One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Watched dolphins play in the surf & counted meteorites on the Paradise Coast, bought a silk carpet in Kashgar (then tried to make it fly), road the Karakoram highway, discovered ancient buried cities in Turpan, became a pirate on the Li River, drove my 1975 Vespa through the alleys of Hanoi, motor-biked my way through the valley & hill tribes of the karst mountains of Northern Vietnam, went night swimming in the phosphorescent surf of Vietnam & Cambodia, accidentally celebrated Songkran and got drenched for it, marvelled at the beauty of the people & temples of Southern India, enjoyed Southern Indian cuisine while breathing in the sunset over the Arabian ocean, hiked the Annapurna circuit, paid homage to humanity at Veranasi & took a swim in the Ganges at Rishikesh. If anything, it’s a good start.
