<br><br>This Christmas Kim and I decided to take Aiden on his first overseas holiday. Our offices are closed over Christmas and New Years so it is a good time for us to travel. 

<br><br>We decided to go to New Calidonia in the Pacific Ocean as it was easy and reasonably priced. It is a small group of islands about 2000km from Sydney (2.5 hours flight) and is part of Frances overseas territories (this may change in the next couple of years when they vote for independence). 
<br><br>On the first night we went to a seafood place and had a good night out the three of us. <br>
<br><br><a href="/CustomForms/slideshow.aspx?RootFolder=2010&amp;Subfolder=new_calidonia_2010"><img src="/FILES%2f2010%2fnew_calidonia_2010%2f5807.jpg.axdx" title="Click here for more photos" alt="Click here for more photos" height="480" width="640"></a>
<br><br>Especially Aiden enjoyed his new surroundings.
<br><br><a href="/CustomForms/slideshow.aspx?RootFolder=2010&amp;Subfolder=new_calidonia_2010"><img src="/FILES%2f2010%2fnew_calidonia_2010%2f5808.jpg.axdx" title="Click here for more photos" alt="Click here for more photos" height="480" width="640"></a>

<br><br>We stayed at Anse Vata beach in Noumea which was conveniently located in the tourist area (Although it was far from overrun with tourists).

<br><br><a href="/CustomForms/slideshow.aspx?RootFolder=2010&amp;Subfolder=new_calidonia_2010"><img src="/FILES%2f2010%2fnew_calidonia_2010%2f5778.jpg.axdx" title="Click here for more photos" alt="Click here for more photos" height="426" width="640"></a>

<br><br><a href="/CustomForms/slideshow.aspx?RootFolder=2010&amp;Subfolder=new_calidonia_2010"><img src="/FILES%2f2010%2fnew_calidonia_2010%2f5776.jpg.axdx" title="Click here to see more photos" alt="Click here to see more photos" height="426" width="640"></a>

<br><br>It was really hot there, 34-38 degrees every day so it was nice to stay near the coast. The locals living inland would spend the nights on the beach in the water cooling down.

<br><br><a href="/CustomForms/slideshow.aspx?RootFolder=2010&amp;Subfolder=new_calidonia_2010"><img src="/FILES%2f2010%2fnew_calidonia_2010%2f5775.jpg.axdx" title="Click here for more photos" alt="Click here for more photos" height="426" width="640"></a>

<br><br><a href="/CustomForms/slideshow.aspx?RootFolder=2010&amp;Subfolder=new_calidonia_2010"><img src="/FILES%2f2010%2fnew_calidonia_2010%2f5777.jpg.axdx" title="Click here for more photos" alt="Click here for more photos" height="426" width="640"> </a>

<br><br><a href="/CustomForms/slideshow.aspx?RootFolder=2010&amp;Subfolder=new_calidonia_2010"><img src="/FILES%2f2010%2fnew_calidonia_2010%2f5784.jpg.axdx" title="Click here for more photos" alt="Click here for more photos" height="640" width="426"></a>

<br><br>In the evening we would try out the local restaurants. Food was generally quite expensive and of very inconsistent quality. The far best we had was a place called 'Le Roof' which is a restaurant placed in the water. I had the best rib eye I've had this year and as a desert we had the best chocolate fondant we've ever had...very nice.

<br><br><a href="/CustomForms/slideshow.aspx?RootFolder=2010&amp;Subfolder=new_calidonia_2010"><img src="/FILES%2f2010%2fnew_calidonia_2010%2f5779.jpg.axdx" title="Click here for more photos" alt="Click here for more photos" height="426" width="640"></a>

<br><br>While there we rented a car so that we could explore the island better while bringing Aiden with us (the island is 400km long).It was beautiful with all the flame trees...brough back a lot of memories from when I lived in Kenya.

<br><br><a href="/CustomForms/slideshow.aspx?RootFolder=2010&amp;Subfolder=new_calidonia_2010"><img src="/FILES%2f2010%2fnew_calidonia_2010%2f5781.jpg.axdx" title="Click here for more photos" alt="Click here for more photos" height="640" width="391"></a>

<br><br><br>

<br><br>Aiden coped surprisingly well with the heat, the sun and the water. It has actually helped a lot on his ezema which is almost gone on his legs now. He didn't complain at all and in the car he would just fall asleep once the aircon was turned on and we started driving.

