First set of diving photos

Here are some photos from my diving trip that I've uploaded so far. The trip was amazing, as I think I'm addicted to diving now.

Quick update

Just wanted to say that I'll be in the Similan Islands, off the coast of Thailand for the next 5 days. I'm going on a live-aboard diving trip where...it should be fun.

I'm bringing an underwater camera with me so I'll post pics as soon as possible.

Trip to Cambodia and Angkor Wat

Pictures from near the Demiliterized Zone in Vietnam

The DMZ...quite a nice area. These pictures come from the city of Hue, which received heaving bombing during the Vietnam war. There wasn't much to do in this city other than ride around with my personal cyclo driver, see some war memorabilia, and pray that a stray motorbike didn't run into me. As you can see, motorbikes are everywhere, and apparently the use of child safety seats is not in vogue.

It was also fun to see some elephants and feed the fishes.

Pictures from my trip to Hanoi and nearby Halong Bay (where the Vietnam war started)

I visited this beautiful waterfall in Laos...and also went swimming!

No, I'm not a millionaire...the currency in Lao is in hundreds of thousands of kip. This is about $100 worth of money...it makes one feel rich.

Here's a cool spider that I saw in Laos.

Here's me, a monk, and some sort of grasshopper.

Cute Laos kids who first tried to sell us bracelets, but ended up being happier having us take pictures of them and then showing them the pics!

Who has the longer tongue???

Okay, that's enough pictures for now. I'm currently in Phuket, Thailand spending my days on the beach. This weekend I plan on starting a 3 day diving course so I can explore the ocean around Phuket, which is one of the top 10 dive spots in the world...I'm pretty excited.
