Back in the zhou

I am safely back in Chenzhou, where the weather is trying to decide if it wants to be winter or allow the tides of Spring to come forth and take its claim.
Thus far, winter is putting up an impressive mark upon this small city in the mountains. It makes for a fairly depressing time here, especially when you have spent the better part of your vacation amongst 85 degree weather in Thailand and the south of China.
I am here to do a job, however.
More pictures and such are on the way and I am going to be getting back into my work mode much more in the coming weeks in the hopes that I will actually get enough content written to make the decision if I want to try to publish it all or not....
So keep your eyes peeled. Read more!

These will be the last images that you will have the privledge of seeing for awhile as I head back to China in a couple of days and dont think I will have much time to be updating the blog. Today is the first day in a week that I have seen clouds--it seems like it is going to rain today, the air is very humid and thick--it would be nice to see a little rain, but I am sure that I will be seeing it soon enough upon my arrival back in Chenzhou.
It has been a good time here in Bangkok--easily the best city I have seen in a long time.



These pictures are all of the the grand palace and the Emerald Buddha temple--without a doubt the largest compound in Thailand. It was an amazing 250 bhat to see it, but well worth it. (250bht is about 8bucks)











Ahhhh, a monk. Actually, this is a monk that I caught smoking, so I asked to take his picture to remind me of him. Every male must become a monk in Thailand for at least two weeks. I didnt want to ask this monk how long he was in for....





And finally a shot of Patpong....
This is about all I was allowed to take before being threatned to have my camera smashed. :) Read more!
