Leaving chop-stick-land

After about six months on the road in Asia I'm leaving this continent. It's been wonderful and the experiences many. Since this is the end of Asia, for this time, I thought I should sum up a few of the highlights so far.

Summing up six months is not easy, and the highlights has not necessarily been one specific place or monument, but more the atmosphere of a place, the people around me and the way it makes me feel.

The highlights are moments where everything seems right, where life is perfect and I feel that there is nowhere else in the world that I would rather be. So here goes!

1. Dancing on the underground in Moscow, Russia.

2. Chanting and meditating with the monks in Mongolia and Laos.

3. The magic of the Olkhon Island in Siberia, Russia.

4. Life in Beijing and everything that includes.

5. Being invited to tea by a Tibetan family in Ani Gompa, Sichuan province, China.

6. Living life at TacomePai, a wonderful farm in northern Thailand.

7. Walking among the temples of Angkor Wat.

8. Hanging out with elephants in Hongsa, Laos.

9. Taking trains. The atmosphere on long train rides in Russia and Asia is something special.

10. Celebrating christmas on the roof of a boat with wonderful people in Halong Bay, Vietnam.

11. Sleeping in a hammock under the stars in the jungle in Cambodia.

12. Lazy days by the river in Muang Ngoi, Laos

13. Enjoying the sunset over the Mekong river and then watching the stars appear on the sky, Luang Phrabang, Laos

14. Looking out over Tiger Leaping Gorge after four hours climbing straight up, Yunnan, China.

15. And of course, meeting you. You all know who you are!
