Malaysia - KL

Kuala Lumpur.  Soaring sky-scrapers.  "Massage parlors" on every corner. Temples, churches, mosques, and monasteries, all side by side.  Authentic Chinese, Thai, Indian, and Malaysian food, combining sometimes to create a curious blend of cuisines.

The Petronas Towers.  A very surreal moment viewing this sunset.  A diverse group of people gathered in the park to view the sunset, with Muslim chanting played on loudspeaker, and a very moving backdrop of two leviathan spires rising to oblivion.  Kuala Lumpur was by far my favorite metropolitan in Southeast Asia.  A combination of culture, beauty, and grunge.

Thailand Tigers

Baby tigers.  At this age, they are about as harmless and docile as dogs.  Wish they could stay that way!

Cambodia

A very sombering country.  Beautiful in its own right, with a very resilient and proud people.  Many unforgettable memories from this country.

Our tuk tuk got a flat tire.  This is the repair man's daughter.
