Back in May teaching in China and traveling Asia was just something two of my friends and I talked about. Last week one of those friends, Donald, met me in Zhengzhou where we were lucky enough to join in one of my co-workers pre-wedding celebrations. From there we traveled to Kunming to enjoy the hospitality of another Fordham classmate of ours and meet up with Nicole (the second friend). After a brief sampling of Kunming, Nicole and Donald, and I made our way to Bangkok.
Despite its wild and crazy reputation and recent splash in international news with the protests, our time here has been rather laid back with boat rides, temple visits, and alleyway cafés. Maybe it's cause none of us want to spend our overnight train ride north hungover that we've been so conservative, in any event our time here has been more pleasant than party. Later today we'll begin our journey to Chiang Mai to explore some of the Northern Thai jungles. I'm hoping to get a close look at some elephants and stay off the radar of the Mosquitos!
If you want a more visual account of the journey of us 三朋有 (three friends) in SEA (Southeast Asia) check out Instagram and look for our hashtag #三inSEA (there's a pun in there in you think about it hard enough). Thanks for reading!
