Bangkok | Thailand : Street Food

In Bangkok, Terry and I pigged out on local Thai street food, multiple times a day. In backpacker’s heaven, Khao San Road, you can get any delicacy you can imagine from fresh fruit shakes, falafels, pad thai to little fried quail eggs. And all for about $1 – which makes it even tastier. Compared to most [...]

Hong Kong | China: Out & About In Hong Kong

The little village is located right on the water, with mountains looming closely behind to create [...]

Hong Kong | China: Victoria Peak

Tonight we rode to the top of Victoria Peak. The Peak, as locals know it, offers some of the most stunning views of Hong Kong Island, Kowloon and Victoria Harbor.

Hong Kong | China: Tian Tan Buddha

Today, we sought out a little spirituality. We don’t do it enough, but in whatever form it may come, taking time to reflect, particularly in extraordinary spiritual places provides a wonderfully cathartic experience. We are staying in the famed Chunking Mansions in Kowloon, immediately opposite of Hong Kong Island, which is pretty much the heart [...]
