Hong Kong Wanderings
A quick introduction; I’ve finally whittled down my notes to what you read below, which consists of our quick adventures in Hong Kong, and reads best after continuing from the previous article from Macau. It is however as unfortunately long … Continue reading

Macau in Three Short Days
We landed in Macau late enough to see the lights of a few casinos from the window, yet leave us with absolutely no idea of the general topography. Looking through the airport for a free tourist fold-out map I stumbled … Continue reading
Kuala Lumpur and our Taxi Rides of Death
The flight from Coolangatta to Kuala Lumpur was one of the smoothest I’ve flown in a long time, and it was interesting to cross a broad swath of Australia instead of my usual path straight over the Pacific. The wall … Continue reading

Picasa gets mapped photography
Not to be outdone by competing photo hosts, Google has added their own brand of photo mapping using their current satellite and map data. I quite like it, even though there’s going to be some legwork to get the kinks … Continue reading
Tasmanian Holiday (Part I)
