We checked out one of the oldest and largest temples in Thailand today.

Great Experience!

Friends and I stumbled in after getting drenched in the rain.

The mountain was very foggy, but it was an incredible time nonetheless.

We explored rivers, hung out with monkeys, and even went for a swim.

I have no words to describe the beauty at Zhangjiajie National Park.  It is rich with wonder.

Stay posted on the Avatar Mountains!

Another great day in Guilin!

For our recent holiday, I traveled to Guilin, China with a group of friends.  Our first stop was to explore the rice terrace that cover the countryside.  The views were absolutely beautiful.  The culture was so rich too.  We learned a lot about the “Long Hair People” (Loosely translated).  We saw them perform a traditional dance and ceremony.  But of course, the pinnacle of culture discovery is food, and we explored plenty of that. :)

Last week, my language partner took me to Sheshan Cathedral.  It was on a beautiful mountain overlooking the outskirts of Shanghai. Great time of discovering Catholicism in China and exploring new sights!

The kids were so goofy and had a great time.

While walking around a park, I met this man who was working in the park sweeping and cleaning.  From my far-from-fluent Chinese, we talked about his life and the weather.  He also told me he was 61 years old.  Not too bad for 61! 61 and still performing manual labor in a park? The man had resilience like none other.
