A walk around the Thonglor district (Shukmvit 55) in Bangkok – a posh and fancy neighborhood full of expats and wonderful things to eat, drink and buy. Did we ever tell you we love Thailand?
Check out our friend’s sweet apartment in Budapest. The view is of the Great Synagogue – the largest one in Europe and second largest in the world! Nice spot for an alfresco lunch, eh? We were very lucky to hang here for a week! Thank you again )
A stroll by the parliament of Hungary, hands down the most beautiful political building we’ve seen. They have gilded personal cigarette holders inside! Fancy. Also, watch on for some other monuments that basically represent a snapshot of Eastern Europe today )
The minute we walked out of the airport and onto the subway bound for center of Budapest – I knew it. This was my city. Sometimes you just get that feeling. Very rarely is it wrong. And this time, this feeling grew and expanded until I was about to burst – that’s when we walked…
We take the norry, aka Cambodian train! A bamboo raft, set on the original network built by the French, and powered by a motorcycle engine. Locals still take it short distances — I think we caught a bunch of school kids going home. If nothing else, it is very scenic and very fun.
Exploring cave churches in the Zelve Open Air Museum — this one is a bit off the beaten path in Cappadocia, but actually turned out to be a pretty neat and extensive site. Lots of climbing, lots of fascinating dwellings — definitely recommend.
