Japanese Travellers in Saigon

I met these two Japanese guys at the bus station in Saigon as they were getting hounded by taxi drivers.

Conoci a estes personjaes japoneses en la estacion de autobus de Saigon mientras que los taxistas les perseguian.

Easy does it

Apparently exercise and Hinduism do not mix.

Se ve que el ejercicio y Hindusimo no se puede mezclar.

Get your Picture with a Python

Snakes are incredible, calm beings; I recently held a huge python and could feel it's blood circulating. This dude's stare happened to be almost as hypnotizing as that of the python.

Los serpientes son la hostia, super tranquilos; hace poco tuvo uno alrededor mio y senti su circulacion. La mirada de este tio hipnotiza casi igual que la del python.

Cierrebarres Frugivegano

This dude has his eye on some fruit.

Acaba de ver la fruta por alli.

Batu Caves (Part II)

Visit from a Saddhu

Saddhu's are sacred for many Hindi people, they live very simply having little or no posessions.

Los Saddhu's son sagrados para muchos Indios, tienen una vida muy sencilla con pocas pertenencias.

Batu Caves Temple

Morphed Species

Inside the temple at Batu caves with a fellow traveller (from Mumbai).

Ferris Wheel Fun

These kids were having a blast with this squeaky old relic outside KL.

Estes chavales se lo pasaron pipa con este reliquia ruidosa.

Better to burn out than to fade away

Why is the backdoor where all the crap ends up?

Health Consciousness in Peking

The smoking den is conveniently located next to the clinic.

Airplane Food

This was the last time I'll fly Air China (44 hours with layovers). Luckily they had some fresh fruit on board.

14 Hours in Beijing Airport: 15/02/10

I saw the sunrise and set from the cold glass structure that sits over an hour away from the city. The $200 visa was too much to warrant a day trip in 16 below conditions. Instead I read about life in India as told by Arundhati Roy in The God of Small Things.

Vi el amanecer y el atardecer desde el aeropuerto esteril de Beijing. Para una visita de un dia el visado (que cuesta unos 200 dolares) no vale la pena, encima con 16 grados bajo zero. Me lo pase bien leyendo sobre la vida en la India contada por Arundhati Roy en

Batu Caves Arrival

Making Cayenne Paste in Bayur Market

They use lots of this chili paste in Sumatra, apparently they add it to everything. This guy is grinding up fresh chili peppers with salt to keep the blood flowing.

Lake Meninjau Revisited

Just one of the incredible sunsets we saw during the week we spent here. Pura Vida!

Una de las atardeceres que vimos durante la semana que estuvimos en el Lago Meninjau - Sumatra.

Batu Caves, Malaysia

Batu Caves is located just outside Kuala Lumpur & apparently it is a hot spot for the local Hindu community. More of a party atmosphere than western religious events.

Las cuevas Batu estan en las afueras de Kuala Lumpur. Se ve que es uno de los sitios preferidos de los Hindu locales. Habia ambiente mas bien de fiesta que religioso. Los ninos se lo pasaron muy bien con monos, serpientes y las escultutras psicadelicas.

Republica Cocotera tea set

I saw this brilliant tea pot holder on "Coconut Island" in the Mekong delta.

Mekong Delta

These women were checking out the giant crawfish in our boat.

Chinese New Year 2010

Big celebrations here, everyone goes home to be with family for the holiday. This crew was wandering around the neighborhood here in central Saigon, blessing homes and keeping everyone smiling.

Which wire?

Electricians in this town deserve respect.

Saigon Arrival

BGK Airport

Two hours to spend wandering around the Bangkok airport; I did manage to finally find dried durian with no additives. Not bad but nothing compared to the real thing.

Elephant Exploit

Women & children aren't the only beings exploited around here. These elephants are forced to haul overweight tourists around town & put up with their trainers. My mother always says to treat others the way you'd like to be treated. At least the dogs are having fun.

Las mujeres y los jovenes no son los unicos seres exploitados por aqui. Los elefantes tienen que llevar turistas gordos por la ciudad y aguantar sus entrenadores. Mi madre siemplre decia que hay que tratar a los demas como te gustaria ser tratado. Al menos los perros se lo pasan bien.
