Stick it to me baby...

An Indian devotee prepares to have his tongue ritually pierced during last year's Thaipusam festival, held on the streets of Singapore:



The white stuff on the hands and face is ash, which is supposed to cleanse the resulting wound.

"A Last Look" Reloaded

"Nayong Pilipino: A Last Look" is the name of the first ever photography exhibit that I did, way back in 2001:



It was supposed to be a last look at Nayong Pilipino before it was gonna be torn down to make way for the NAIA terminal 3. It was to be moved to Quezon City, they said. Eight years later what's left of it still stands on its old location near the airport - now there's the new terminal beside it.

I think you can still take as many "last looks" as you want :)

A Last Look

SOUTH OF EAST ends on Monday, 9 February 2009. If you still haven't gone down to see it, please drop by the Royal Plaza on Scotts Hotel (Scotts Road, very near the DFS Singapore mall). That's six years worth of traveling up and down South and Southeast Asia :)

Stack This

How many plates can you stack on one arm?



The waiter of this Padang restaurant in Trowulan can carry twelve. That's nothing special for any masakan padang restaurant in Indonesia, where a full meal can easily take up to 24 plates on one table.
