bangkok. We've had a whirl of little adventures since then, trying to figure this city out.

Elephants

A Day Out of Chiang Mai

Today was our main event in norther Thailand. We had booked an elephant day upon arrival into Chiang Mai with Elephant Jungle Sanctuary(and here's our photos on their facebook) high in the mountains near the city. At 8 am we were picked up by a...erm...pickup truck. We climbed into the back onto the padded benches and imagined all the wonderful things that might await us

Chiang Mai's Many Temples (Etc.)

In Chiang Mai there are temples at every corner--not literally, but the city is so rich with them that you can walk twenty minutes and go past a half dozen of the things. So that's what we did today.

Pictures from the other day...

Here's Christian and I enjoying our Phi Phi island hopping and snorkeling adventure, I wish I could ever have stable enough internet to upload video! But this will have to do:
