OUR INTREPID TRAVELER WENT TO UGANDA AND ALONG THE WAY MADE STOPS IN SOUTH KOREA, CHINA, INDIA, AND ETHIOPIA!!!

Oh yeah...Tom's friend, Emily, tagged along as well.



These are some choice shots of Tom in South Korea's Incheon International Airport.















During his layover in New Delhi, Tom read the newspaper. He likes to keep current on world events, don't ya know?

Tom, who travels incessantly, is something of a connoisseur when it comes to airplane food. He ranked this particular meal among the top in his experience.

Tom loved Uganda. Here he is next to the nile river!!! Did you know that the source of the nile is in Uganda?
It was a real thrill for Tom to see a real live Giraffe.
Tom especially loved Emily's brother-in-law, Jared White, and appreciated the important work he is doing with Invisible Children. It was a surprise to me when I learned that he altered his will upon returning to the United States to leave all of his earthly wealth ($0.17, a button and a werther's original just slightly used but still in its original wrapper) to Invisible Children upon the unfortunate occasion of his death.

Gulu, Uganda.

Despite being careful to always sleep under mosquito netting, Tom still came down with Malaria. Poor Tom!

Here is Tom blasting away on his horn directly into the ear of Emily's Father-in-Law, Joel White. Joel and his wife Chris live in Beijing, China!




Here is Tom later in the trip kicking back in the White's beijing apartment. As a native of Taiwan, Tom has mixed feelings about China, but enjoyed his stay there nonetheless.

Many thanks to Emily White for letting Mr. Ping hi-jack her trip. Tom loves the Whites!!!
