	<description><![CDATA[  From East to West and back again.&nbsp;&nbsp;There is something about Asia that has always held my attention, Somthing here that draws me in and captures my imagination. I feel trapped in my journey sometimes, like I am being carried by some unseen force that I have no comprehention of nor any clue as to its intentions for me. The journey started that way and it will likely end that way, if it ends at all. For now, I am quite happy to let it carry me along, and along the way I will experience all that life has to offer.   &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;   &nbsp;   As well as the journal, &nbsp;please check out the photo site, I would also love input on that. I will update the photo site as much as I possibly can.   Photography          Portfolio  Recent Photos  The Photo Competition  This journal puts the twenty&nbsp; latest entries on the main page, now that I have been at it for a while, older entries are on the right hand side under the link that says Archived posts. Ya the one right there --&gt;  &nbsp;  &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Currently I am in Thailand. Below are flags of the other countries I have visited and hopfully more will be added very soon.   &nbsp;  &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;   &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;   &nbsp;      ]]></description>
