vacation of sorts

had a few spare days - visited a familiar island destination near the equator

some people say that the chicken rice here is the best in the world

the skyline view captured from a garden atop a new casino hotel

it is always nice to find a bar with a good view

same city skyline from sea level

a mangrove in the middle of downtown on the waterfront 

another scene from one of the many food courts on this island nation - this scene occurred literally right in front of me

a beach bar on an artificial island

the beach is nice - perhaps except for the proximity to merchant ships

a good place to take a picture of the dredging barge

there is even a universal studio theme park here

and monstrous resort destinations

back in town, dresses for reasonable prices on display in the indian district

one of the many foodcourt stalls

not sure what is going on here in this store under renovation - sleeping on the job ?  overcome by heat exhaustion ?  paint fumes causing loss of conciousness ?  or perhaps something more sinister ? i just took a picture and briskly walked on

a lady waiting on the temple steps

a pair of slippers on a roadside step by the sidewalk - not sure what's going on here .... 

the morning rain comes down like bullets in this part of town 

a view of the straits
