Last Images Of Asia

A favourite pastime in South East Asia is the traditional game of "Stuff Livestock With Precious Metals". Dan and I got into this in a big way. So far 30 cows have kicked the bucket with silver, 79 geese had their fill of bronze and we managed a staggering 288 Cadmium Yaks. YUSS !

Dan gave them a bit more of a chance than I did. That's right Son, get 'em down yer throat !



















I hate melodicas, more so than any other instrument. Who made these bastard things popular again ? I have a strong suspicion it was Damon Albarn. Anyway, this is Bangkok's Melodica Army - behind bars. Where they belong.

Our mate Kung, who kindly allowed me to take a picture while she was praying at Wat Su That.

















Rambutan - a sort of lychee, often hospitably served up to us, often very unsubtley left uneaten (after making a big show of eating one each).
