Bangkok

The view from the back of a Tuk TukMy first experience at Muay Thai Boxing!!!!An action shot!Went on a dinner cruise with Tresa, college counsellor at Concordian International School. It was fantastic. After dinner there was a dancing show.Bangkok weekend market... you can find anything there!

China

Walking around you see so many beautiful buildings. This one is in Shanghai.Peking Duck...my new favorite food. Apparently it takes about 3 days to prepare. The chef comes and cuts it up for you at your table.But on second thoughts...maybe I should have wood :)

You had me at 'Kimchi'....

It is always nice to visit Korea because I get to see my Korean family (whom I lived with for a year in 2001). Here is my Korea sister and Hanguk Uma (Korean mom). Insadong, is know for its traditional tea houses and antique shops. The hanbok is the traditional dress....comes in all sizes. You can find so much random stuff on the markets.

UAE

Dubai...once a small fishing village. This is inside the Dubai Museum. Outside of these walls is a different story.In fact, many, many stories. The Burj Dubai is almost completed and is the world tallest structure. Nothing says Dubai like at trip to the Gold Market....Or to their indoor ski resort.I like the traditional henna tattooing...and experienced a short camel ride in the desert.

UAE and Korea

Coming soon...I'm going to try to get these pictures up really soon but the Chinese government has blocked this website. I am having a difficult time re-routing to find a way to get pictures up.

Istanbul......so amazing!!!

The Hagia Sophia-once a basilica, then a mosque, now a museum. The Spice Market is so full of color and lively banter!Inside the Blue Mosque. The basilica cistern, built in the 6th century, is breathtaking.

Germany and Switzerland

The Glockenspiel in the center of Munich. Everyone 'Oooooohhhs and Ahhhhhs' about 3 times a day at it. The clock parts spin to music and re-enacts the wedding of Duke Wilhelm V (founder of the infamous Hofbrauhaus)Inside the Hofbrauhaus. You know you are in Switzerland when...While staying at the Ecole d'Humanite, I would hear the cow bells each evening as the cows were brought in to the barn. Zurich...such a beautiful city.
