“My kind of traveling” is very different to … I don’t quite know how else to sum it up really. I often say to people who want to meet me: “Are you sure, I’m kinda boring really”.

Wat Arun is one of the nicer temples in Bangkok Granted I was having a bad day up until now. But things got better when I learned that the entry to Wat Arun was only about $1.50. Better yet, there was no one collecting tickets, so no charge. Late afternoon also meant that the heaving …
