Hi Neil, you are very welcome! That is what I hoped my blog would be do, take you places without leaving your living room.

fascinating find in the travel blogs-how great is this to be sitting in your room and go to all parts of the world while remaining in one spot. nice for us older folk who will never go there except in our minds!

Nice stories here everyone, I always enjoy the stories you all tell, funny how pictures can take us on a journey to our past or prompt us to remember something. Thanks for sharing

The picture of the sleeping kid is fantastic! I laughed when I read, “Pretty certain this baby was breathing when I snapped the picture” because it’s a scene I remember from growing up in Singapore. I had neighbour children friends who slept just like this, well, actually on a hard plank of wood, no pillows whatsoever, and they looked perfectly comfortable doing that! It always blew me away, thinking about it even back then because I always had pillows and a mattress. I couldn’t figure out if it was culture (i.e. hard wood is good for the posture) or economy that made it so that my parents padded us with pillows, and my neighbours didn’t have any cushioning of any sort.

Awww…I love that shot of the sleeping child in the temple ruins There’s something so magical about it. Sort of like a new life, old life juxtaposition.