<br><br><a href="/CustomForms/slideshow.aspx?RootFolder=2010&amp;Subfolder=new_calidonia_2010"><img src="/FILES%2f2010%2fnew_calidonia_2010%2f5780.jpg.axdx" title="Click here for more photos" alt="Click here for more photos" height="640" width="426"></a>

<br><br>One day we went out to one of the islands on a day trip and spend the day there in the shade at one of the restaurants and on the beach with Aiden (Only day where I wasn't feeling 100% as I'd picked up a 24h bug from the family before we left and had a bit of fever).<br>

<br><br><a href="/CustomForms/slideshow.aspx?RootFolder=2010&amp;Subfolder=new_calidonia_2010"><img src="/FILES%2f2010%2fnew_calidonia_2010%2f5782.jpg.axdx" title="Click here for more photos" alt="Click here for more photos" height="640" width="426"></a>

<br><br>It was nice going on a trip as a family with a little one. It was a bit harder to get about to take photos and especially to be really creative, but I did get a couple of chances and we did do a photoshoot on the beach one evening with some of the flash gear I'd brought.<br>

<br><br><a href="/CustomForms/slideshow.aspx?RootFolder=2010&amp;Subfolder=new_calidonia_2010"><img src="/FILES%2f2010%2fnew_calidonia_2010%2f5783.jpg.axdx" title="Click here for more photos" alt="Click here for more photos" height="640" width="426"></a>

Kim told her that this year I could do some for her instead of paying for it...I needed the practice (which is true).<br><br>When they arrived at around 4pm Aiden was still asleep so we decided to do some photos in the studio first. I was soooo.. relieved because the sun was out and it would have been really difficult to do outdoor shots in the harsh sunlight.<br><br><img src="/FILES%2f2010%2fblog_photos_2010%2f5770.jpg.axdx"><br><br><img src="/FILES%2f2010%2fblog_photos_2010%2f5768.jpg.axdx"><br><br>Karens daughters are quite photogenic so it was easy to get some great photos. I rekon the oldest could get modelling jobs if she wanted. <br><br><br>By the time Aiden woke up and we had finished the inside shoot it was 6pm and we drove down to La Perouse. It was really windy and the sun was still strong. After moving around a bit we eventually settled for the beach where it was slightly less windy and had better light.<br><br><img src="/FILES%2f2010%2fblog_photos_2010%2f5771.jpg.axdx"><br><br><img src="/FILES%2f2010%2fblog_photos_2010%2f5769.jpg.axdx"><br><br><img src="/FILES%2f2010%2fblog_photos_2010%2f5772.jpg.axdx"><br><br>I took more than 400 photos on this day and most of them are pretty good. It was pretty exhausting...especially the youngest daughter was really tired by the end of the day.<br><br><br>The photos above are just a couple of the ones I took. I haven't had time to process the others yet so I may make a second blog post later. I took some photos of Karen as well as some where the family is together, but I think Karen would like me to do a bit of work on them first.<br><br><br>I also found that it would have been really hard if I hadn't had Kim there to keep a look out for how the hair was looking, positioning and constant feedback on the photos. She is actually a pretty good assistant even though she doesn't know much about the photography side.<br><br><br>I also realised that I need more practice with taking photos outide in constantly changing conditions, so if anyone if willing to be a 'Model-for-the-day' then let myself or Kim know...it is a win-win, you get some (hopefully great) photos and I get some practice! <br><div id="AdnBottom"><div class="AdnBottomLeft" style="float:left"><div style="float:left; padding-right:10px" class="AddThisButton"><div><div style="float:left"><div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style" addthis:title="Karen&amp;#39;s family photos" addthis:url="http://perfectmoments.photography/post/Karens-family-photos" addthis:description="karen s family photos"><a class="addthis_button_compact"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_1"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_2"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_3"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_4"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_5"></a></div><script type="text/javascript" src="http://s7.addthis.com/js/250/addthis_widget.js#username=xa-4cb7e4d77c1aa8bd"></script></div></div></div></div><div class="AdnBottomRight" style="float:right"></div><div style="clear:both"></div></div>

Most of the insects are too fast to photograph, but yesterday I did spot a couple of caterpillars that were slow enough for me to pull out my macro lens and a flash.<br><br><img src="/FILES%2f2010%2fblog_photos_2010%2f5763.jpg.axdx"><br><br><img src="/FILES%2f2010%2fblog_photos_2010%2f5762.jpg.axdx"><br><br><img src="/FILES%2f2010%2fblog_photos_2010%2f5764.jpg.axdx"><br><br>They are actually really hard taking photos of.

