I had a speaking gig on a cruise ship around Asia for 2 weeks, so I thought I would extend it for a week before and after. Presenting to people from the Americas, Europe, Asia, Australasia, and Africa was fullfilling and it was just great to be in an environment where humans from many parts of the world all got along with each other wonderfully well.
Apart from presenting some history, geography, and cultural facts about countries in Asia, I decided to take on an extreme challenge and climb to Tigers Nest Monastery for the 2nd time, however I was now 9 years older.
The great news is that I made it without passing out or falling off the mountain along the way,
It's a very tough and strenuous trek up steep slopes in a rocky terrain.
The reward for reaching this iconic building is a feeling of substantial achievement and enlightenment, at one of the most sacred places on planet earth.
I visited the following:
- Makati, Philippines,
- Hong Kong, China
- Bhutan in the Himalayan Mountains
- Chiang Rai, Thailand
- Old Phuket Town, Thailand
Fantastic experience.
Go to Asia folks.
