Highlights from Last Month

Dear Friends,
It's been a busy month and there's much catching up to do. Here are some highlights from the last month in South Asia:

I went to Thailand! Every year my company invites employees to Chiang Mai, Thailand for a week of training, networking, sharing and relaxing. This picture is from a traditional Thai dance and cultural dinner I attended one evening with friends.



At the cultural dinner with my good friend and fellow S. Asia dweller :)

Trying out the traditional Thai pose. Cheesy? Just a bit.

We rode around Chiang Mai on scooters! This was my first time to ride a scooter in Asia, a somewhat frightening and exhilarating experience at the same time. I survived without wrecking and yes, I wore my helmet. We drove around the city for awhile, then drove up a mountain to a waterfall.

Then I took a week of vacation in Phuket, Thailand with some friends. This was taken at our hotel's restaurant. It was beach front, baby!

Hey, why aren't you wearing one of those outfits from the first picture? I wonder if that hat with the cone is heavy or hard to balance...

I know, cool outfit huh? I was just having fun wearing shorts - quite the novelty for me! Haha. Next time, next time Josh ;)

You drove and rode a scooter? I'm jealous. It looks like you had a lot of fun in Thailand.

Tell me, is the food in Thailand as same as food of "King and I" in Rochester?

Um, I think it was better. Yeah, much better. More coconut.
