In search of an opportunity to experience another way of life, teach at an orphanage, and immerse ourselves in a vastly different culture, we boarded a plane in Boston and four stops, twelve time zones, and 28 hours later we emerged in the tropical heat of Denpasar, Bali. Please have a look at some great captioned photos and share in our experience. As any good Balinese would do, we offer thanks for your curiosity and friendship.

Scouts in Thailand. We've seen some of these kids walking along the roadside with 8 foot long bamboo poles used as blow guns for shooting lizards.

Along the pathway in Cambodia, the sign says it all, "Beware of land mines."

With all this talk about Emily and the squat toilets, I know you've been wondering...

There must be 10 dogs for every person in Thailand. At times we have to stop the car to clear dogs out of the road. The big question is, "How come we don't ever see any dog poop?"
