21 November 2013 – Koh Lanta, Thailand

Hiking Namsan mountain and stumbling onto a Buddhist temple.
Checking out the campus of Science and Technology University in Wuhan China. Only something like 60,000 people live on campus. There are 38 (!) canteens.
A surprise Buddhist stupa in Moscow – pretty neat discovery for a native Muscovite! And a fitting way to connect our Asia trip with our homeland.
Unbeknownst to us we try the famous Lao crepes (pancakes) and deem them to be the best desert ever. Seriously, I can see why backpackers are all about this stuff — its delicious! And can be found in every small town in Laos.
STATS Days on the road: 305Number of beds: 13Countries visited: Vietnam, Russia (16 hrs!), GeorgiaPostcards sent: 0 THOUGHTS It’s been about two weeks since we left southeast Asia for Europe. Its strange – even though we’ve reached our limit of mangos, rice paddies, and scooters as the main mode of transportation – we miss it. Not that…
Talking about this and that – getting scammed, you know the usual. We didn’t know it at the time, but we were under massive culture shock in Delhi, India.
