A Glimpse of Asia Photo Blog

Here are a few pictures to show you my every day life in Asia!  

Meet our Chinese translators , Leo and Calvin.

We played with these kids when doing children's ministry in the slums of Harbin.

St. Sophia's in Harbin is a Russian Orthodox Church turned art museum.

Ready to travel to Thailand!  I carry over half my body weight when we travel!

Evidence of the fight against trafficking is visible on the streets of Chiang Mai.

Manicures from 4 year olds were common in Thailand.

McDonalds in Thailand is very Thai. (Notice 3 of the 5 of us are wearing Thai clothing.  It's our favorite.)

Elephant riding and petting was so fun, but their kisses are a little too wet.

We made friends with a National Geographic film crew at Angkor Wat.

These bracelets were left as a memorial to those who were killed during the Khmer Rouge at Choeung Ek Genocidal Center.

Everyone from my team had a bite of this snake. It was gross.

We loved playing games with our host family in Cambodia!

Sephora in Kuala Lumpur means free makeovers for Racers!

The largest Hindu idol on Earth is located in Malaysia. (And, yes, walking up those stairs was difficult.)

We held a character building class in a Malaysian Hindu home which opened doors for further sharing of the Gospel.

On Christmas Eve, we got hot Milo (similar to hot chocolate) in plastic bags – a typical Malay drink!

We mad friends with these sweet girls in Japan.

This beautiful dessert, manju, is made out of sweet beans. We ate them at our Japanese tea ceremony

You can get warm coffee and tea out of Japanese vending machines! Genius.

I still have a few days left in Japan, so I will be posting more on our activities here soon.  I will also be posting a blog soon on questions people have asked me about the Race.  If you have any questions, message me or comment below, and I will answer them in that upcoming blog.
