Southeast Asia Program - Beginning the adventure!
We've arrived!
The adventure begins; wandering the streets of Bangkok, sampling the local cuisine, leaping onto canal boats that don't stop - only slow down, and marveling at a city so grand in its contrasts. Our tour on day two highlighted the life in Bangkok, Thailand, where one fifth of the country's people live, from homeless people sleeping under bridges, to huge malls with Hermes scarves draped decadently on mannequins, to shining golden Wats (temples) exuding a peaceful vibe. Bangkok truly is the city of smiles.
The Southeast Asia Fall 2009 trip is underway and we've begun our journey into the mountain; ancient ruins, trekking with hill tribes and a rafting trip beckon. Our group of 16 enthusiasts are already having a ball together. Some silly games on the first day forced us into each other's personal space and shared experiences promise to bring us even closer.
