Something from KL

I went to a butterfly park while I was in Kuala Lumpur. It was on one of the days we had off where we got a good chance to explore various things around the city. A great big enclosure with heaps of butterflies flying around. It was quite dangerous actually - for the butterflies, that is. They would land on the path (to rest or something) where the people were walking. I think you can think of some of the consequences for the butterflies.

As we exited from the park, it turned into more of an insect exhibition and it was here that I came across this bug/beetle that I just had to get a photo of.

What can you see?



How about upside down?

Strange Things

So I was down south in a place called Puerto Galera during our mid-term holiday with Lara and a few friends. The particular area we stayed in was called Small La Laguna.

Walking down a little alley one day, lined with shops filled with Filipino and other foreign items, we turn into a store with international items.

Then I see something that reminds me of home .....
Yes, that's right, not one, not two, not even three, but four Australian beers! And not only that, Mersey Valley cheese as well, among other things. Cheeses aren't very common here. In fact, it's almost impossible to find good quality cheese anywhere.

Anyway, I was suitably impressed and thought I'd share it with you.
