Bust in Borneo
I was not too happy to be leaving Cambodia, my favorite country. Nonetheless, I had always wanted to visit Borneo and was excited to finally have the opportunity. Little did I know what I was in for on this trip. Borneo is administered by three countries—Malaysia, Brunei and Indonesia. There is little in the Indonesian …
Sun in Sihanoukville, Cambodia
I knew Cambodia had beaches, but I hadn’t really heard much about them or how beautiful and relaxing they were. The bus ride to Sihanoukville from Seam Reap was daunting at nearly 13 hours over dirt roads and paved roads that were not much better. When we finally made it we were faced with aggressive tuk …
Angkor in Photos
The Angkor complex is one of my favorite places. The temples and structures are truly amazing. There is little I could say to do them justice, so I will simply post some photos I took. I literally took over 1000 images over a three day period of touring the complex. This was my second visit …
Weekly Photo: Deer Cave, Borneo

Several hundred tourists push and shove their way forward to snap just the right shot as the sun rises. Sunrise at Angkor Wat is …
Cambodia After 3 Years
Cambodia is my favorite country. The first time I arrived in Seam Reap three years ago I was immediately in love. The people are beautiful, exceptionally nice and the culture rich. Not much has changed in that regard since I first visited. The people are still beautiful, especially the men. Everywhere you turn there are …
Daily Photo: Otres Beach Sunset, Sihanoukville, Cambodia
Otres Beach is one of the seven beaches around Sihanoukville in Cambodia. The sunsets are breathtaking. I snapped this photo on my friend’s camera when I just couldn’t stand it anymore and had to capture the beauty.
Daily Photo: Yehliu, Taiwan
Yehliu is outside of Taipei to the north. I took the train up with my friend to explore the really cool rock formations. We hiked around until it started to rain. I had a blast seeing all of the really cool rock formations. There are only a few places on earth with these types of …
