post-Asia, pre-Europe
With a great trip to Asia (the Philippines and Japan) completed, I am pretty excited about heading to Europe (UK, Austria and Poland). So, before I have more pictures, I thought I would post about a few of my Asia favorites. Who doesn’t love pictures and stories?
Tam-awan Village near Baguio, Philippines: Rainforest in the mountains. Amazing recreations of housing, as seen in the picture. Very informative guides and beautiful artwork. And you can stay there.
Pagsanjan Falls, Philippines: Think Apocalypse Now. The side cliffs on the way to the falls were stunning. This is a picture of some huts on the way and one of many waterfalls on the way to the big & famous one.
Gion Matsuri Festival, July in Kyoto, Japan: Coincidence that I was in Kyoto and happened to be on the street for this parade.
Sumida River Fireworks Festival, Tokyo, Japan: This is one of my best travel experiences ever. Fireworks in two places over the river, crowds (1 million people), kimonos, and good food. I stumbled away from the crowds and found a temple/shrine and the fireworks are in the background.
You can find more of my Asia’08 trip photos on Flickr (see the link on the right). I can’t wait to post about my Europe’08 trip!

Thanks! London and Leicester - only two days. A majority of our time will be in Poland.
