Temple in Bali
We hired a driver for a day our first destination was a temple. The pictures below are from Pura Ulun Danu Bratan. The temple is on the shore of Lake Bratan.
Singapore II
I took these pictures on our way to another orchid display. It was a very hot day but also very windy. I’m glad I was able to take these dragonflies. This is a Malayan water monitor lizard. Here is some information about it monitor-lizards It was during the week when we went to the garden so …
Singapore
Our flight from Kuala Lumpur to Singapore left 5:20PM. It was a short flight, a little bit over an hour. The entrance to the metro station. There were signs like this everywhere the nice part is that in Singapore it works! We had dinner at a mall nearby our hotel. It was almost 9PM. One of …
Kuala Lumpur
We arrived late at night in Kuala Lumpur. Our taxi driver from the airport drove very fast. It seems that there isn’t a speed limit in KL. I know Ali was wishing we had rented a car so he can be happy racing there. We had just a couple of hours left and decided …
Bangkok 1
We took another boat to Wat Arun. There were several food stalls on the way to the boat dock. We went out for dinner that night. We checked out and left our carry-ons with the concierge.

Macau
Around 9:40AM we took a taxi in Hong Kong to the ferry station to go to Macau. We barely made it. It was a 55 minute ride in a High speed ferry. As soon as we left the ferry station it was so easy to find the shuttle bus for the different hotels. Really very well organized. …
Hong Kong
Hong Kong is one of my favorite places. For some reason I feel very comfortable there. It’s the perfect mix of East and West (I guess that has to do with the way I was raised). This was my third time. I thought I was going to take more pictures but once we were there …
Osaka II
We went all around Osaka this day. We went for breakfast to Kurumon Ichiba Market. Fresh wasabi and beautiful persimmons. The sushi looked delicious and I couldn’t eat much. After 2 days taking antihistamines I woke up with very bad vertigo. I was really scared and afraid that raw fish might worsen how bad I …
Osaka
A very nice city with a little bit of everything. Smaller than Tokyo and a very comfortable place. The center was a small network of pedestrian streets that drew a broad cross section of society in the evenings. Here are the bicycle police impounding illegally parked bikes. Nearly everything in Japan seemed to have an …
