The continent of Asia has always held a certain wonder for me. A place so rich in history and culture that you could spend a lifetime there and not see everything there is to see. Well I didn't have a lifetime to spend but I was afforded two weeks in April of 2008 so I took a vacation there with my brother and a good friend. More specifically we visited the countries of Japan, South Korea, and Thailand. The following blogs are my attempts to process and reflect back on what was, for me, a truly amazing experience. 
My journey to the Far East was such a whirlwind tour. There was so much to see and do but with only a limited amount of time. We wanted to see the sites, try the local cuisine, experience the culture and before we knew it our time in one country was over and we were off to the next. Sixteen days came and went and soon we were on a plane heading back to the U.S., overwhelmed and completely exhausted.
Now that I'm home I've had a chance to relax and go over the many, many pictures we took. It has been helpful because while on tour it all went by so quickly. It was a constant blur of sights and sounds. The photos help me to remember the course of events and relive certain moments that might have otherwise slipped my mind. So I'll start my series of blogs with Tokyo, the first stop on our jaunt across Asia.
