SE ASIA Pt. 1 - Intro

What it do? Had work this morning, played some ball, went for a run and then ate some food - swell day. I'm chilling under the warmth of the heater at the mo, listening to some beats and finally getting a little motivation to start processing the photos I took during my backpacking expedition earlier this year (SE Asia - April & May). Better late than never huh... anyways I'll try and bust out as many posts as I can before I leave for Melbourne (nearly 2 weeks away, skeet skeet skeet).

Below is a map of South East Asia. The main spots I wanted to hit on the tour were Vietnam, Thailand and Cambodia. I can finally check them off my places to explore list. Next tour will mos def include Borneo (traditional Borneo hand tattoos by tribal head-hunter elders anyone?), Burma (If they let me in) and ofcourse Laos. Laos was originally on the cards as it lies between Vietnam, Thailand and Cambodia... however, due to time constraints I had to prioritise and Laos was at the bottom of the list (wanted to spend more time in Vietnam). Next time Laos. next time..

Departed P-town on the 12/04/09 and arrived in Kuala Lumpur for transit before the short leg to Vietnam (first country of my SE Asia tour). I had about 5 hours to kill, so I got my backpack & daypack and jumped on a bus to KL central. I didn't realise the airport is like an hour away from KL central. Caught a train from the central train terminal to the KLCC stop. This is the stop adjacent to the Petronas Towers. The only thing I wanted to do during the short transit in KL, was to check these towers out and grab a photo or two. Did that, walked around a bit, copped some food and made my way back to the airport.

Had my 50mm on the D60 so my field of view was lacking, hence only managed to capture the top half of the tower(s). But you get the point.. towers be big. Next post will cover the entry point (and also exit point) of my SE Asia tour, Ho Chi Minh!.. city.

Peace.
