Our Siem Reap Apartment

Tadashi and our good friends: Horn, DJ and Sophath
As you probably know, Tadashi and I came to Siem Reap to finish our book.  Since we'll be here for over a month, we thought it wise to get an apartment so we could spread out, have two desks and cook.  Our good friend
Sophath helped us find a great 1-bedroom place, in the center of town, but on a quiet street.  (Well, quiet except for the construction going on next door, which I'll write about later.)  The best part: it's only costs $10 a night more than our guest house.

We had our firsts guests on the very first night, before we even had any food.  The first (and only!) things we bought were water, vodka and tonics.  What else do you need?  It's a great place.  Take a look:

ParaHawking!

A friend of ours had told us about Parahawking in Nepal. It's paragliding using hawks to find the good thermals. We watched a bunch of YouTube videos before we left, and were very excited to go once we arrived in Nepal. The parahawking is done in Pokhara, Nepal -- a 7-hour bus ride from Kathmandu. We were able to fly with two Egyptian vultures, Bob and Kevin. The great part is that we each got a falconry glove and were able to feed the vultures mid-air! In the picture at left, you see Bob on my fist as well as Tadashi and Brad in the background (Tadashi's in front). It was absolutely amazing.

Shark! Jellyfish!! Turtle!!!

After my moonlit dip, I slept like a rock, as I often do when there's an ocean nearby. Unless there's also a fog horn. Or a mosque.  I woke up to use the bathroom and realized that dawn was just breaking. It was a gorgeous morning, so I decided to climb the Kanawa Island hill to watch the sunrise. It was beautiful.

A Follow-up to Tadashi’s Blog - UPDATED March 11

I thought I should follow-up on Tadashi’s blog, On Leaving Rajasthan. Tadashi and I both wanted to share why we left Rajasthan, but we were not sure how much of the story to tell. While we had heard reports of “some women” in Rajasthan being given a hard time, neither of us were prepared for the gravity of the problem. We decided it was important to share just how bad the situation is there for women.
