Ok, so maintaining a travel blog is way more difficult than I imagined, especially while moving at the fast pace of our trip. There are so many new sights and experiences everyday, it's hard to find time and be alert enough to do any blogging. Under the circumstances, and with recurring wi-fi issues, we had to give up a bit on the blog.
Plan B: over the next several weeks, as we settle in back home, we'll recount some our favorite experiences from the second half of our trip, and make additions to what we've posted so far. I'd like to try and remember some experiences that required some thought and reflection that weren't accessible at the time.
It's been a great trip filled with memorable experiences, but we're ready to go home and see our family and friends.
I'm also excited to get started on my food project. Over the past year or so it's become a priority of mine to chronicle my parents' recipes and experiences with food. Not only from their decades in the restaurant business, but also food at home (e.g. typical dinners, simple lunch-box food, what we eat on special occasions such as Chinese New Year, etc.). It will be completely new territory for me to get into the story-telling (sometimes tearful) and video-editing (never boring) that I'm envisioning, but that's all part of the excitement.
Looking forward to coming home!
