The day the earth stood still, Bangkok, Thailand

This was the weather on the day we were flying out of Bangkok for Kuala Lumpur.  The low, black clouds were literally creeping over the city.

Angkor Wat, Siem Reap, Cambodia

It is a surreal experience walking inside these massive (not an exaggeration) Hindu temples.  For someone who aced his high school ancient history class, I was still left speechless at the sight of these structures.  Of course, we didn't really deal with Cambodian history in depth, but if that was what I felt with the temples of Angkor, imagine what would happen if I had the chance to visit the Mayan temples in the Yucatan or Machu Pichu of the Incas.

Surf Kids, San Fernando, La Union, Philippines

We were told that to keep these kids from doing drugs, they could use surfboards for free.

Bangui Windmills, Bangui, Ilocos Norte, Philippines

This is the second time I've been here and it's still a wonderful sight.  Taken using a 'generic' wind-up and expired film.

This is the very first wind farm in the Philippines (probably in Asia) built by the NorthWind Power Development Corporation.  Winds coming in from the South China Sea generates a considerable amount of power for half of the Ilocos region.  It has gained popularity with locals, visitors and foreigners alike due to its accessibility to the public.  These are some of the biggest windmills in existence and can be seen even from the National Road on the way to the famous Pagudpud beaches.
