This was taken through a glass window in an art gallery in Hanoi. I love the hands.
Cool wat in Hanoi.
In the Hoi An market. I think this is dragonfruit. If so, it's white inside with what looks like poppy seeds spread throughout it. It has somewhat of a pear texture and I had them every morning for breakfast. Every. Morning. Not sure if I loved them as much as I hate eggs, meat and most other breakfast foods including Asian choices such as noodle soup and stews.
Hoi An along the river. I love the French Colonial buildings.
I could have watched this guy throw his fishing net all day long. Amazing how it spirals up and out. 
My first view of Angkor Wat.
Honey, could you run down and get the paper! 
Everyone climbs to the tallest part of the Angkors (takes 30 minutes to hike up) in late afternoon to see the sun set. I actually don't see why since 1) it doesn't set over any of the Angkors and 2) Cambodia isn't known for great sunsets. It's sunny and then it's dark in 15 minutes. So you go up there, wait and then scramble down this mountain before you get lost in the dark. And there's no alcohol to be had.
Workers heading home in the afternoon with wood and bags of rice on the back of their bikes. Just cruising through this gorgeous arch heading to their neighborhood. Pretty amazing. 
Love the early morning light on this wat.
So here's Bangkok. A gorgeous new high rise next to old grungy buildings. New next to old. Rich next to poor. River alive with plants and barges. Commerce and nature. A cosmopolitan city that has a floating market to buy a Pepsi before heading home to hang out the laundry on your railing. I love this city!
