I amble about the glitzy streets of KL, still a bet overwhelmed by all I've seen and experienced in the last few weeks... It's been great to ...

Last day of this journey.  Managed to sqeeze in one more street gig in one more city--one with more than a little historical charm.  &n...

It really does seem that Singapore has taken all the good qualities from a dozen different cultures, mixed them together and created a sort of utop...

I'd figured out how to read "city center" in Malay, but still not having much luck FINDING it!  But then again, it's more fun wandering around...

Arriving in Kuantan before dawn and managed to explore a little bit before it starting pouring...

Unlike Morocco, where generally everyone tries to break their Ramadan fast at home, Malaysians seem to enjoy doing it at restaurants.  I manag...

Basically just a big, duty-free market area.  Went ahead and did my shopping--and sat down to strum a little while...

Wandered around Sungai Kolok for a bit until I came to this narrow river.  On the other side, men were piling mountains of boxes onto small bo...

A magnificent view from this temple in the hills above Phatthalung.  Later on, wandering about a couple of guys in hardware store insisted tha...

 A rather uneventful street gig--a video clip with some cool cliffs in the background... I must be getting soft... A couple of years ago I wou...

I love how in a public plaza, some guy with big sound system start doing aerobics and folks from all over the vicinity rush to join in... Thou...

Wanting to cram as many cities as I can into my last few days, I got off the train at the next stop... and there it was--the biggest pagoda in Thai...

The bus dropped me off on Kao San Road--but I refused to look for a place to stay there.  Nothing against fellow travelers--it enjoy swapping ...

Much better interaction with the locals here than in Phnom Penh--still a lot of tourists, just not the same type.  Jammed a good while with a ...

Pouring down rain--didn't do a video clip until after dark.  I'll upload  a  picture of the market instead.  Too many&nbsp...

I got off the bus and within minutes I was exploring the alleyways that you can barely sqeeze through.  Yep, I'm gonna love this town.  D...

Apparently everyone in Nha Trang--young and old--goes down to the beach at 5:30 in the morning to walk, jog or swim... a beautiful sight... Also ex...

Hoi'an is certainly a unique little place--but a little too touristy for me, so me and my guitar headed on a random path accross the countryside.&n...

Not really a beach person--but I do try to go for a swim at least once every trip.  So after playing a gig for some construction workers on th...

After exploring the ancient citidel, I had the experience described on my profile page--I won't repeat it here...

I really should've done a video clip down in a winding alleyway or on a busy street with a million scooters buzzing past me... instead I took my cl...

I don't usually count bus meal stops as "places visited"--but Tam Diep with its steep, jungle-covered cliffs was just too cool to pass up...

For me, visiting Vietnam carries tremendous significance.  Although my generation of Americans generally prefers to pretend that the Vietnam w...

Yeah, I had to go for the one dollar one-speed girlie bike rather than shell out three bucks for a mountain bike... Went to explore a cave and then...

After Bangkok, Vientiene had a serene almost otherworldly aura... and I finally was able to do a full-length, park bench concert with a small, but ...

I've got this thing about needing to walk across bridges--in Surat Thani it turned out to be the best thing I did... After wandering along a semi-c...

I quickly found out that most of Thailand is NOT like what I saw near the border!  Hat Yai is a fascinating city--I explored 6 marketplac...

No, I'm not going to complain about the rain... I've spent way too much of my life in dusty, dry countries!  It did stop long enough for me to...

Bus ticket hustlers carrying two-way radios--how clever!  Arrived at the bus station in Ipoh and headed to where I thought the "center of town...

Arrived at the Butterworth station--pouring down rain---so I followed this covered walkway to a...ferry!  Figured it should take me someplace ...

I landed in KL mid-morning and hit the ground running.  Got myself a matchbox-size room in Chinatown (yes, I had to ask for the cheapest room ...
