And just like that, the Asian chapter of our adventure comes to a close. What can we say to capture the beauty and immensity of this experience? There are not enough words, that’s for sure.
Thank you Singapore for Joo Chiat Rd, our first overseas home. Tyler sure did love your architecture and wouldn't shut up about it.

Thank you Tokyo for the best 5 hour layover ever. Such a clean, beautiful city that we hope to visit again one day.
Thank you Indonesia for helping us believe we could get back out there. You were a wonderful surprise as we originally had no plan of visiting you. You quickly become one of our very favorites.
