Taken December 2013 in Kuala Lumpur
Back from my travels to Kuala Lumpur and Phuket, I’m ready to resume blogging. I’ve got a ton of new pics to sift through. Here’s a first installment.

DAILY PHOTO: China in Thailand

Taken on January 5, 2014 between Phuket Town and Rawai Beach.
One of the cool things about Phuket is a huge Chinese influence relative to other parts of Thailand. Phuket Town is loaded with historic Chinese shrines of all sorts. However, there are also many more modern ones, such as the one above, around the island.

DAILY PHOTO: Fog Rolls in for a Crab
Taken on Christmas Day on Phuket, Thailand.
This photo turned out a bit otherworldly. It’s a crab on a barnacle-covered rock who is about to be swamped by a boulder-churned slab of white water.

DAILY PHOTO / FUN FACT: Malaysia’s Flag
Taken December 21, 2013 in Kuala Lumpur.
The Malaysian and U.S. flags have a common ancestor in the East India Company (specifically the British EIC) flag which flew from 1707 to 1801. Hence, their similar design scheme. The Malaysian flag has one more bar, but started off with two fewer than the US flag. (On the US flag the 13 bars represent the original colonies, but in the Malaysian flag they represent the number of states–which has grown.)

A Brief Hiatus
I’ll be traveling in Southeast Asia for the better part of a month. During this time my posts will be sporadic at best.
However, upon my return I should have plenty of photos and a few stories from my visit to Malaysia and southern Thailand. In addition to hanging out on the beach and visiting temples, shrines, and restaurants, I’ll spend a couple of weeks training muay thai and bjj in Phuket.
Best wishes,

Taken November 23, 2013 in Belur, India
This may be my last Daily Photo post for almost a month. If I do get any in, they’ll be sporadic. However, upon my return I will have lots of new posting fodder from Malaysia and Thailand.

DAILY PHOTO: Commercial Street Storefront
Taken December 7, 2013 on Commercial Street in Bangalore.
This is one of the more ornate and less modern storefronts on Commercial Street.
Commercial Street is the heart of a market district in central Bangalore. It’s a short street that runs parallel to, and a few blocks north of, MG Road.
