XC in Asia

I think I forgot to say I went to Asia last year.

This is xc in Mongolia on top of a giant rock.


 This is XC on the great wall. I'm totally wearing the same clothes I was in the Korea photos. Whatever

excursions with the fam to SE Asia

For two weeks in February/March, the Ly household travelled to Cambodia with a detour into Thailand. This landmark is called Khao Cheejan (or Buddha Mountain) located near Pattaya, Thailand. Attempts to retrieve the gold proved impossible as it would require rock climbing skills that I lack. It was created in 1996 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of King Bhumibol Adulyade's ascension to the throne.


This is me mostly blocking Angkor Wat (the temple, not the band). This was built in the 12th century as a Hindu temple, but was converted to Buddhist at some point. Everything is ridiculously detailed and really amazing to see.


On one of the last days of the trip, we went to a Cambodian national park, which is basically a mountain. We were high enough that clouds could pass through us even though the picture doesn't reveal much about the altitude.


Bonus Picture: Me from Paris I've delayed putting up from two years ago!