He would be crying/screaming when we were holding him and initially I thought he was hot (it was a warm day). I took him to the shower to see if that would calm him down...it did a little bit.<br><br>Afterwards we had him on the bed and we noticed that he wasn't moving his left arm and leaving it limb down his side and when we touched it he started screaming...so off we went to the hospital.<br><br>We were lucky that they could take us almost right away to have a doctor examine him. He made the same observation that there was something wrong with his arm and ordered some X-Rays. The X-rays didn't show any fractures or anything (pheeeww...) so they gave him some pain killers. Aiden was so brave having his Xrays taken and being at the doctors. Once the pain killers kicked in he started moving his arm a little.<br><br><img src="/FILES%2f2010%2fbaby_2010%2f5761.jpg.axdx" height="425" width="319"><br><br>We were waiting for quite a while for the doctor to come back and when he did Aiden had started moving his arm more. The doctor re-examined the arm and twisted the elbox and bit and said "oh...I felt it pop". Aiden started screaming again, but the doctor said that the arm now should be ok and that he would come back in 10-15 minuted to check. <br><br>Surely enough Aiden was a very happy boy when he came back and we think his arm now if back to normal...he had just pulled his elbow.<br><br>Apparently it is quite normal for kids. The doctor said that he gets about two cases like that every day. <br><br>Thank you Doctor! <br><div id="AdnBottom"><div class="AdnBottomLeft" style="float:left"><div style="float:left; padding-right:10px" class="AddThisButton"><div><div style="float:left"><div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style" addthis:title="Aiden&amp;#39;s first visit to the hospital" addthis:url="http://perfectmoments.photography/post/Aidens-first-visit-to-the-hospital" addthis:description="aiden s first visit to the hospital"><a class="addthis_button_compact"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_1"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_2"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_3"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_4"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_5"></a></div><script type="text/javascript" src="http://s7.addthis.com/js/250/addthis_widget.js#username=xa-4cb7e4d77c1aa8bd"></script></div></div></div></div><div class="AdnBottomRight" style="float:right"></div><div style="clear:both"></div></div>

<br><br>This weekend Kim and I went to see the musical Fame at Capitol theatre with a couple of friends Audrey and John.
<p class="MsoNormal"><img src="/FILES%2f2010%2fblog_photos_2010%2f5742.jpg.axdx" height="315" width="450">

<br><br>Most of the cast was made up of dancers from “So you think you can dance” so there was a potential for a really good performance with some excellent dancing. <br>

<br><br>Our friends had organised a babysitter for the night and Aiden was being looked after by Kim’s dad and sister.

<br><br>The performance was good (but not great). I think we were expecting more singing and dancing (It was a musical) and less dialogue. The second half of the play was a lot better than the first half with more dancing.
</p><p class="MsoNormal"><img src="/FILES%2f2010%2fblog_photos_2010%2f5741.jpg.axdx" height="315" width="450">
<br><br>Unfortunately our friends missed this part as she was worried about their kid left alone with the babysitter (that is kinda the point of getting a babysitter) and left during the intermission. <br>

<br><br>At the end they got everyone in the audience up from their chairs for the famous "Fame" song. <br>
<br><br>Kim and I however had a good night out…and she looked smashing!

<br><br>We did get the deal in Tokyo, so the trip was worthwhile, and we are now installing our solution across all of Asia.

<br><br>I didn't do much while I was there, because it was mainly a social visit to help my mum and dad.

<br><br>Some of us flew over there a few days early to go skiing in Wanatchee east of Seattle. If was a weekend of perfect skiing. It was my first time skiing so I took some lessons after which I was doing fine (blue slopes).

<br><br>During the week we had lots of meetings and dinners. There were award nights as well as just social nights where we could meet up with the rest of the company.

<br><br>The following all of us in International went down to Crystal Mountain at Mount Raineer to do some more skiing. It was a lot of fun and we all had a great time.

