Thailand Photos

Visiting Thailand became a whirlwind of an adventure. Thai people are very kind and live in circumstances some Americans can not even imagine. However, they greet life and guests with a smile and would be willing to take you in if needed. Many of the Thai people I encountered would give anything they had when they had nothing. However, as with all countries of the world you must realize that their are thieves and people who will take advantage of you. However, as long as you are mindful of your surroundings and how people engage you. You will do great in your travels.

Great Friends

As my time here in Japan comes to a close, my birthday arrived. My thoughtful husband decided to plan a surprise birthday party at one of my favorite places, gyu-kaku. This birthday has become bittersweet as we plan for our return stateside, I will truly miss Japan. I have learned how to embrace this wonderful culture and it may be more difficult to return home than I ever imagined. I have enjoyed my travels during my time here. I hope I can continue my worldwide exploration after my return to the states. I have made wonderful friends in my time here and hope to see them at future installations. If you ever have a chance to visit Japan make sure you visit the places off the main tourist areas. Some of my favorite spots are not well known, but can be easily found with research online. I am glad that I have been enriched with this experience and blessed with such wonderful friends.
