Mr. Lark's Fabulous Adventure

April 18

Easter, April, 2009, Asia, Indochina

   I've made another journey to Asia, this time a different destination (so I'll be adding another country onto my list!). The new thing to visit this time was the Kingdom of Cambodia.  I'm here in Cambodia for a few more hours. 
 I was lucky enough to cross Angkor Wat off my list of things to see. I took about 400 pictures of the temple, and I only saw about one half of the things you're supposed.  Anyways, I've set up a separate album for the photos, I'll add more as I download more. Every temple was something new...whether bas-reliefs, the ruins of a giant reclining Buddha, towering stone towers, aspara dancers carved into stone or the giant heads at Bakon temple.  For my next trip, there still a few places and things left to do there, the Elephant Temple, or the dawn/dusk over the temple itself. Phnom Penh is a pleasant tropical stop too. I visited the usual tourist attractions, plus a stop at the Killing Fields. 
  I was also lucky enough to make a stop in Beijing, Malaysia and, if the generals allow, I'll be in Bangkok in a few hours.
  Enjoy the pictures and when I get home, I'll make some comments or even add a few more pictures!

Asia-2008

I've now paid the last of my 2008 visits to China. I see  from looking at my passport, I've been in China 7 times, Malaysia twice, Vietnam 3 times, Japan twice, Philippines 1 time, plus assorted airport visits to Korea, Taiwan and Thailand.
I noticed a picture from a 1998 visit to Guanzhou, the Haizhu Bridge I think and, next one from this year.  You don't see many bicycles anymore.
Happy 2009!

October, 2008-USA, PRC

Greeting from northern China!
I've been busy here in Shenyan (沈阳)(盛京)(奉天)/Mukden/, paying a visit to a faux peasant village while eating some real peasant food.  Before that, of course, I sampled some of the excesses that Las Vegas has to offer. I've been lucky enough to look around Shenyang a bit, the zoo, and the Shenyang Imperial Palace (沈阳故宫)a surprisingly nice place, I'll be off to Beijing in a couple of hours, more details to follow from there and enjoy my photographs in the meantime!
I was pretty busy in Beijing, but I did manage to visit the Olympic Stadium. I'm devoting another photo album to my visit there.

Plus, a few pictures from my journey to Victoria.
