A Perspective of Bangkok

This was I think my second visit to Bangkok. My first trip was probably more than 10 years ago. All I cared back then was the food and the shopping. Now however, I was more observant and appreciative of my surroundings. I visited Bangkok as a tourist, joining a package tour that brought us to the usual tourist spots, but I hope that my perspective is something a bit unique compared to others.

The Petronas Tower at KL

My brief stay at Kuala Lumpur Malaysia didn’t allow me too much free time, but at least I was able to afford a quick visit to the Petronas Tower. I didn’t dwell very long in the city but I was able to take a few snapshots of the place.

Mai Khao Beach Phuket

Mai Khao beach in Phuket is probably the best beach I’ve ever been to. I think it’s the best not because of the usual things that makes beaches well-known. I really liked Mai Khao beach in Phuket because of the extreme calm and serenity I felt there. Although the beach was near several hotels and resorts, the actual beach was deserted and virtually undeveloped. I could have walked kilometers along it’s shoreline without ever seeing another person. I would have taken a lot of pictures while I was there had I brought my DLSR with me. (I hate that I didn’t have my DSLR when I really needed it.)

Walt Disney World Architecture

No matter how old I get, I think I’ll always love Disney World. However, my favorite theme park within the huge Disney World complex, is Epcot. When we went there last 2007, I thought I took enough pictures of the place. But it seems like enough pictures back then is not the same as enough pictures right now. Anyway, check out the pics that I thought were at least decent out of the lot. I have a photo of the classic Disney castle as well.

Shanghai Museum and the Old City

I only brought a point-and-shoot camera with me during my trip to Shanghai. I mostly got bad pictures to show from the trip but nevertheless, I’m posting some of them h anyway. We went to the Shanghai Museum and although I don’t normally appreciate ancient art, I had fun taking pictures of the sculptures on display. We also visited the Old City which is like a gem in the middle of ultra-modern Shanghai. It was a fun and worthwhile trip — it’s a shame I wasn’t able to bring my DSLR.

Scenic Sydney

I just discovered photos I took from our 2007 trip to Sydney, Australia. I have so much photos and so little time that sometimes I just dump them in my hard drive where they are left and ignored for a long time. Seeing these photos bring back some fun memories. We only spent 5 days there but we were able to visit a lot of scenic spots around the city (and the surrounding country). I purchased my D40 right before we left for the trip (it was my first DSLR) so please pardon me if these photos are a tad underexposed.

Fruits and Vegetables

If I put boredom, a grocery and a point-and-shoot camera together, what do I get? Photos of a whole lot of fruits and veggies, that’s what! I’m not the grocery-shopping kind so when my family and I went to the grocery during our vacation in Shanghai, I found myself taking random photos of the fruits and vegetables on display. The photos are not the best but they saved me from being bored to bits.

Famous Buildings Gone Miniature

Aiins World is a theme park where miniature recreations of world famous buildings are on display. The miniatures at Aiins World were crafted with such painstaking attention to detail that visitors feel like they are looking at the real thing. We only spent around an hour and a half inside the park and it definitely wasn’t enough to soak up all the amazing views and facts about these works of architecture.
