Now that we are over 1/3 of the way through our adventure, and since leaving Asia I've been meaning to write a blog as a sort of round up of our experiences so far… First and foremost Asia treated us rather well most of the time and we thoroughly enjoyed the majority of our experiences, so things I am going to miss about Asia: ·A crazy sense of adventure in completely foreign cultures ·The contrast in the way non-Western cultures go about their daily liv...
