Elephants that Paint! (Maesa Elephant Camp, Chiang Mai, Thailand) 2010
If you’re an elephant fan like me, then visiting the Maesa Elephant Camp just 1/2 hour from Chiang Mai is not to be missed. Along the way, you see various other theme parks(i.e. Snake camp, Orchid Park, Tiger Park... the list goes on). But Maesa is definitely the highlight. Elephants that can paint, play soccer and basketball… it was a lovely show and worth the trip. I’d even do it again.
Thai movie filming location (Sukothai, Thailand) 2009
So far I’ve seen movies being filmed in the U.S. and even Nepal. In NYC, I just couldn’t get away from movie sightings! Visiting the old Sukhothai park of wats, I accidentally stumbled upon the filming of a Thai movie/tv series !

Sushmita Sen sighting in Mcleodganj (Dharamsala, India) 2011
Between seeing the Dalai Lama or running into a famous Bollywood star, I knew it’d have to be one of the two for me. Some yoga students in my school coincidentally got to ride in the same plane as the DL. Me? No such luck. But seeing Sushmita Sen emerging from a shop in Mcleodganj was an equal high. The energy that day was electric!
Tibetan monks of Dharamsala (Mcleodganj, Dharamsala, India) 2011
Crimson robes and shaved heads, chanting Buddhist rituals of ‘Om mane padme hum’ are everywhere in Mcleodganj. It’s one of the greatest pilgrimages spot in the world and one of the holiest places on earth.

Tour of a Moroccan Tannery (Fez,Morocco) 2007
If you pass by a tannery, you’ll know it. What is that stink smell? A guide shoves a peppermint leaf by your nose and encourages you to continue following…. when you arrive there, it’s quite a site to see!

Muslim Prayer Calls (Fez, Morocco) 2007
It was my first night sleeping in the town of Fez. I awoke at 3AM to this eerie sound…
