I think this is our tenth straight day of cloud and rain. On the plus side the humidity finally dropped yesterday, and I […]

From the youngest to the oldest, the Balinese wear their very best when attending temple ceremonies. This little fella was dressed to the “nines” in his Udeng (hat), white shirt, and Kamden (cloth worn from the waist down.) However, that didn’t stop him from trying to have a bit of fun at the gamelon (a […]

Here I am in the KAL Lounge at Incheon Airport waiting for my flight to KL. The trip to the airport was uneventful once I told the taxi driver who was taking me to the bus stop to STOP going through the red lights. He laughed, but he listened. I am always impressed with the […]
