kanachanburi tale


okay, so it's not really a tale, but i am nothing if not a lover of classic literature, so i threw that title out there...blogger.com is not letting me into the last post, so i'm gonna put up a bunch of pictures on this one...enjoy!

i discovered, by the way, that i can take cool nightime photos (although at lower resolution) using the picture function on my digital video camera! so here's some pix from when i went walking around the spooky 900-year-old temples in ayuthaya at night...

it seems like every trip to asia some of my favorite moments always involve sitting around in a mellow restaurant somewhere near the water, listening to some guy with an acoustic guitar mangle the words to sixties and seventies rock songs. such was the case in ayuthaya the other night: the weather was cool, the people were a friendly mix of thai locals and jovial europeans, the drinks were pineapple-intensive and cheap, and the guy singing was getting about three out of every four words right, but no one cared, because it was just a nice relaxing evening, the kind i wish could go on forever.
