I've been back from my trip for about a week now. I'm moving a million miles an hour trying to get my life sorta, still have a lot to do ... here is a short summary. You can also check out some picture of the wedding in Heidelberg, Abu Dhabi, Laos, and Thailand.
Highlights
Thailand - Philosophizing with a monk in Bangkok about the worlds problems, while sipping my favorite ‘Thai Ice Tea’
Laos - Seeing the hobby/passion of a monk that carved a fusion of Buddist/Hindu deities into stone.
Abu Dhabi - Staying in a nicest hotel I’ve EVER been in … I had a room on the 14th floor, corner suite complete with kitchen, living room, bedroom and bathroom, 2 TVs all with a view of the Cornish (Abu Dhabi’s ‘Central Park’) and the Marina
Lowlights
Laos - That’s a toss up. On my bus ride down a mountain from Luang Prabang to Vang Vien, I was inconvenienced more than once. I’m not sure if I was more annoyed with the first or second mud slide … where we had to wait for bull dozers to clear the path, or the road collapsing, impeding the buses … making us walk across to the buses on the otherside, or the guy with the rifle riding next to me the whole way there. The trip was suppose to take 6 hours … instead it took around 20 !!!
Abu Dhabi - If it wasn’t the heat, then it definately was the humidity that got to me. Both days I was there the temperature was over 110 F with humidity somewhere in the 90s !!!
