Do you remember what you did on this day last year, November 11th, 2008? I do. I left for Nepal. I said goodbye to my family and friends, headed to the Cincinnati airport and left for what would be a most interesting year.
Its hard to believe that it has been [...]
I’m back in Thailand! I was here six years ago and toured the country. Now I’m back in Bangkok. Its an incredibly beautiful country, and it has by far the best food in the world (after Skyline and hamloaf, that is).
Its raining here, but somehow I’m not surprised. As [...]
A year ago I posted an entry entitled ‘First Impressions’ (you can read it HERE and I highly urge you to read it as it will make this post make a lot more sense). An old friend commented on the post saying that it will be interesting to see my last impressions when I [...]

Yesterday after church a guy came up to me and introduced himself to me as David. He had been traveling the world for the last five months. Europe, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda, and he was heading to India today. He just returned from Everest Base Camp and had climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro while [...]