It was driving me mad with back focusing...not what you would expect from a $3000 camera. Hopefully they will be able to fix the issue, but unfortunately they are saying that there is a 21 day turnaround. The focus was 5cm off which is critical especially then taking portraits.<br><br><br>I did however manage to take a couple of photos that were ok and a bit of video with it on Sunday inside a very dark ten-pin bowling place (it was Kayla's birthday party) with all kinds of weird lighting. I was shooting at insanely high iso (12800) and I must say that I general I was pretty impressed. <br><br><img src="/FILES%2f2012%2fblog_photos_2012%2f7094.jpg.axdx" height="467" width="700"><br><br>Especially impressed with how fast I could shoot with lots of kids running around. They are totally usable for my blog and online posting although I wouldn't enlarge them. There was a lot of noise at these high ISO's, but most of it could be managed to a certain degree in Lightroom.<br><br><br><img src="/FILES%2f2012%2fblog_photos_2012%2f7095.jpg.axdx"><br><br><img src="/FILES%2f2012%2fblog_photos_2012%2f7096.jpg.axdx"><br><br>Later I was shooting with KC's camera at the lunch table...there was more light and I was strugling with taking photos using natural light. <br><div id="AdnBottom"><div class="AdnBottomLeft" style="float:left"><div style="float:left; padding-right:10px" class="AddThisButton"><div><div style="float:left"><div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style" addthis:title="Camera returned for warranty" addthis:url="http://perfectmoments.photography/post/Camera-returned-for-warranty" addthis:description="camera returned for warranty"><a class="addthis_button_compact"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_1"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_2"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_3"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_4"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_5"></a></div><script type="text/javascript" src="http://s7.addthis.com/js/250/addthis_widget.js#username=xa-4cb7e4d77c1aa8bd"></script></div></div></div></div><div class="AdnBottomRight" style="float:right"></div><div style="clear:both"></div></div>

<br><br>It is Autumn here in Sydney and today the forecast was for 19 degrees and sunny...the first cool'ish day here. In the morning we went with Kims family to the cemetry to visit Kims mum. After this we were planning to head up to the Blue Mountains to Mt Wilson to visit some of the private gardens to take photos of the Autumn colours and get some new family photos of Kim, Aiden and I. <br>

<br><br>When we arrived it was really windy and only 7 degrees (later it dropped to 5 degrees). We had dressed for the cold, but Dylan who had joined us on the spur of the moment was a bit underdressed and cold so he borrowed a spare jumper I had with me. We immediately found a pile of leaves and they started having fun throwing them up in the air.

<br><br>We decided to visit the Yengo Sculpture garden and the owner came to greet us, tell us about the garden and charge for the entry.

<br><br>The garden was very nice and the colours were awesome.

<br><br>There were lots of sculptures hidden around the garden.

<br><br>Dylan got a bit upset because we had to scold him for running around (this was a private garden so deserved a bit of respect), throwing pebbles, thrashing my camera gear and keeping to run into the frame of the photo I was trying to take. I had also been trying to get a bit interested in what he is seeing around him to learn more things and asking him if he was interested in some of the lookouts to experience one of the most beautiful places in Australia, as well as look at the things in antique shops etc., but he was totally dis-interested..."you can drag the horse to the water, but you can force it to drink". 

<br><br><a href="/CustomForms/slideshow.aspx?RootFolder=2012&amp;Subfolder=mt_wilson_autumn_colours_2012"><img src="/FILES%2f2012%2fmt_wilson_autumn_colours_2012%2f7073.jpg.axdx" title="Click here for more photos" alt="Click here for more photos" height="700" width="465"></a>

<br><br>After the garden Aiden was really tired and cold and we were getting hungry, so we decided to head back and stop along the way for lunch. It was good timing as it started to rain a little. I decided to drive on the great western highway as there were more options for food and I though it would be quicker getting back...turned out everyone else had the same idea so it was at a crawl.<br>

<br><br>They don't have a lot of animals in the park, but the ones they have a pretty cool and it is a good spot to get some nice animal photos (It was especially nice to see that they had polished the glass surrounding some animals).
<br><br>It was also really cool to have Aiden and Sammi feed some of the more friendly animals.

