Rainy in Singapore: So on our way to check out a photo exhibition at the National Museum of Singapore, Felicia and I had the wonderful opportunity to get stuck at a bus stop in a torrential downpour and watch buses drive by while we waited for the rain to clear to make a mad dash [...]
Monkeys in the Trees! This weekend I headed out with the Wongs (and Felicia‘s Godmother, Beeping), to take on the Treetop Walk, one of the most outdoorsy activities available on my new urban island home. It came out to be about a 10 kilometers circuit of gentle walking (with some stairs and hills involved) and [...]
Back in Singapore: I made it back to Singapore a few weeks ago and within hours of landing I had my camera dropped off with the Canon Service Center here; and since I came in in the morning, and Felicia was at work, I actually was having my camera fixed before seeing my fiance again [...]
Day: 438 At closer inspection today, its true, my camera broke.

Day: 433 Gallery of Today’s Pictures I know I have been in Luang Prabang a day or two too long, but I have a reason. Tomorrow is a festival, with fireworks and giant flaming paper boats on the Mekong. Now how do you expect me to move on when I see the locals decorating the [...]
Day: 432 Gallery of Today’s Pictures With our Presidential election mere days away and the fate of the free world in our hands, it is dawning on me quickly how important this vote is to the world. Every single person I meet immediately brings up the election and how the world is depending on America [...]
Day: 431 Gallery of Today’s Pictures Whats better than jumping off waterfalls into pools below? When you jump, finding a young Lao child surfacing right where your feet will momentarily be… Spreading your legs to do your best to avoid breaking his little neck, and making full Balls to Head contact… OUCH. (By the way, [...]
