Sunrise in Nha Trang, Nha Trang, Vietnam

A short 1 hour flight northeast of Saigon brought us to the beach city of Nha Trang. The second night we were there I could not sleep after we got back late, so I watched as the sun was rising just outside our hotel room. What a beautiful view at 5am!

Swimming in the Waters of Nha Trang, Nha Trang, Vietnam

Swimming in the waters of the Nha Trang beach – so nice and relaxing! The sun was setting and appaarently, this is when everyone goes to the beach to swim. Used my handy underwater camera case to get this picture with our hotel in the distance. Fun times for AnThu’s bachelorette party in Nha Trang!

What an adventure it has been! Finally blogging again. It’s been a while! Asia has been so much fun. Hot and humid, but somehow when I come back with pictures everyday, I forget how hot and sweaty I was. My trip started in Vietnam. Saigon is a really busy city – things going on all […]

Fall Leaves, Kyoto, Japan

This a photo from my trip to Japan back in 2009. Japan was such an amazing place to travel to. It saddens me when I watch coverage of everything going on over there. My thoughts and well wishes are with those in Japan in the aftermath of the earthquake and tsunami.

Reminiscent of the Christmas Markets in Germany, this was set up at the base of the Umeda Sky Building in Osaka.It was complete with sausages, drinks, and crafts, including these colorful ceramic houses. Markets like this are so much fun!

[5/365] Leaves Ready to Fall, Kyoto, Japan

For some reason, I really like this picture because of the background and how the orange of the leaves and the blue of the sky merge together. This was a tree outside of the Golden Palace in Kyoto, Japan just before leaves were going to fall to the ground.
