Rais not updated with another side of history
|
Malaysia |

the great bali escape: may ‘09: day four: mengwi, bratan lake, buyan lake, tanah lot
|
Malaysia |
One of the things I wanted to see in Bali is a temple. I didn’t really care which temple because to me, most temples look alike. Seen one, seen them all. Perhaps not the most culturally-sensitive things to say especially in a place renowned for its beautiful temples. Well, there are lots of te...more info>>>

Midnight on a Saturday I was walking back to my apartment, the only other life around. The man wore a sharp suit, holding up his stumbling partner bent in 2, dressed smart also, drunk but where they'd been drinking I couldn't guess. There aren't any bars in the direction they were coming from that I...more info>>>

Two steps behind.

Japan |
I am, at best, always a little behind the times.This is not a joke. Nor is it a problem.There are times when everything is like walking on the bottom of a pool.
