I left Paradise and arrived in Bangkok today (arguably quite the opposite of Paradise). So far, I've only wandered aimlessly and eaten an unidentifiable kebab thing. More later.
Onward,

Hello Family & Friends,

Family & Friends,
I am now on Railay Beach, near Krabi, a.k.a. Paradise! It was quite an experience getting here: a plane, a bus, then a longtail boat, which involved carrying my luggage through waist-high waves to get to shore. But it was totally worth it because this place is gorgeous. Here is a taste of what I'm dealing with here. Onward, Chris Family & Friends,
After a grueling 24 hours of non-stop travel, I am now in Chiang Mai, Thailand! I had a brief layover in Dubai on the way. I've already had some yummy homemade pad ka prao (my favorite)! More to come. Onward, Chris Family & Friends,
I took an overnight bus from Sofia, arriving here in Istanbul very early this morning. My day of exploring was therefore influenced by a somewhat delirous state. In any case, I am enjoying the city so far! Onward, Chris Hello Family & Friends,
I now find myself in Sofia, Bulgaria. From what I can tell so far, it is a vibrant, commercialized city. The Bulgarian alphabet boggles me. I will have more to report later! Onward, Chris Hello Family & Friends,
Here is a selection of screengrabs from my GoPro footage in Budapest, Barcelona, Lisbon (and Sintra), and Amsterdam. I leave for Sofia, Bulgaria this Wednesday! Onward, Chris Family & Friends,
I didn't take too many pictures while in Amsterdam because we were too busy... er... sightseeing. Some parts of it reminded me of Las Vegas with all the stag parties and debauchery. Also, I thought it was quite stressful constantly trying not to get run over by a bike, car, tram, or bus. But what a beautiful city! More GoPro footage to come. Onward, Chris Family & Friends,
I took the opportunity to relax while in Porto. Here are some photos. I stayed in a cinema-themed hostel. A word of advice: Always count your change and check your bill in Portugal! There were multiple instances where I was given change back short. I still don't know if there was malice involved or if they just don't emphasize teaching math in schools. Onward, Chris Family & Friends,
Here are some photos from Lisbon. Lisbon reminded me a lot of San Francisco because of the hilly streets and cable cars. Even the 25 de Abril bridge looks like the Golden Gate! I also went to the small town of Sintra for a day, so there are photos from there as well. Onward, Chris Family & Friends,
I finally had the chance to go through photos, so here are some from Barcelona! I still have to go through the GoPro footage for any other cool stills and also to show how I almost caught on fire at a street festival. Enjoy! Onward, Chris |
