A peak at Sergey’s childhood home — he used to spend his summers in Tbilisi until about 7 years old. The cherry tree is still there, as are the books, pictures, and all the neat other things.
The world’s tallest Buddhist carving — the 71-meter Buddha in Leshan, China. Plus a few new friends 🙂
Hanging out on lake Egirdir — this beach is right outside of Charly’s pension where we stayed. A wonderful retreat it was )
A rather bumpy ride on a colonial-era train from Bago to Mawlamyien
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.
We secure our train tickets from Shanghai to Wuhan, and breathe a sight of relief.
Riding in the rickshaw – our most frequently used method of transport in India – to the train station.
