Construction Everywhere, originally uploaded by Ed Weaver.

You don’t necessarily see it on all the main roads, but you sure do when you get off the main streets.  Lots of remodeling of buildings and new construction, as always, here in Hong Kong.

This is a bad angle, but the architecture here is some of my favorite in the world.  Consistently breathtaking.

Back In Chiang Mai, originally uploaded by Ed Weaver.

The Riverside Guest House is one of the more peaceful places to have coffee in the morning in Chiang Mai, Thailand. But, we’ll be heading to Starbucks here in a few minutes, as its been almost a week without “true caffeine” - Nescafe instant just does not do it for me. Did you know that there are NO starbucks locations in Holland except at the airport in Amsterdam? What a crime!

Holland and it’s water, originally uploaded by Ed Weaver.

Water water everywhere! The weather is beautiful (cool), trees changing color and green grass, all at the same time!

Greetings from the BA Lounge at at London Gatwick - on my way to Amsterdam and then further on to SE Asia later this week.  It’s been a dry summer of travel, but the fall has seemed to generate the need to get on the road.  Was in Northern Europe a few weeks ago, now I’m back and on a roll.

You know, it’s one thing to recognize domestic airports - the familiarity from frequent travel.  It’s another thing to extend your “home” to international airports as well. Gatwick and Suvarnabhumi in Bangkok are starting to get that way - Hong Kong and Taipei are getting close.

I certainly don’t know the flight attendants nor the gatekeepers at the airport lounges, but it doesn’t seem so far fetched anymore. While it’s sad to be gone from my wife and daughter, it also feels good to be out doing projects in other countries again.
