Lunar New Year in Busan




                                        Jagalchi Fish Market

 We got in to Busan at 4am and decided there was no better time to head out to the Market... It was colder than I anticipated, but soju helped that!

Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam

Walking across the street meant just going, the traffic doesn't let up. If you keep a steady pace, drivers have time to make adjustments so they don't hit you... trying to run across would be bad bad news. If you stop, you'll never get across! Good times :)


Angkor Wat, Cambodia



 According to Chris, we are not supposed to take pictures of the Buddha, but we did anyway.... because we are bad people.
Angkor Wat was constructed in the 1100s; first it was Hindu, dedicated to Vishnu, and then it became Buddhist in the 1200s. The temples were built when the Khmer Empire had authority over Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos, and part of Thailand.

 Cambodians dressed up in traditional style, when it's mad hot outside (like MAD hot) so that they might may a buck from folks who want to take a picture with them. We took picture of them instead.
