Thailand
Highlights of Thailand so far: - The food! You can get some really amazing soups/noodles/rice dishes for about $1-2. - Got a food massage at a women’s prison. The money they receive goes back to them when they are released in 6 months or less.  - Temples. Okay, I have to admit that after the 3rd temple, you’re just kind of bored, but the architecture is still pretty cool. -...

Last Thoughts on India
I left India a week ago, and it’s amazing how much I miss the country. I’m in Thailand right now, which is beautiful and full of culture but, to be honest…I find it a bit dull.

The Andamans & Croc Bank (For the Second Time)
The Andamans were absolutely amazing. It made up for all the failed beach vacations I’ve experienced in the past (and there’s been a decent amount of them). After some early morning travel on the 7th, we arrived at Port Blair. From there, it was a rush to make the ferry in time. Thankfully we did, and two hours later we arrived at Havelock and Barefoot Scuba Resort. We were staying at...
