The smell of roasting chestnuts seems a little out-of-place in a Malaysian Chinatown, but there’s no rule saying you must see your breath to savor this Christmas treat. Plus, you can eat them in the comfort of shorts and a tank top.

There is no smile
worn by a crocodile,
that’ll induce me to pet him.
There’s no grin,
neither wide nor thin,
that extends my treasured limb.
Save your beaming.
It looks scheming.

Jor Ong is one of Phuket Town’s numerous Chinese Shrines. You’ll note the prominent white tiger painting.
Taken in October of 2012 at Angkor, Cambodia.
I was just doing some research on 13th century Angkor, and so I figured I’d dig back to 2012 for a photo from my visit there.

I took this on Jalan Alor, Kuala Lumpur’s famous food street. It was early, well before dark when the street gets thronged with hungry travelers. The fruit stands were just getting erected and the frog porridge was simmering.
Taken in January of 2014 at Kata Beach on Phuket.
I took this with a phone as the sun was getting low. It’s taken at the north end of Kata Beach, which is separated from the south end of Karon Beach by a little promontory. It’s either blurry or minimalist, depending on whether you like it or not. The boats were in for the night, and the sun was shimmering hard.

In Kuala Lumpur’s City Gallery there’s a model of the city that is part of a video presentation on the city. They darken the hall, play a film, and there are lights to highlight certain buildings or roadways as mentioned in the video.
It’s nifty and it’s free. The City Gallery is adjacent the famous “I♥KL” sign, near Independence Square and the Sultan Abdul Samad Building (Offices of the Ministry of Information, Communications, and Culture.)

This little bird was going all Daniel-san, reading itself to lay a boot to the head.
