A Picture Says a 1,000 Words


You know you are in SE Asia when......
Food to go....
















Don't let their looks deceive you, kind-hearted people!
Paparazzi















Dedication.  Doing homework on the side of the road.


At school on a Sunday night







Playing in my front yard.



with school bags and all....


Grateful to have my own two wheels.....
Sharing the road, a toll road no less




I hadn't noticed.....


A two way road






A common occurrence

The early bird catches the......






























Rice!



















Decisions, decisions.......


One of my nicer hotels

Anything goes.....










Not as serene as it seems....

The reality 









Needless to say, I went the vegetarian route here.....

Sure.....
Taking care of tourists......

Little did they know....







.......40,000 kilometers later
