We're in India
2019年3月1日, インド ⋅ 🌙 22 °C
Hello everyone! We have just arrived from a squished 5hour plane ride from Thailand to India! First we had to take a plane from Krabi to Bangkok which took 1 hour. Next we took an hour long shuttle bus to another Bangkok airport that was at least 5 times as big as the first Bangkok airport. We had a very expensive dinner in the food court and went to a magic food court where we got amazing smoothies! Their was a huge lineup for checking in and most of them didn’t care whether or not you were in line or not and decided they wanted to be at the front of the line instead of the back. After about an hour of waiting in line we somehow managed to get to the front and check in. Even though we had 6 hours between the two flights, we were super rushed... Especially when we saw how big the passport control line was! By the time we were finished there, our gate was almost ready to board. We rushed around a lot but we got on the plane safe and sound. We took off at 2:30 in the morning and landed at 5 o’clock local time. Unfortunately, no one had any rupee (Indian currency) and we didn’t have a SIM card for the phone!もっと詳しく

A hike to a beautiful sight...
2019年2月26日, タイ ⋅ ⛅ 31 °C
Today we went on a hike. It was called Dragon’s Crest Mountain (Khao Ngon Nak). It was only the four of us because mummy was sick. The owner of the condo drove us to the start of the hike. At first it was very hot, but as we got near the top it started to get a little breezier. There were some really hard parts and some stairs were there. We had a lot of stops on the way up because my legs are just little. I fell lots of times because my shoes hurt and once I fell on a spiked plant and got a lot of scratches on my arm. Once we got to the top we got on top of a big rock and enjoyed the scenery. And we also had some mentos and drinks and gummy bears that we brought along in case of emergency. After that we saw these people that were taking pictures on a cliff, Chloë decided that she too wanted to do that. First we all said that she can’t go but she managed to fight her way through and we were all freaked out with her sitting on top of the cliff. The way back down felt much easier and faster. And once we got to the bottom we had Oreos. We took a taxi back and that was the end of the hike.

Kayaking In The Mangrove Swamp
2019年2月24日, タイ ⋅ ☀️ 31 °C
Today we went kayaking through a salt water mangrove swamp, with canyons, and lots and lots of mangrove trees! We had two people in each boat; Chloë + Lara, Dale + Geoff, and Malcolm + Lee (our British guide). We stopped at a beautiful beach with soft white sand, but there was absolutely no shade there, so we didn’t stay for long. Then we explored more swamps and canyons in the kayaks, and stopped at a small, tucked away, shady beach for lunch (hot dogs for the kids, of course! 🌭). By the end of the day, we were all hot and really tired, but it was lots of fun.

"Try a dive" in Hat Nopparat Thara Park
2019年2月22日, タイ ⋅ ⛅ 33 °C
Geoff’s “bucket list” included scuba diving, just to see what it’s like. Without a license, options are a bit limited, but we ended up with Oum, a great guide, and Krabi’s only fully qualified female diving instructor. And then, to our surprise, Chloë decided to try it too! Malcolm, Dale and I tagged along for the ride (they are too young... I have no good excuse). We did a little snorkelling instead. The water was a bit more murky than usual, but both Chloë and Geoff really enjoyed their dives. I think a license may be in their future...もっと詳しく

Who needs a snow day?
2019年2月12日, タイ ⋅ 🌧 30 °C
We clearly picked a great winter to be away... but we are thinking of our friends in Ontario! Honest, I posted these for you to enjoy on your snow day (not to rub it in)... If we could bring you to the beach with us, we would! The irony is that our kids say they miss the snow. I guess the grass is always greener, or the snow always whiter, or the sand always softer, somewhere... stay warm! Laraもっと詳しく

