To the Little Green Bee-Eater a barbed wire fence is not a symbol of oppression, or a means of control, but a convenient perch from which to observe insect movement in the field.
Like a huge pod of sleeping whales, just off the coast of Singapore, hundreds of vessels of all shapes and sizes wait for work ...the size of the pod may be a primary indicator of the health of World Trade.
Singapore has railways, and some of the neatest rail-yards...on show if you look carefully when landing at Changi Airport.
Going back to Singapore to work for a few weeks.
As the airbus lifts off from Bangkok there are reminders that the city rests in the swamp of the Chao Phraya River delta. Yar Yar is a street cat.
She is about the same age, size and colour as our Smoky, but she lives on the street and seems to be continuously pregnant or busily foraging for her brood. She is good-natured and playful, and gentle and appreciative about accepting offers of food gifts. Na sometimes buys a small deep-fried fish for Yar Yar, who accepts it and carries it back to her kittens. Here she is under a food cart, cleaning her face after snacking on a giveaway from the friendly pork noodle vendor. Bangkok...where major political disruption fails to make a dent of the city's commercial exuberance...
Promotion gals, on a city street, offer samples of a new drinking yoghurt product, while passing guys stop in their tracks to admire gorgeously long legs revealed all the way by billowing skirts... Bangkok is unique...Life is Good! |
