This was taken in Chiang Mai, Thailand. I don’t even remember what the big white building in the background was–some government  building. What’s interesting is the teak leaf roofed huts in the foreground. This is the traditional roofing method for a number of the hill-tribe people in that area. We saw such roofs in  both Karen and Hmong villages.

San Ignacio is a quaint town in Belize near the border with Guatemala. It’s a popular hangout for travelers visiting Mayan sites or caves in western Belize. It’s also an easy place from which to visit Tikal (one of the most impressive Mayan sites, which is located in Guatemala.)

Wat Phnom is Phnom Penh’s temple on the hill. I say “the hill” because Phnom Penh is not rife with topography, and there is just the one hill.
