Half way around the world
There’s no cut and dried way to tell where the half-way point is, because you can think of it in terms of time, or geography. Either way though, we’re at or past the half way point now. Day 79 of 157 was the day we travelled from Kathmandu to Chitwan National Park in Nepal. That was a week ago (when I wrote this, two weeks by the time it’s published).

BKK is more than okay

We were a little confused at checkin since the concierge took us one floor higher than we had listed on our AirBNB itinerary. He assured us that the owner had called and asked for the switch. We confirmed that the units were identical “same-same” is how he put it
