    Marooned on a desert island in the Gulf of Island…almost. Rabbit Island is a neat little getaway, only 30 minutes by boat from Kep. There are plenty of huts to rent for a few days. No wifi on the island, which makes for lots of reading, writing, and reflecting time.

    22 March 2014 – Phnom Penh, Cambodia

    When we first arrived in Phnom Penh we noticed an astonishing number of Lexus and Highlander jeeps driving around downtown. So we decided to count how many there are — turns out we got 13 in just about a block and half or 4 minutes. Who knew?
