Tahoe Johnson’s Journey to Southeast Asia

After traveling now for a couple of weeks, figuring out the picture situation takes time.  The original picture is saved as 8MB – too big for upload – therefore, need to resize the pictures we would like to put on blog (usually done late at night or during next stop bus road trip).  Then, there are  only 2 sizes to upload to the blog site – for some pictures the small does not do justice, but too big if trying to attach to the blog writing.  Therefore, my new style – blog with some small pictures, then a picture blog only.  Hope you get a better picture – pun  (haha)

Kuala Lumpur – Petronas Towers – incredible architecture and design – trully a wonder, the banner inside the building was 5 stories long for Chinese New Year, old and new architecture/skyline, Sultan’s Front gate – quite formal, waiting at bus stations, when you eat fish they mean it literally whole cooked, Islamic Art Museum – tile work, but incredible display of islamic writings in the Chinese and Arab world, ceramics, weapony, textiles, and architecture of mosques around the world – photo displays and then actual architectural models, timeline of occupation of the lands of Palestine/Israel – pertinent for today’s understanding of history.

Pictures:  actually getting a photo of Josh smiling – wow – how did that happen – Natalie told him she found a store where a guy specializes in graphiti and there may be a wall he can tag – as you can see Natasha is really happy about that, Natalie and Annika went to the largest free flight bird aviary in the world – had fun feeding birds, went to a cultural center and each did a batik piece – everyone enjoyed that.