Beauty, buddhas & baci in Luang Prabang
2019年2月6日, ラオス ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C
Our last stop before heading “home” to Thailand was Luang Prabang in Laos, another UNESCO World Heritage Centre on our South East Asian tour. We took a riverboat down the mighty Mekong, saw caves littered with age-old Buddha statues, frolicked in 2 beautiful waterfalls, avoided buying scorpion-infused Lao whisky, and were recipients of blessings at a Baci ceremony, a traditional Lao ceremony led by family elders to bring your spirits back together, for luck and strength... oh, and of course, enjoyed a few temples! Luang Prabang is a lovely town absolutely packed with tourists like us, all doing the same things... I would return here, but would spend more time exploring other parts of the country next time.もっと詳しく

Education Day
2019年2月5日, ラオス ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C
Today we visited a rural school outside of Luang Prabang, in Laos. There were only thirteen students in the middle school building, and only three of them were girls. We got there during their English lesson, so it was really funny listening to them struggling to pronounce words that we use everyday. For example, they would pronounce the word ‘ceremony’ like ‘see ree maa nee’ and ‘a bottle of spirit’ like ‘uh battle uf speet’. Then, they tried to teach us how to say the same words in Lao, but it was even funnier for the students to hear us trying to say those words! We ended up making sounds we didn’t even know we could make, and we had a lot of fun. After that, we went to a conversation workshop called Big Brother Mouse, for Lao students who wanted to practice English, and for English speaking volunteers/tourists. What we did there was set up some chairs in the backyard of this tiny building, and Lao kids from the age of 12-25 would come and sit down and interact with you.

Inspired by the arts in Cambodia
2019年2月1日, カンボジア ⋅ ☀️ 30 °C
In Siem Reap, even in the midst of big glitzy hotels and restaurants, there is a sense that Khmer people have a lot to overcome, after centuries of war, brutal political and social challenges. So I was very excited to come across three initiatives where support for the arts is making a difference. We checked out a small art school for disadvantaged kids, Colours of Cambodia. We ate a wonderful meal at a restaurant training school for former street youth, and we attended an amazing circus performance by Cambodian youth from the Phare Ponleu Selpak’s vocational training centre. The show “Khmer Metal” was performed and choreographed by young people, as was the live music. It gave a glimpse of a different Cambodia - fresh, modern and full of energy. I leave Cambodia officially inspired, and gratefully reminded that nurturing creativity can be a game-changer! - Laraもっと詳しく

Siem Reap, Cambodia
2019年2月1日, カンボジア ⋅ 🌙 29 °C
From the local market, to the floating villages all the way to our last lunch, Cambodia treated us so very well. If the struggling state of the economy isn’t enough of an indicator, then a few minutes at the landmine museum (or a visit to the genocide museum - which we did not take in) reminds us that Cambodia is a country pocked and bent by war and struggling to establish a foothold as a developing nation. Despite this, the people are happy and industrious and doing what they can to make a good life for themselves and the next generation. Everywhere we went, it was expressed over and over how important it is that tourists are coming to enjoy Cambodia. Our visit was too short, but we were tourists in every sense of the word (for better or for worse). Hopefully we can return another time to see more of the country.もっと詳しく

Animals in Cambodia
2019年1月31日, カンボジア ⋅ ☀️ 31 °C
While we were roaming around Cambodia we have seen many animals including monkeys 🐒, parrots 🦜, fish 🐠, cats 🐈, dogs 🐕, oxen 🐂, a scorpion 🦂, rabbits 🐇, guinea pigs, gerbils, crocodiles 🐊, a porcupine, a boa constrictor, chickens 🐓 water buffaloes (and land buffaloes) 🐃. and pigeons. We saw monkeys eating mangoes and bananas. We went to our guides daughters birthday and she got two parrots. Our guide breeds a type of fish called beta fish and we got to see them. In a courtyard near our hotel there are lots of cats. Everyone owns at least one guard dog. We rode an ox cart and we saw the oxen pooping! While we were walking around Ta Prohm we saw a black scorpion! Their were rabbits, guinea pigs, gerbils, crocodiles, a porcupine, a boa constrictor, and chickens on a floating raft in the floating village. While we were on our ATV ride we saw lots of buffaloes.

