You can tell that Bandi and I were the best of friends!

Page 6: Gingie's Adventures in Asia

On my first day…I enjoyed the warm weather! Because Bangkok is located close to the equator the weather is nice and warm all year round!

Page 7: Gingie's Adventures in Asia

Ahh…How nice!

Gee…is it really snowing in El Paso???!!!

Page 8: Gingie's Adventures in Asia

Uh-Oh…Too much sun…I was really burnt!

Page 9: Gingie's Adventures in Asia

To help me feel better, Mrs. Ortega took me to see the doctor…

This is a spirit house. Most buildings in Bangkok have a smaller house like this where the spirits live.

A few days later we flew to Macau and then took the speed boat to Hong Kong. These areas are now part of China.

Page 28: Gingie's Adventures in Asia

Here I am in Macau. Macau was settled by the Portuguese so many of the buildings were built by them.

Page 29: Gingie's Adventures in Asia

The Portuguese brought the Catholic religion with them to Macau.

Since Macau is Chinese there is lots of Chinese culture. Here is a typical Chinese dragon.
