Location: Everywhere!
Did I mention that I love McDonalds?
Location: Cairns, Australia
When it comes to fast food J and I sit on opposite sides of the table. I am a McDonalds fan through and through. J swears by Burger King. Fortunately for me J usually gives me what I want and we haven't eaten at Burger King in years!
J finally managed to get his Jr. Whopper in Australia, but our Burger King-free streak technically still continues.
Location: Rome, Italy
One of the most facinating things that we saw in Rome was a sundial-like thing that was constructed inside a church that use to be a Roman bath.
Sundial-like thing = Meridian Line.
Church = Santa Maria delgi Angeli e dei Martiri.
Roman bath = Baths of Diocletian.
We spent over an hour analyzing every detail of the sundial. In the end we concluded that it could tell you the approximate day of the year and time of the day. It even had a star chart! It was so cool that J wanted to go back on his birthday just to see where the light fell on the line. Unfortunately, we never made it.
Location: Beijing, China
These signs were posted at all bus stops around Beijing. Here's the translation:
12 o'clock position: I am courteous!
2 o'clock position: I am happy!
10 o'clock position: I line up!
6 o'clock position: The 11th of every month is get-in-a-line day!

Memories:
- M vs. Rain Clouds - did M manage to set up a dry tent by herself before the downpour began? Yes she did!
- J gets caught in the downpour while bike riding to camp.
- Saving a lamb from the river by boat
- Sitting in the front of the raft! That will never happen again!
- Cliff jumping
