Cool South East Asia Photos







- River Boat on Tonle Sap, the biggest lake in Asia








- Brad and I working on earning some good karma by giving pencils to Cambodian school children












- And I thought the big yellow Ontario buses were a bad way of getting to school...












- Proof that capitalism is taking over the globe: small child selling us cans of coke and beer in the middle of Tonle Sap Lake












- A few pics of the AMAZING Jungle Temple in Siem Reap, Cambodia. The trees have grown up, over, through and along the ruins of this 900 year old Hindu Temple.

















- Brad earning a metric tonne of good karma at the blood bank in Siem Reap. I tried, but apparently, I am a vien-less freak and the nurse could get no blood out of me...d'oh...


- The not so beautiful sights of Cambodia: the below two shots were taken on The Bad Day in Phnom Penh.






























- Our great and shockingly cheerful Cambodian guide, Sareoun, and the rest of us having an excellent home cooked meal.











- Enroute to VietNam, this is an old-school river barge floating down the Mekong.






- Me on a motor cycle in Chau Doc, Viet Nam. Who needs helmets anyway, right?















- Brad making friends (read mooching beer) with the locals!









- Enroute to Ho Chi Minh City; ferry passenger taking a, no doubt, well earned break.










- This one is for you Dad! Do you think the total absense of rails and life jackets would meet Transport Canada's safety requirements? (Note: I am standing on the top deck of the ferry, so the drop to the water is about 10 feet down).

















- View of Ho Chi Minh at night from the Sheraton....great view and great Singapore Slings!
