Great article. Thanks for sharing! It sure sounds like you got to see a lot in a short time. And you definitely should come back to see and do more! One of the neatest things about the Yucatan Peninsula are the cenotes, or natural sinkholes, as you mentioned briefly. There is no better way to connect with the nature and the history of the Yucatan Peninsula than to go on a tour! In fact, there is a new "Xenotes" tour, where you can swim, kayak, zipline and rappel in four different types of cenotes! It sounds incredible. A recommendation for when you come back! http://bit.ly/12IZtEy
true about the lies I like the top 8 lies. As you say at the end don't over stress and over prepare, just go(a bit prepared)
with the flow.
If you want to go back without the dust and the dubstep you can check out this blog about the Black Rock City http://thisisblackrockcity.blogspot.com/
Enjoy the visit

Enjoyed your article and... the "not sure what this was supposed to be" sculpture was Zoa by Flux. You caught it after the burn. Google "Zoa Burning Man" for cool before and after pics. Here's a good link as well if interested: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/fluxfoundation/flux-presents-zoa-a-metamorphosis-in-three-parts
asia travels happy that you enjoyed visiting all those countries...including mine... should have gone to the chin hills, or kachin state, the scenery there is great there, and if you are in thailand do't stay in Bangkok, go out to the country side, visit the north west part... like Chaingrai, the people and climate there is better, and Bangkok's not Thailand..., food usually and drinks as well, be careful, as it is not usually made to suit your own palate..., like pineapple juice and salt, totally local acquired taste...WTF.. is new to me... thought it was a UN Organisation, or some thing like that...LOL... Look us up when you come around second time...
yangon the nature pics were awesome, but hippie gatherings would not agree with the author was fore see able, loved the whole bit...like as if I was there myself...in all quite an enjoyable experience, and i love dogs..... as I cannot do it myself, reading and seeing pictures of another person's experience is like an adventure for me....
Where's my trea bark beauty mask? I just love people shots. I just sometimes forget to shoot the places since I love native faces. Thanks for this one.
great blog, great photos Hey, Bhutan suddenly found its way into my bucket list. I will most certainly visit , perhaps next year. Your blog is most informative, and your candid thoughts on how you found shangrila is very encouraging for a would-be visitor like me. Thanks for this blog. Keep writing. You write very well.

Indonesia Thank you. I was there in January, and it hardly rained at all. Not sure if that is typical. I think it's generally dry in S.E. Asia that time of year.
Nice. Well written and very informative. I'm planning on going to Indonesia for a month in January myself. What is the weather like? I have read that it's the rainy season. Does it rain constantly? Thanks and good stuff with the blog, fascinating.

I have visited many countries, and while it was once my goal to visit over 100 (I think I'm at 80), I have since stopped counting and caring about visiting more, just want to get to understand the world a bit better, and go back to favorite places. E.g. I would rather go back to Spain and see more of it than to visit some country I don't care about just to add to the count. Interested in global human issues, especially surrounding migration. ... full info
