Taking the MRT – not to be confused with the BTS – in Bangkok, Thailand.
Mongolia, Day 2 – trying to find things to do in steppe and failing.
Hanging out with some of our faves, also known as best hosts ever, in Istanbul. You learn to appreciate the days of doing nothing after one year on the road. Especially those days spent by the pool.
A visit to the 10th century Banteay Srei temple, the crown jewel of Khmer architecture. Banteay Srei was built by a Brahmin – rather than your typical Varman (king) — in honor of Hindu god Shiva. The rose-colored sandstone carvings are spectacular even in 100+ degree heat. Banteay Srei was one of our favorites in the Angkor complex!
Enroute to Kyoto, escaping typhoon and, once again, on a ferry.
