This Issue: Health!

Sawasdee krab/ka! Hello!

I went to Bangkok!!! I was in sensory overdrive with the beauty and splendor of the temples, food, markets, and the people.  I’ll share some of the wonder of my experience in Scanning Bangkok, but I am ashamed to describe what I felt about my health during my trip — pain!  My walking, climbing, and cycling screamed at my physical state, and I knew I had to commit to you to do better.  I am encouraged by all of our contributors this issue.
