I read an appalling article recently about how rain forests are being razed to grow palms for palm oil as a fuel additive. I hope you’re right - I’d much rather think they’re just getting stoned.
5 years agoI love how poinsettia grow wild all over SE Asia.
5 years agoI like this photo so I'm glad you couldn't get rid of it! You have been showing us lots of these palms in groves and I think they may be betel palm (areca catechu). Where is Bill when you need him?
5 years agoThere's a really big famous night market in Taipei that you should probably not miss.
5 years agoThe guys on top must have had quite a ride.
5 years agoJust imagine what these rivers look like in the rainy season or after a typhoon.
5 years agoYou're just lucky you didn't accidentally knock the GBO into the lake or you would have either had to dive or live a lifetime of Grumby ribbing.
5 years agoYes! What Andrea said .. your time, talent, and dedication are much appreciated!! A true gift to your readers.
5 years agoI'm sure the GBO enjoyed taking part in Taiwan's tobacco education campaign, but this is more like it.
Ah, the life and adventures of the cycle touring GBO .. so much more scenic and rewarding than sitting in an apartment in Centennial, CO!!
Sorry about the camera mount and glad that it will be an easy fix.
Thanks for all of the great videos and enjoy the break from video editing!
Don't let this guy into your traveler's nightmares!
5 years agoBeautiful! And definitely worthy of 2 appearances.
5 years agoI’m so glad you enjoyed your night market food. I, too, usually take a hard pass on chicken feet, although I did eat them one time because I was offered them by a host. That was a particularly dreamy-looking night market.
I am always struck, every day, by your vivid descriptions and elegant photography. The videos are just icing on the cake. Thanks to both of you for sharing your travels with us, we know very well what a commitment of time and effort and bandwidth that takes.
I don’t doubt that was Chiang’s inspiration here.

It is amazing to contemplate, alright. I had the same reaction in our first visit as we biked across these huge river basins with barely a trickle in them. It was late November then, so also in the dry season. It must be stunning in the spring.
