Wow... some great views there. Asia's always been a place that's fascinated me, so it's interesting to hear you say it didn't feel like you were there. I'm afraid I can't help with the Food Vendor Mystery :) Have fun! -c
Thailand- mai ow! (with a wry grin) Cambodia- mun (j)yo! (with a soft smile) India- naHEE! (with a look in your eye that says I want to stab you in the ear)
thanks! we still know who the real photographer amongst us is, though :) i actually have a bunch of photos for the next post from a buddhist temple in cambodia that made me think of you. i had some monks pose and the just kinda stood there expressionless. heh, guess you have better monk-charming skills than me as well ;)
I wanted to edit my above comment to read, "I'd just as soon stab you in the ear" instead of the instigative intent implied in the original. Gotta play it cool...;) but I'm too lazy to go to your journal and do that.
I am excited to see your photos. There's really no justification for comparison- I am all day seeking, pursuing, and displaying intentionally commercial stuff so I can (forever) avoid the dread table-waiting. The shots that accompany the interesting stories are hardly ever so good on their own.
As for the monks- I think being a bald girl helps my rapport with them, and I usually ask in their language, or get a photo after we've had a good conversation in English, which most of them seem to be studying.
That said, I do enjoy a good compliment. Thank you:)
