KLCC, 2nd Time 'Round

UPDATES

Selamat Something.

I've been working to update my blog, in the never-ending attempt to keep it more current. Just added: Scuba diving videos from Thailand (I left them at the top for now for easy access), and some videos from Ubud, Bali, including the riotous kids that I found taunting monkeys, and the monkeys themselves. For fotos, I just added more NZ, Thailand, and Malaysia fotos. Indonesia is yet to come.

Connection problems plague me here, perhaps related to the earthquake that recently junked the underwater cables off the coast of Taiwan. I can't imagine it's always this slow. What this means is that it's hard for me to view the blog in its best state. Hard to tell if fotos are really scrapped or if they're just loading improperly. Any comments are welcome. I'd love to hear if it's gelling, and even more if it's not.

As the sign on the lawn said last night, this blog is a "Work in Progress". Certain posts need to be re-ordered and have text added to them. Some cultural context is sorely needed. Some of the references to drinking could, perhaps, be deleted. Again, work in progress.

One helpful note: The videos can be better viewed at:

Before you take the time to mention it, yes, the videos are whimsical, even scurrilous. But wtf, mate, have some fun with them... I did...

That's it for now. Thanks for looking.

Peace,

JC

Back in Bali - Legian

This is pretty much Kuta/Legian in a nutshell. Gas disguised as alcohol, pub crawls disguised as culture, and condos disguised as housing...

Yogyakarta, Java - Driving Shots

Took these driving back from Borobudur into Yogya. Please excuse the fuzzy focus and framing (or oft-lack thereof). A slice of life in and around the Javanese road, taken from the back of a van moving very rapidly...
