Thai Food, mostly
I woke up this morning with a feeling I’ve been waiting for during the past three weeks in Thailand: the inspiration to write a final post on Iran and get on with some Thailand blogging. Imagine my disappointment then while looking through my Iran photos to discover that some of the ones that were going…

Learning to scuba dive in Koh Tao, Thailand at Ban’s Diving Resort
Chris and I have now been in Thailand for two weeks and it is truly the vacation from the vacation that we both needed. I cannot think of one thing to complain about. The food is amazing, the weather is perfect flip-flop and bikini weather and we had fun learning to scuba dive! We are…

For now, I think she’ll be concentrating on learning how to rollerblade, which we think is pretty AWESOME.…

Jaywalking in Tehran
Unfortunately we don’t have better footage than this. Trust us: traffic in Tehran is far more “interesting” than presented here. It’s just really hard to get clips when it’s 35 degrees and you’re homesick and hungry. Don't ask why we came to Iran. Better to ask yourself why you haven't been.

The adventures of Laura’s 27th birthday in Esfahan, Iran

From Iran to Singapore?
Hey all, Well, it’s our last few hours in Iran. We’re catching a flight after dinner tonight to Bangkok via Bahrain. Iran has really grown on us, with the friendliest people we’ve met yet. We can now totally relate to celebrities, who have to greet their fans everywhere they go. No, our blog is not…
