some late pictures from the trip

most of my trips seem to end with a plane ride - a view of what must be a spectacular blood-red sunset over the western pacific ocean - peeking through the clouds


one of the more interesting meal choices seen on a flight - sambab - rice, meat, condiments wrapped in leaves


they use the exact same krispy kreme donut recipe here as anywhere else - always fresh and always good


a garish facade for a cafe in a fashionable district frequented by university students and young professionals


an animated crowd dancing along to the music at a pop/rock concert while braving the cold evening air of a late autumn


a street food stall vendor getting an early start in preparing for the dinner rush


it turns out everyone needs a break from work every once in a while - a few minutes reading the paper or just plain enjoying a nice afternoon in the enchanted city


remains of a meal at a traditional restaurant on the banks of a river - on the menu were marinated crab and broiled mackerel - or so it would seem