She is from Serbia so the wedding itself was a beautiful traditional Serbian Orthodox wedding in a small church in Alexandria.<br>

<br><br>The church was very darkly lit and I was shooting using natural light trying to be as discreet as possible using my old Nikon D50 camera (still waiting for the new D800) but by some miracle I was able to capture the above photos (by setting it to my max 1600 ISO and underexpose 2 stops and then push and noise reduce in post...would have loved to have one more stop). <br>
<br><br>Luke has some Scotish ancestry so ourside the church there was a guy playing the bag pipe.

Lots of very loud Serbian music and traditional Serbian line dancing (Not sure what the correct name is). <br>

<br><br>Our first sightseeing trip after arriving in Egypt 
            was the Citadel and the Mohammed Ali Mosque. The Citadel was once 
            the home of the royal family until 1870, then the military took over 
            this joint until the 1970s. It is still used occasionally by the military 
            but mostly opened to visitors although certain sections are closed 
            off to them.
<br><br>Neither did our guide tell us much about the Citadel, 
            nor give us the opportunity to explore. So most of the photos here 
            are of the Mohammed Ali Mosque sitting on the Citadel.

<br><br>We did not have a lot of opportunities to explore 
            the city of Cairo. Our hotel was located on the other side of the 
            Nile from downtown Cairo, so there was not a lot happening.

<br><br>In Cairo, we noticed a lot of large carcasses hanging 
            along the streets outside the butcher shops. Most of the shops and 
            restaurants were closed due to Ramadan, but Sunday heralded the last 
            day of Ramadan, so many were preparing for the final feast.

<br><br>We tried in vain to find a restaurant for the family

            was still Ramadan till that night, so we settled for some softdrink 
            and hot potato chips.

 of local dishes (Phillipines is not famous for its food). Especially 
some of the seafood was really nice.<br></div><div><br></div><div><img src="http://perfectmoments.photography/FILES%2f2019%2f10%2fIMG_4085.jpg.axdx"></div><div><br></div><div><div><img src="http://perfectmoments.photography/FILES%2f2019%2f10%2fIMG_7556.jpg.axdx"></div></div></div><div><br></div><div><div>The way we got around the island was on these small tricycles. 
There are two types, the old ones pulled by a small moterbike and then 
the new ones which are all electric. The government wants to have all 
the old ones off the roads by 2024 which is very sensible both 
environmentally and economically as even the locals say that they make 
more money on the new ones.<br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><img src="http://perfectmoments.photography/FILES%2f2019%2f10%2f_DSC9184.jpg.axdx"></div><div><br></div><div><div><img src="http://perfectmoments.photography/FILES%2f2019%2f10%2fIMG_4146.jpg.axdx"></div></div><div><br></div><div><div><img src="http://perfectmoments.photography/FILES%2f2019%2f10%2fIMG_7456.jpg.axdx"></div></div><div><br></div></div><div><br></div><div>The main road however is horrendous. In late 2018 the island was closed for 6 months to any visitors due to them sorting out a lot of issues with the sewage system. This means that they have dug up the entire road to install large pipes along with a road widening. A lot of this was still ongoing with the main road being full of holes, but given that it is such a small place it was alright to still get around.</div><div><br></div><div><div><img src="http://perfectmoments.photography/FILES%2f2019%2f10%2fIMG_4533.jpg.axdx"></div></div><div><br></div><div><img src="/FILES%2f2019%2f10%2f_DSC9175.jpg.axdx"></div><div><br></div><br><div id="AdnBottom"><div class="AdnBottomLeft" style="float:left"><div style="float:left; padding-right:10px" class="AddThisButton"><div><div style="float:left"><div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style" addthis:title="Boracay Phillipines" addthis:url="http://perfectmoments.photography/post/boracay-phillipines" addthis:description="With Kim having a few weeks gap between jobs and badly needing a break she wanted to go somewhere re"><a class="addthis_button_compact"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_1"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_2"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_3"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_4"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_5"></a></div><script type="text/javascript" src="http://s7.addthis.com/js/250/addthis_widget.js#username=xa-4cb7e4d77c1aa8bd"></script></div></div></div></div><div class="AdnBottomRight" style="float:right"></div><div style="clear:both"></div></div>

I had not made any definite plans wanted to play it by ear... but in the end my trip consisted of Thailand, Cambodia and restricted areas to Burma.
	</font><br><br><font size="4">I was away for a total of 5 weeks and must admit that parts of my trip really frustrated me - there were many restrictions in Burma and being in Bangkok at times stressed me because of all the tourists and crowds. I really only went to Cambodia to see the magnificent Angkor Wat - actually I really did enjoy being there. I think my most enjoyable part of the trip was the days I had climbing on the secluded areas of Krabi.

