#1 Expedition, Mount Kazbek, Georgia

First, @ctdots continues his expedition up Mount Kazbek, Georgia. After a poor sleep and altitude sickness kicking in, he wonders what his next move should be. He starts by trying to collect some water from a nearby glacier to make a coffee and come up with a plan. The group decides to continue on. However, as they make their way towards the summit basecamp under some less-than-favourable conditions, he contemplates all the things that could go wrong if they attempt the summit. Will he make it to the top? You'll have to wait for the next post to find out.

#2 The Artists House, Bangkok, Thailand

Next, @waybeyondpadthai shows us around the Artist's House in Bangkok, Thailand. This chilled out place along a canal is home to an art gallery and puppet performances. These intricate Thai puppets require a high level of skill to operate as you can see in her video. The show is free to watch but you may be roped into participating if you're lucky/unlucky. On the second floor is the art gallery showcasing different Thai style masks, with a great view of the canal. It's definitely worth seeking out if you want to get away from the crowds in the city centre.

#3 Ming Tombs DingLing, China

Finally, @aaronli continues his journey around Beijing, this time exploring the Ming Tombs, China. Dingling is the joint burial tomb of the 13th Ming emperor Zhu Yijun, Wangli and his two wives. The area of the tomb is around 180,000 square meters, which is similar to a small district. As he walks around exploring the various chambers and relics kept at the site, he reflects on the financial and human costs that would have come with constucting such an extravagant place.
