This post was originally published on 25 Feb, 2023, and moved here, to my new blog. This kid! He is actually 35 years old now.

Wat Pho At Sunset.

This post was originally published on 25 Feb, 2023, and moved here, to my new blog. Wat Pho! We have been here before, about 20 years ago, but nothing has changed. I am not sure why I would be surprised by that, seeing as how it was originally completed around 1688 by King Rama I, […]

This post was originally published on 28 Jan, 2023, and moved here, to my new blog. We had the distinct pleasure of visiting a couple of emergency rooms here in Vietnam on Wednesday. It was a bit of a scary story, and at this time, everything is okay. I walked into a bathroom at the […]

Poklongarai Temple.

This post was originally published on 28 Jan, 2023, and moved here, to my new blog. The Poklongarai towers were built for, well, yes, King Poklongarai. They were built during his lifetime, in the late 13th and early 14th centuries. He was a pretty popular king to the Cham people, and was revered for being […]