<br><br><font size="4">The photo above in the middle, shows monkeys that look like they are playing around. They are actually fighting monkeys and can be very dangerous because they bite and also snatch things from you.

<br><br><font size="4">They were rather oblivious to me being there, until the flash on my camera went off. Then their attention was on me and they were ready to attack.
	</font>
<br><br><font size="4">I adopted the “monkey mentality” - avoid eye contact and move away backwards - the only way to stop the monkeys from attacking is to not look at them.

	</font><br><br><font size="4">When I was there, it was a cloudy day.
	</font><br><br><font size="4"><img src="/FILES%2f2000%2fsouth_east_asia%2f5078.jpg.axdx" alt="Woman selling petrified wood at Mt Popa" height="283" width="221"><br><br>I ran into a woman selling petrified wood - quite silly really, considering the place was covered with it.

	</font><br><br><font size="4">As you can see, there are stacks of them around.
	</font><br><br><font size="4">And no... this is not a tombstone.
	<br>This is actually a road sign.

	<br><br><img src="/FILES%2f2000%2fsouth_east_asia%2f5080.jpg.axdx" alt="Toilet in Burma" height="242" width="245"><br><br>Actually what I found interesting were the toilets in Burma.
	</font><br><br><font size="4">My girlfriend tells me that squatting over a toilet is quite common in Asia.
	</font><br><br><font size="4">In many of the city areas, they would have toilets as we know them, and they would also have a carved hole in the ground, on which either side, one places their feet on.
	</font><br><br><font size="4">Toilets in the rural area are more crude than that - a hole leading into a gaping pit.
	</font><br><br><font size="4">However, what I found interesting about these toilets were that recycled running water was used to wash away any excrement. The water is first used for washing one self and then used in the toilets.
	</font><br><br><font size="4">As there were a few toilet cubicles a row, sometimes you would see the excrement from a toilet uphill go beneath you! *laugh*
	</font><br><br><font size="4">Very clever and environmental system, I think!

	</font><br><br><font size="4">Like Schweddagon, most of this is real gold as well.
	</font><br><br><font size="4">And yes, there is a monkey sitting near my head.
	</font><br><br><font size="4">If you click to the next page, you will see that I have taken a series of photos of the monkeys.

<br><br><font size="4">This sort of housing is quite common in many parts of Asia, especially areas where monsoons quite frequently flood an area.
	</font>
<br><br><font size="4">It is also very environmentally-sound, I think, and hurts the land less.

<br><br><br><font size="4">When I initially arrived in Yangon / Rangoon, I wanted to fly up Bhamo - one of the bigger towns north of Burma. I also considered exploring Myitkyinã - a town further north of Bhamo.
	</font>

<br><br><font size="4">My Lonely Planet guide indicated that the only border crossing into China was to the east of Bhamo. My initial plans to Burma also included exploration of western China. However, I was disappointed by the military turning me back, despite the fact that my Lonely Planet guide said I could cross into China at Ruili.
	</font>

<br><br><font size="4">I decided instead to fly to Mandalay, not only because it was cheap to do so, but it saved me a 20-hour bus ride there from Yangon.
	<br><br></font>
<center><font size="4"><img src="/FILES%2f2000%2fsouth_east_asia%2f5046.jpg.axdx" alt="City of Mandalay" height="104" width="665"></font></center><font size="4"></font>
<br><br><font size="4">I heard about a song for sailors.
	</font>

<blockquote><font size="4">“To be a real sailor, the sailor would have to have been to Mandalay way upriver”</font></blockquote>
<font size="4"></font>
<br><br><font size="4">I quite liked Mandalay.
	</font>

<br><br><font size="4"><br>The photo below, is of Mandalay Hill.
	<br>During World War II (20 March 1945), the British and the Japanese fought one another to gain control of the position on this hill.
	<br><br><img src="/FILES%2f2000%2fsouth_east_asia%2f5049.jpg.axdx" alt="Important Position in Mandalay" height="171" width="395"> <img src="/FILES%2f2000%2fsouth_east_asia%2f5048.jpg.axdx" alt="Mandalay Hill facing east" height="180" width="296"></font>

