Women have adam's apples too... everyone has one. It's USUALLY just more prominent in men than in women, however it can be very prominent in women and not show at all in men.
What, you think that just cause a man doesn't have a prominent one then he's a woman?! I doubt you ever thought that.... so why the other way around?
Learn anatomy, I beg of you, before posting something so insulting about women.
Wats up! Once again, mon frieire, you continue to wow us with both linguistic and photographic virtuosity. I live vicariously through your description of warm beaches and gildedn buddhas, and wish that Craig and I were also swinging through trees on a zip line. Keep on rocking in the eastern world

Stick insect and LOVED the orchids Is the stick insect the form--appears a little bit gray-green--that's bisecting the phot horizontally? And you're right--I loved the orchids.

Expo Temple Hi Daniel,
Interesting blog. Just wanted to let you know that the temple at
the Royl Flora Expo is actually a recreation of the old northern style
royal palace rather than an actual temple. It would have been the place where the King met diplomats and advisors. That's the reason why you didn't see a Buddha statue there. It was built to showcase local artists and craftspeoples skills.
Poetic License Well, the paper part of the title is a bit of a stretch. It was supposed to be a riff on Rock, Paper, Scissors. The paper I was thinking of was the paper lanterns they launch into the sky at night on the islands.
WOW WOW WOW!!!! Your writing is sublime. We just returned from Viet Nam and Cambodia and I didn't know how to describe the beautiful karst outcroppings on Halong Bay until you did it for me. I want to read everything you write,. Your descriptions are eyewatering. There we were in Bangkok, and who knew I was so unimaginably close to this phenomenal sceery in the Similans. I want to go. Climbing, I have to leave for my next lifetime, diving also, but there must be some sublime snorkeling spots. When we were in that part of the worl we snorkeled in the Gilly Islands and saw fabulous fish. Love your blog and the pictures are wonderful. We loved Angkor Wat also. Amazing!!!! Keep having a safe and great journey. i will be following it. Love, Judy
Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeew! What an adventure! But I don't think I would have wanted to be on this leg of the trip--well maybe that spectacular diving. But that "easy" cliff looks plenty steep to me.
Keep your blogs coming. The photos are sublime.

As a British Sikh I read your piece on the Harmandir Sahib (Golden Temple) with much interest. The reason for this was to gain the perspective of a non-sikh regarding the temple and Sikhism, which I'd say was surprisingly similar to my views! Amritsar and Punjab in general isn't really a big holiday destination, glad you enjoyed it, if anyone gets the chance to go try the mattar paneer (its one of Punjab's signature dishes (tastes great)) at any dhaba you go to. Also try visiting Chandigarh- an up and coming city.
great trip and great description enjoying your details of your journeys. your caution on the food is so wise. any contact and discussion with the natives having a command of english. keep enjoying and stay well
Bonjour! great update. Have you been to Greece or planning to? there are some really great places to visit there too. Keep it up, it feels like being there too :)

Hi Dan,
Great news! I'm glad that you sent some stories - I was beginning to think that you had been taken hostage or something.
Good luck with the Turkish toilets!
Best,
Jessica
On Being a Beach Bum Truth to tell I was a bit surprised that you were on an island; except for the sandbox days up to the age of 2 you were never crazy about the beach. But the scuba diving must be amazing. Can you rent an underwater camera? If not--Thailand is probably not that touristic--try to describe what manner of undersea flora and fauna you've seen. I went scuba diving once, off Isla de Mujeres in Mexico, when I was even younger than you. It was amazing. Enjoy every minute!

hi did u really like this place..........ya its really very beautiful right.....i too found this place very cool..beside this ur journal played the very important role. thanks man.good luck
Istanbul! Let me know if you'll be in Istanbul on Monday (write me at colleen@gurhan.com). When I'm back at work I'll send you the e-mail of a friend of mine that lives there! Unfortunately, I don't have her e-mail at home...(and I think it's a different than those in our NY office). I'm sure her and her husband (both speak English very well) would be happy to show you around a bit, or get dinner. They're wonderful!
Pretzels The pretzels (called simit) are still everywhere. They are a nice way to quite the stomach's grumblings between kebabs. In fact, apparently, some vendors have opened up fixed stores, where they sell highly eloborate simit with heaps of toppings.
Baths I went to the super famous one last n1ght - caaloulu, last night. It was pretty beautiful, and very refreshing. I think I might visit another one tonight, as I am feeling a bit soggy from a day of walking around in the cold rain.
Pudd1ng Shop Hi Doris! I think it is still there. I walked into the place and looked around, but I'm not sure it remains the traveler mecca that it was back then. I will stop by again and see if they got anything going on. I'll post a photo of it and see if you recognize it!

I got tired of eating the usual every day, so I ordered a heaping plate of extraordinary. I'm that odd American you find in remote places among the Ozzys, Kiwis, Israelis and Europeans, taking a year to the travel. Half of the fun of traveling is telling people about it, so by reading my travel journal, you are helping me enjoy my trip, vicariously through you, who are encouraged to enjoy my trip vicariously through me... Or something. Anyway, I hope you enjoy the blog!
