Asia

You know one thing I really like about Asia is it's diversity and it's samness. I just got back from spending four weeks in Thailand and it's really different then Mongolia. It actually has water close by, and shock of all shocks--fruit! I loved it. The last week I was there, I sat on the beach eating fruit. It was wonderful. It is also very humid, where as Mongolia is very dry. Thailand relies a lot on plants. Mongolia depends a lot on animals. Motorcycles are everywhere in Thailand, but not really in Mongolia. So there are many differences. But there are many likenesses. Family, respect, hospitality, superstitions are all very important in both places. They both have people that they idolize. In Thailand, it's the king. In Mongolia, it's Chinggis Khan. It's amazing how they can be so different, yet so much alike. It's really cool. I'm sure it's like that everywhere. I just noticed it between these two countries.
