Dan's Adventure

At each of the entrances to the Temple of the Emerald Buddha complex stands a pair of giant guards. Brightly coloured and almost as tall as the walls behind them, they really stand out and were infact the most impressive thing that I saw in Bangkok.

When we stopped for lunch on the first day of the Nam Ha trek this butterfly came to join us.

Rivaling the sun bears for being the most dangerous at Tat Kuang Si, these children were being kept safely behind bars whilst their mother sold grilled bananas at the stall between them and the bears.

Throughout Vietnam and Cambodia motorbikes fill up with fuel from little roadside stalls which sell litre bottles of fuel.

On my second day at Angkor, I managed to drag myself out of bed and cycle out to Angkor Wat in time for sunrise.

This photo was taken in a small village near Chau Doc in Vietnam on our way to the border with Cambodia. The man pictured was fishing in the murky water next to his house.

Outside one of the temples of Angkor I saw this sorry sight, the elusive tiger dog.

The things I see being carted about never fail to surprise me. Whether its a whole class of 12 year olds on a cycle rickshaw, a wardrobe on the back of a motorbike, chickens in the luggage compartment under a bus, or something as simple as a mobile garden as in this picture. I spotted this guy outside the Wenshu Temple in Chengdu, it was the cactus that initially got my attention as I hadn’t previously seen any in China.