Monkeys in Cambodia
2019年1月30日, カンボジア ⋅ ⛅ 30 °C
Today we went to a floating village and on a boat we met a monkey that was very funny. He would jump around squirming. Once he pretended to drink out of a coke can, and another time he grabbed the tail of a duck that was underneath him. Then we went to Angkor Wat and we saw lots of monkeys eating fruits. They were very funny because they kept moving the bag to see if there was more fruit inside. When we were leaving we saw a monkey sitting on another monkey’s butt and he was itching. I wish we had a picture of that! A different day when we were in the car we saw some baby monkeys and big monkeys running through the trees with their tails up. And there was a monkey sitting on top of someone’s car!

Temple អាហារប៊ូហ្វេ in Cambodia
2019年1月30日, カンボジア ⋅ ⛅ 31 °C
Southeast Asia has lots of temples - LOTS! We have not been too temple-focused as a family, though. Surprisingly, they are not our kids’ favourite outings... even though we read about the life of Prince Siddhartha himself (I tried...). But if you visit Siem Reap, Cambodia, temples are de rigueur... and we spent the last three days crawling all over the Angkor complex. So many different temples - some at one with nature, some restored, some not restored at all, some small, and then the biggest one, of course, Angkor Wat (national symbol of Cambodia and on their flag). Luckily, we had a very experienced guide with us (Smey), who knew exactly when and where there would be fewest crowds, and better views. He also gave us everything we needed in terms of history and mythology, as well as political science, engineering feats, and public administration of the Khmer Empire. An interesting mix of Hinduism and Buddhism across these temples made for great story-telling! Too bad we haven’t gotten around to reading the Mahabharata yet (I found a kid’s version to study next month, before we head to India). However, I really enjoyed this! - Lara. (I think អាហារប៊ូហ្វេ is the Khmer word for “buffet”... happy to be corrected.)もっと詳しく

ATVs!!
2019年1月28日, カンボジア ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C
On our first day in Cambodia, after lunch, our guide, Smey, took us to an ATV garage. We had no idea what to expect, because we weren’t sure how it would work out. Once we got there, we met our ATV guides for the day. They told us that we would each get our own ATV, except Dale was too young, so she would ride with Dad, and that Malcolm would ride a mini one. Then we all had to do a driving test through traffic, (around the block) with a guide on the back. We all passed the test, so we could finally start ATVing for real! The two guides rode on motorcycles, one at the front, one at the back, and we were on our way. They took us on the city roads for a few minutes, until we got to red dirt roads. Most of the drive was on the dirt roads, through the country side. We had several stops along the way. One was at a monistary (same thing as a temple, I think 🤔), another stop at a small hidden away temple, and our last stop was a rice paddie field, with lots of buffalos and cows. We started our ride back at the garage around 2:00 pm, and got to the rice paddies around 6:00 pm, just in time for the sunset! The funniest part of the day was when Malcolm drove his ATV into a bush twice, and one time, he even somehow, toppled over, so he was on the ground, and the ATV was on it’s side!

2019年1月26日, ベトナム ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C
Hoi An is a Vietnamese version of Niagara on the Lake. It is a designated UNESCO site because of the buildings and structures that represent several centuries of cultural heritage including French, Chinese and Japanese influences. We spent most of our time here exploring by bike or on foot which was a nice change from the long drives we took to get in and out of Hanoi. We started with a visit to the local museum which featured extensive coverage of the origins of Hoi An dynasties to the devastation of the “American War” and the subsequent recovery. In addition to the quaint village lifestyle, we also visited active fishing villages and farms. We finished our tours with a hands-on farming experience and a cooking class!もっと詳しく

Taboo bamboo workshop
2019年1月26日, ベトナム ⋅ ⛅ 24 °C
Today we went to a bamboo workshop called taboo. The artisan was a man named Tan. His entire workshop was made out of bamboo including his house, his electric car, his bike, and even the bathroom was made out of bamboo! We made lots of stuff like a toy car/bamboogini (Malcolm), a snail (Malcolm), a sugar shaker (Dale), a salt shaker, a pepper shaker and a holder for the two shakers (Geoff), a bowl with a design (Chloë), and a canister (Lara.) Their were three helpers, two from Hoi An, Vietnam and one from Kathmandu, Nepal! It was really fun!
Talk to you soon,

