“A smile is the most beautiful color in the world.” -Master Hsing Yun, founder of the Fo Guang Shan Buddhist order. Had such a special time visiting the largest monastery in #Taiwan this past week, and special thanks to @ReedCriddle and @AustinAndreason for being so welcoming and showing me around!
For the past week, I have been observing schools and visiting the Cold War outpost of Kinmen (pronounced ‘Jin-men’ and formerly known as Quemoy in the English-speaking world) in Taiwan. Kinmen was the site of the last battles of the Chinese civil war, and was later shelled heavily by the PRC’s Liberation Army throughout the 1950’s. In fact, the island group is so close to the mainland that my cell phone network automatically switched to a Chinese carrier! This trip also served as an important reminder for the need of peaceful diplomacy throughout the world, and the urgency to study our history so that we may never repeat the mistakes of our past. Special thanks to all my #Fulbright friends in #Kinmen for being so welcoming and hospitable this past week!!
#Tbt to when @KimberlyPaulsen and @MattSantorufo visited me in Asia!! So awesome seeing you guys. Thanks for truly turning the Kingdom of #Thailand into the “Land of Smiles!!” 🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭#ElephantRetirementCamp #JamesBondIsland #HongIsland #ThaiIceCream #SameSameButDifferent
“Same, same, but different. This Thailish T-shirt philosophy sums up Bangkok, a city where the familiar and the exotic collide like the flavors on a plate of pàt thai.” ขอขอบคุณ (Thank you) Thailand for letting me experience such a special culture and for all of the amazing food and incredible sights!
Had an amazing time today exploring “Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya,” the Kingdom of Siam. This ancient capital of modern-day Thailand was largely destroyed by the Burmese army centuries ago, and is now a UNESCO World Heritage site full of intact temples, monasteries, palace ruins, and beheaded Buddhist statues.
Twin day with mi Mattito, 3.0! . . . . . (We took this picture in January before I left for Asia. Miss you and your entire crew, @MattAtehortua! And shout-out to my little Cookie Monster @Docta.Chris for repping @Columbia, too! Have an awesome spirit week, and I miss you all so much. Keep fighting the good fight!!)
