Thailand & Malaysia

Bangkok - One of the hottest, busiest cities in the world. Seeing a real Muy-Thai fight made my trip. Elephants walked the streets and little motos (tuk-tuks) whizzed through the humid air. If that wasn't enough, we moved south to Phuket and rode elephants in the jungle. We risked our lives white-water rafting and ATVing (not recommend in Asia). Sarah and I also go certified to SCUBA dive. We spent time hanging out with a cool couple from England.

Then it was on to Malaysia. After a few days in Kuala Lumpur, we flew over to Borneo and intoone of the most amazing outdoor places in the world. Mountains, rivers, and wildlife, this place has it all! The true benefit was going to the orangutan preserve. Even though the weather didnt cooperate, we crashed an all-staff New Year's Eve party. Sarah sang, we all danced, and being the only white people there was an amazing night. Most of our friends we sick the whole time.

First China Trip

October 2007
We could not have had a better trip in China. We went to the beautiful cities of Guilin and Yangshuo to relax on the Li River, shop, and eat. This town had everything you could want to do each of these.
We attended light shows with 2000 performers. We biked to a giant cave and swam in the mud! Every meal was excellent.

We went on to Xi'an to see the Terra Cotta Warriors. The walled city was amazing. More polluted than where we are from but the ancient look was worth the trip.

Shekou, China

We live in Shekou, China, a sub-district of Shenzhen, just across the water from Hong Kong. It is a busy city with lots of commercial shopping. Our area is filled with restaurants, bars, stores, and massage parlors (some legit, others not). The weather here is extremely hot and humid in the summer and it rains a lot. Then in the winter, it cools nicely and the palm trees are nice.