旅行者 Hey fun idea. It is amazing what they can do with bamboo. Near Kamala beach and Phuket we went to a botanical garden and for the first time I saw a bamboo house. It was wonderful in how everything was made from bamboo . It was sturdy ,dry ,wind resistant ,spacious and 100% practical . Love. The Grandfather

Ha Long Bay
2019年1月21日, ベトナム ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C
For the past three days we have been on a cruise boat here in Ha Long Bay, called the ‘Perla Dawn Sails’ (By the way, if anyone decides to come to Ha Long Bay in the future, I would definitely recommend staying with Perla Dawn Sails for two nights/three days) Ha Long Bay in Vietnamese means ‘descending dragons’, and the legend is that, a long time ago, there were people trying to invade north Vietnam, and the Vietnamese people didn’t have weapons ready, so they prayed to the gods to help them. The gods then sent down many dragons to protect the Vietnamese people and their land. Once the dragons fought off the invaders, they decided they loved Vietnam so much, that they settled into this bay to live. That’s what all the giant rock formations are. The rocks are very cool, because the salt water has undercut the base of the rock, so when the tide goes out, it looks like a big rock on a small stem. We went kayaking twice to explore the Bay more.

2019年1月20日, ベトナム ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C
This morning Malcolm and Geoff woke up at 6:15 to do tai chi on the top deck with our friends Grace Joe and Harry. After that, we had breakfast in the dawn restaurant. While everyone else was going kayaking we got shipped off to another boat called the V’Spirit. On the boat we got a welcome drink 🍹 and we explored the boat. Their were three floors. Floor 1 had the restaurant and bathrooms. Floor 2 had the Captains corner, the games room with cards a tangrams game and a front deck. Floor 3 had a sunbathing area. We sailed through Halong bay and I even got to steer the ship. After about an hour and a half of sailing we arrived at an island and biked until we reached a small village (Dale took an electric car.) There we learnt about the island and why it is so healthy. We learnt that they use leaves and roots for medicine. After that we kept biking (I got in the car with Dale.) and we went to a place with 4 types of rice wine one with leaves two with roots and one with a snake body and a snake head. Geoff tried all four! The tour guide showed us how to make rice wine but the kids weren’t listening because we found 2 🐱 , 2 dogs 🐶 and 6 baby puppies 🐶 that were just born. Next we went on a hike to a cave. After the hike we all biked and drove back to the boat. We had lunch and sailed to a small bay near the South China Sea. We went kayaking through a cave and onto beaches. When we were called back the parents went swimming. Then we finally sailed back to the Perla Dawn Sails boat and went to a party on the top deck and had dinner. After dinner we went squid fishing but since their were no squid the guide said if we caught ten pieces of toxic waste we could get a free drink. Malcolm and Dale worked together and finally collected 7 plastic bags, (one had water in it so it was super heavy) 1 granola bar wrapper, 1 plastic strip and 1 banana peel with half a rotten banana inside. They should have only gotten one drink to share but they made a mistake and they each got a drink (lemon juice.) Talk to you soon, Malcolmもっと詳しく

Winter in the Mai Chau valley
2019年1月17日, ベトナム ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C
It’s a bit cooler in the mountains! Yesterday, we ate delicious northern Vietnamese fare, and drank shots of rice wine, in jackets and toques. Today was a lovely grey day for a long, green bike ride through rice fields (all recently harvested), and small villages. We were joined by a surprise escort, a village dog (“Snuffles”) who stayed with us for over an hour. Now i am waiting for a sunset in front of our little villa... but I just don’t think it’s going to penetrate this thick white sky... I’m not complaining - it’s very peaceful here!もっと詳しく

