What a jam-packed year this has been! I'm tempted to nickname 2016 the 'year of the visitor' because looking back now, I'm still amazed at how many friends and family made their way to Asia over the past twelve months.
Peppered among these visits were quite a few indelible voyages of my own: the unforgettable Chinese New Year spent in Burma, my two-week work stint in Thailand, that two day business trip down to Jakarta, a couple of memorable weeks back home and, of course, some vacation time in Cambodia with Heidi! Phew!
As usual, I've put together a visual re-cap of the year that is about to expire, as I prepare to say farewell to what has been one long, madcap, sleepless, rollicking adventure! I know I'll keep these memories forever... Bring on 2017!