<br><br><font size="4">The photo to the left is taken from the hill itself facing east - as you can see, it has an aerial view of the whole city, and puts any oncoming enemies at a disadvantage. Control of Mandalay was important during the war, as the soldiers were able to set up artillery and attack anyone approaching the fortress.
	</font>

<br><br><font size="4">This hill was of big strategic importance.
	</font>

<br><br><font size="4">The building you see near the shrine is a monument to the British regiment who managed to take control of this hill from the Japanese.
	</font>

<br><br><font size="4">At the eastern part of the delta, a lot of logging takes place. There was a train line built that used to cart all the trees/wood for export to Thailand.
	<br><br><img src="/FILES%2f2000%2fsouth_east_asia%2f5050.jpg.axdx" alt="View of the Fortress" height="178" width="621"><img src="/FILES%2f2000%2fsouth_east_asia%2f5051.jpg.axdx" alt="View of the Fortress" height="233" width="212"></font>

<br><br><font size="4">The moat around the fortress is man-made.
	<br>Although man-made, comes from the local river.
	</font>

<br><br><font size="4">The original fortress was burnt to the ground.
	<br>The whole fortress covered an area of 2.5 x 2.5 km
	</font>

<br><br><font size="4"><img src="/FILES%2f2000%2fsouth_east_asia%2f5052.jpg.axdx" alt="Fortress at Mandalay" height="175" width="261"><br><br></font>
<center><font size="4"><img src="/FILES%2f2000%2fsouth_east_asia%2f5047.jpg.axdx" alt="Fortress at Mandalay" height="184" width="602"></font></center><font size="4"><br><img src="/FILES%2f2000%2fsouth_east_asia%2f4991.jpg.axdx" alt="Clocktower in Mandalay" height="167" width="198"></font>
<br><br><font size="4"><br>The design of Mandalay was quite colonial, and surprisingly, most of the streets were at 90º to one another.
	</font>

<br><br><font size="4">Overall, I found Mandalay the most expensive city to travel to in Burma.
	</font>

<br><br><font size="4">No matter what one does in Mandalay, be it explore Mandalay Hill or the city itself, the locals always had “special” foreigner prices. It really annoyed me.
	</font>

<br><br><font size="4">I tried to use local currency as much as possible. However, FEC (Foreign Exchange Currency) was more valuable and worth more to the locals. FEC is also used in China, and one tries to use local currency as much as possible. Any item you buy has 2 prices - and obviously it is cheaper to use local currency than to use FEC.
	</font>

<br><br><font size="4">I must admit, even Mandalay Hill was not <i>that</i> nice for the price I paid to explore it. It was also expensive just to go into the fortress.
	</font>

<br><br><font size="4">Surprisingly, I could not find maps of the area that was not more that 40 years old.

	<br><br>Whether they sit by the roadside, or whether they own a shop in a building, one will see very similar items being sold around Asia.
	<br><br>The “pellets” you see here are in fact different types of roots such as ginger or some unknown vegetable, that have been sun or air dried.
	<br><br><img src="/FILES%2f2000%2fsouth_east_asia%2f5035.jpg.axdx" alt="The Medicine Man 1" height="55%"><img src="/FILES%2f2000%2fsouth_east_asia%2f5033.jpg.axdx" alt="The Medicine Man 1" height="55%"><img src="/FILES%2f2000%2fsouth_east_asia%2f5036.jpg.axdx" alt="The Medicine Man 1" height="55%"><br><br>You will see the antlers of various animals such as deer or even rhino. There are also skulls from different animals - some of these animals may be endangered species, but somehow you will see them being sold in these markets.
	<br><br><img src="/FILES%2f2000%2fsouth_east_asia%2f5034.jpg.axdx" alt="The Medicine Man 2"><br><br><br>These skulls are definitely not being used as “trophies” around the house!
	<br><br>The Burmese, like many Asians, believe in using very 'natural' remedies to cure common ailments.
	<br><br><img src="/FILES%2f2000%2fsouth_east_asia%2f5042.jpg.axdx" alt="Tiger Skull" width="40%"><br><br><br>A Medicine Man may not necessarily be a “doctor” according to western standards - that means he may not have a university degree.
	<br><br>However, a Medicine Man, may be what we know as “witch-doctors”. Some of the remedies they know are very natural and useful.
	<br><br>Unfortunately, not all of these remedies work. Around Asia, you will see shops or Medicine Man selling items like tigers' paws and skulls, or ground ivory tusks. Many of these are sold as cures or enhancements for the sex life.
	<br><br>In Burma, there is virtually no wildlife left.
	<br><br><br><img src="/FILES%2f2000%2fsouth_east_asia%2f5043.jpg.axdx" alt="Selling Tobacco" width="100%"><br><br><br>You will even find that even tobacco is sold naturally.
	<br><br>Not in cigarette form, but in leaf form! The laws in Burma are not quite the same as they are here. Marijuana is also sold very freely.