The Ancient Vietnamese Village
2019年1月16日, ベトナム ⋅ ⛅ 13 °C
Yesterday we drove to a Vietnamese village that was built in the 16th century. We visited the communal house, dedicated to ‘Tang Huan Lan’ the deceased saint of the village. We also walked around and saw lots of traditional ancient Vietnamese houses, with some cool doors. Then we went into a house courtyard, which was also a restaurant and my parents and I had a very big lunch of rice 🍚, spring rolls 🌯, pumpkin and green bean soup 🍜, chicken 🍗 and mushrooms 🍄, roasted peanuts 🥜, sausage stuffed tomatoes 🍅, and more (for Dale and Malcolm, lunch was orange Fanta 🍹, plain rice 🍚, and peanut butter sandwiches 🥪 🥜). At the restaurant, there was a shed filled with old stuff, but there were also four tiny kittens and two adult cats! 🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈
Then we all rode bikes 🚲 with Thomas (our tour guide), down to a wet rice field. It was extra wet when we got there because it was raining most of the day 🌧. Malcolm and Geoff both planted some rice plants 🌱 in the mud. Then we biked around the Vietnamese countryside, finished back at the restaurant, and drove back to the hotel.

Super cool. Might you convert your yard at home into a rice paddie?

Hanoi, Vietnam
2019年1月14日, ベトナム ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C
Hanoi is really, really loud and busy. It is so difficult to cross the street. There is a lot of garbage and stuff here, but the weather is the perfect temperature. I noticed a lot of coffee shops. I liked riding in the cyclo yesterday even though it was a bit scary being in traffic. Everything looks expensive because the Vientnamese Dong is so devalued (25,000 VND is equal to CAD1.43). I find it sad that people catch turtles and keep them in buckets so people will buy them to throw in the water for “good luck”. My brother and sister and I bought one each to put back in the water just to set them free.

There aren’t as many smiles here as in Thailand. I had fun riding around Hanoi in an air conditioned van. - Malcolm

I like my new stuffie bunnie and my tiny traditional Asian hat. The bendy straws here are really long and bendy. I also like all of the puppies that we met.
- Dale

Hanoi is exhilarating! There is so much action going on all day. I like watching the traffic and seeing everyone driving as if there wasn’t any one else on the road. I also like the sidewalk restaurants with their tiny tables and chairs. There are several small lakes right in town that are fun to walk around. We stopped to help some elementary and college students practice their English. Visiting the Ho Chi Minh mausoleum was fascinating. We are only just beginning to appreciate Uncle Ho’s significance to this country.
- Geoff

I like all the activities that were going on during a Sunday afternoon. A long line of elderly ladies giving each other a massage, a children’s public dance performance, tiny cars for children to drive, circles of teenagers playing a version of hacky-sack with a feathered bell...

We all woke up at 5:45am to catch this beautiful sunrise. Kai made us tea and hot chocolate because it was a little chilly this early in the morning (a brisk 16 degrees C). I have never seen this kind of ocean of mist before, it is an amazing spectacle. It captured Malcolm’s attention for at least two minutes!もっと詳しく

Cave Lodge and Karen Hill Tribe Village
2019年1月9日, タイ ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C
We checked into the Cave Lodge, an Australian/Thai retreat 4.5 hours east of Chiang Mai or a few kilometres from the Burmese border. It has two kittens, hammocks, a nice open fireplace and a ping pong table. Lara and I arranged for a herbal sauna which was a bit disappointing having spent the summer enjoying Uncle Adam’s traditional Finnish sauna. We headed out the next morning for a two day trek to a Karen hill tribe village. Our guides Kai and Tha were super fun. They taught us about northern flora and fauna and how it is integrated into hill tribe culture and daily life. They also showed us how to use a slingshot which kept Malcolm occupied for the rest of the trek. At the end of the first day we did a cave walk with a local tribesman. It was a little scary but not too bad. We spent the night at a homestay with a family from the village. On the way back to the Cave Lodge we followed a river, crossing it with our bags several times. Kai showed us how the local people use bamboo to build houses. Local people grow up learning to use a machete from the age of 7 and it is all they need to survive in the jungle. Rambo, First Blood was a huge hit here when it became available on VHS! Kai explained to us about military service - when Thai men turn 21, they have to register for 2 years of service. He was exempted from service because he won a lottery.
