Bangkok photos

Its hard to condense a week in Bangkok into a manageable number of photos. I'm only posting a quarter of what I took!

Take a look:

Ho Chi Minh, Manila, Hong Kong, San Francisco

Four cities in the last four days, not counting flight times, is one crazy way to end a month of travel and a summer in Asia. Its been great and I wouldn't have traded it for anything.

Here are some things I've learned during my summer:


  1. Anything you eat might make you sick -- be sure to only eat things that are delicious. This way, if you do end up in the bathroom for an extended period of time you won't be regretting that subpar sandwich.

  2. No matter how many motorbikes you see, you will always see another carrying something crazy (ie: a family of five, a refridgerator, a wooden front door, a mirror, etc)

  3. Nothing feels better than a cold shower in the middle of the afternoon.

  4. Everyone will stare at you for being tall and white.

  5. A 50 cent beer tastes better than a $5.00 beer. Going back to NYC prices is going to be tough.

And the highlights:



  1. Cruise on Halong Bay

  2. Skybar in Bangkok

  3. Bamboo hut on the beach with Kaitlin

  4. Countless mango smoothies

  5. Vietnamese street food
