it's been a while alright. Nice posts! thanks.

Some sculptures around town. The "8" and the Foam People are temporary installations while the Fu Dogs which guard the Fullerton Hotel and the metal fish (found outside the Central Mall near Clarke Quay) are not.

I love how the blue of her shirt is reflected throughout the scene... this was just luck.

Coming home from dinner one night we came upon this blacksmith. The street was dead except for him...

We took a trip to Halong Bay and this is the view from the summit of Titop Island. Our boat was the one on the right.

Some enterprising ladies sidled up to our boat to sell us shells and pearls...

From the bus on the way to Halong Bay. Certain stretches were lined with ladies selling fresh bread. The Vietnamese have mastered the art of good French bread. I really wanted to stop and buy some.

This doesn't really show it well but it gives you an idea of the chaos of wires strung throughout the streets of Hanoi.

Saw these on flickr - this one is my favorite. Great sense of motion.

I just wish I could have held it a little more steady so the rider on the right was just a little more crisp. I was sitting in a trishaw myself at the time so it was tricky to capture in the low light.

OK. New phone and new camera.

This is my bag. There are many other bags like it, but this one is mine.
