I'm Bad at Blogging

…but good at traveling.
Even though I only have 10 vacation days this year, as opposed to whole months at a time off like last year, I’m still managing to check Southeast Asian countries off of my list. I’m debating trying to get to all of them. Maybe if the Philippines were cooler, or if I could find Brunei on a map.
Thailand? Big check.
Laos? Check. Check.
Cambodia? Check. (Hi, T! Loved the elephant picture.)
Singapore? Check. (Hey boo, been outside today?)
Indonesia? Check.
Burma? Unofficial check. I went out to the field last week to visit the schools our project works with. One of the schools is in a village so close to Burma that the border between Thailand and Burma literally runs down the center of the road you drive on to get there. So we drove there in Thailand and drove back in Burma.
Vietnam? In 2 weeks. WITH MEG AND WILLIE!!! SO EXCITED. I’m meeting them at the Hanoi airport on April 5th. We’ll travel around northern Vietnam for 5 days and then back to Thailand for the country-wide water fight that is Songkran (Thai New Year). Please feel free to follow their example.
