Hello everyone! So, I'm finally back in Korea, settling down, and actually having to do some work. Justin and I returned from Thailand and Cambodia about 3 days ago and, although the trip was amazing, it's really nice to be in one place and establish some sort of routine.
There are a ton of stories from our trip about people, food, elephants, magnificent temples, boat rides, hikes, and many other things, but most of them can be told through the pictures. Just copy and paste the addresses below into the address bar and they will bring you to my facebook albums containing many of our experiences captured by camera.

Thailand
Justin and I have been in Thailand for almost one week now. We started in Bangkok; a busy city full of beautiful temples and people looking to make a quick buck off of the tourists. We saw two of the major temples, both full of golden Buddha statues, and a few other things and then left for the small city of Pak Chong near Khoa Yai National Park. The city of Pak Chong was wonderful; no one was yelling at us to buy touristy things, the people were super friendly, and everything was really cheap. We got to and from the National Park through a lot of hitchhiking and ended up hiking an 8km trail (guide suggested strongly) and swam in a beautiful pool by a waterfall. After Pak Chong we went to Sukothai, a town famous for the ancient ruins at the old city. The ruins were really incredible: lots of old temples and giant Buddhas. It's incredible waht people made by hand hundereds of years ago.
Right now we are in Chaing MAi- a huge tourist city. Today we got soaked by rain while we looked for a guest house, drank good coffee, and then got an hour massage for under 4 dollars! It was great. We are trying to take some cool pictures, so ho[pefully I'll put a bunch online once we are back in Korea.
