A few more good things from the trip


Uploading photographs from our trip, I came across a few which didn't quite fit in earlier posts but which I think are interesting in some way, for example, these shampoo and shower gel bottles in an hotel.

What about the "odd" tile in the Cao Dai temple? To illustrate that only God is perfect, perhaps.


Is buying rice a simple purchase? A market stall in Saigon, Vietnam.


I loved the way the yellow building brought this Saigon view to life.


On the Mekong, in Laos, the flowering teak trees of the forest are doing fine above the high water mark from last weekend's flood.



A store selling handmade paper and books in Luang Prabang, Laos.


The outside of the same store

In case of boredom, a basket of wooden puzzles from the bar, Chiang Mai, Thailand.