	The best tanaka you can get ie good quality, is from the bark of the tanaka plant.
	<br/><br/>The bark is ground up with water, into a white paste and used as a form of sunscreen by the locals.
	<br/><br/>To use tanaka, is a sign of cleanliness. For the females, it is part of their make-up.

	Quite often in Asia, you may see lily pads floating on the water. In fairy-tales, you hear about frogs sitting on a lily pad.
	<br><br>You will be amazed to associate that this fruit here, comes from the flowers/plant growing out of the water near the lily pads.
	<br><br>The yellow seeds come from the flower itself. The seeds are used often in many Asian desserts, and said to promote better blood circulation.
	<br><br>While, the root of the lotus plant is also a delicacy. It is white when cooked, and has a crunchy texture, similar to that of the water chestnut. Mainly used in savoury meals, although used as a dessert as well.
	<br><br>Personally, I think it is too much hassle retrieving the fruit! *smile*

	</font>
<br><br><font size="4">In Burma, use of the Internet and mobile phones is illegal. This is the government's way of controlling the information entering the country. Even access to equipment such as laptops is illegal - the country is so poor that many could not afford such a piece of equipment.
	</font>
<br><br><font size="4">I saw many young women queueing for their rations. They were standing so close together that I thought they were lesbians! *laugh* The girls stand close together so another person cannot jump the queue by pushing in.

<br/><br/><font size="4"><br><font size="4">I think most of the Burmese are extremely religous people. Some say they are Buddhist fanatics.
	</font></font>
<br/><br/><font size="4"><font size="4">Just as for some people here in Australia, Christianity is their way of life. Likewise, the Burmese revolve everything in their lives around Buddhism or Buddhist principles.
	</font></font>
<br/><br/><font size="4"><font size="4">Therefore, many of the Burmese are so oppressed by religion.
	</font></font>
<br/><br/><font size="4"><font size="4">If the people were to suddenly have a change in government, from a military government to a ruling governed by monks, then this change would happen overnight.
	</font></font>
<br/><br/><font size="4"><font size="4">No Burmese can walk pass a statue of the Buddha without saying a prayer.
	</font></font>
<br/><br/><font size="4"><font size="4">I also noticed that there were many rules about the practising of buddhism amongst the Burmese. There were particular ways of placing one's feet or order of which something is done.
	</font></font>
<br/><br/><font size="4"><font size="4">If there was no Buddhism, life in Burma would be very basic.
	</font></font><br/><br/>

<font size="4"><font size="4"></font></font><br/><br/><font size="4"><font size="4">Early every morning, you can hears the bells with the arrival of these monks. It is a signal for the locals to come out with money, food or whatever, to give these monks. Remember, one of the vows monks take, is the vow of poverty - they have to rely on the donations of locals to feed and clothe them, otherwise grow and produce their own products. In Buddhism, it is a Buddhist's duty to also provide for the monks. It helps them to reach Enlightenment.
	</font></font>
<br/><br/><font size="4"><font size="4">I saw these monks in Yangon. They come from various monastries.

<br/><br/><font size="4"><font size="4">The nun you see in the middle, is wearing her habit on her head. The piece of cloth that a nun wraps around herself, is sometimes folded and used as a hat for protection against the heat of the sun.

<br/><br/><font size="4"><font size="4">I took close-up photos of each of them, and later asked them if it hurt their eyes to stare at the sun all day. I was told that it did not! They sit there from sunrise, to sunset, meditating, and only change positions as the sun changes position. Otherwise, they just sit there and meditate. They meditate every single day except when cloudy. Amazing!
