Quick Update

Wow! I can't believe it's been a month since we left China.... which means I'm seriously behind on my posts. We have since gone through Bangkok, Thailand, Vietnam (south to north), and are now in Luang Prabang, Laos. In Bangkok we got to rest, catch up on things, and get taken care of by my mom.... and of course enjoy the tasty Thai food. Actually the food has been amazingly good in Thailand, Vietnam, and even Laos so we've been feasting everyday. We considered staying longer in Vietnam just for the food but sadly our visa ran out.

Of course we have done more than just eat: we caught the water lantern festival (Loi Kratang) in Thailand, spent our 4th wedding anniversary in charming Hoi An, Vietnam, and Thanksgiving on a boat in Ha Long Bay, Vietnam. Now we're enjoying the peace & quiet of Luang Prabang (one of the few touristy places in Asia where you're not harassed by the vendors every 5 seconds). We're supposed to make our way south back to Bangkok (by land), and then fly to Kolkata, India, from there but that will depend on whether or not the Bangkok airport opens up in time.

I will backtrack and post more details of our experiences & photos of all these places in the coming weeks so stay tuned.
