Pattaya, Ayutthaya & Guangzhou
End of April to mid May, 2011
The enlightened one, or also known as Buddha somehow got his head stuck in a tree in Ayutthaya...
The Asiatic Elephant eats around 200 kilograms of food per day.
Relocation from sunny Thailand to...
...rainy China.
Tanya stalked by a Meerkat.
The Japanese have had a triumphs history. The land of the rising sun has fought many battle & wars trying to
expand their supremacy over eastern Asia and possibly the entire world. After they cooled down the mentality of
expansion, they still managed to surprise the rest of the world with their technological developments and strong
economy. The Japanese decided to put to rest any competitive race with other nations. But there is one exception
that the Japanese don't let anyone else mess around with. The race of holding the highest tower in the world! In
1889 when the Eiffel Tower in Paris erected, the Japanese topped the 1,063 feet tower with their Tokyo Tower,
only 28 feet taller. A half a century later, China started build the Canton Tower (pictured above) for their 2010
Asian Games in Guangzhou. It was named the tallest tower completed in the world for only a year or so before the
Japanese who were now once again not comfortable with having a small sized tower on their Honshu, lead to the
erecting Tokyo Sky Tree... again only around 334 cenimeters taller... another cliché... touché Nippon.

Karate literary means 'empty hand', but when the ideograms get interpreted another way, it means 'China hand'...
Sin Rattanamanoch likes Steven Spielberg.
I wonder if the older generation in China or elsewhere in Asia know, that they are just waisting their time with all
that exercising at sun break or the late night Tango dances like pictures above. They should know that when you
become old, you go to a retirement home in south Florida and watch Jerry Springer reruns till you fall asleep...

On the road traversing China with two Swiss and seven Thais... and five appear to be Zombies.
While I was getting denied a Russian visa in Hong Kong, I bumped into Flo Marfaing who just like myself had
troubles obtaining visas. Leaving him stuck in Hong Kong for a couple weeks, probably resulted to some insane
manual or ledge combos on Cantonese curbs. Just like when he was one of the first European to come to Hong
Kong and Shenzhen with Alex Carolina filming for their mesmerizing 411 part.

Beijing Train station... 24 hours train ride up north. Peking ducks are waiting.
Since the Russia Federation rejected a visa proposal (plus bribe) for a Far East trip to Khabarovsk and Vladivostok
that I planned with Eric for a China Converse documentary, we retouched on the idea and concluded on a Mongolia
trip featuring the Gobi Desert. While going to apply for a Mongolian visa, I couldn't help noticing the extra security
around the American embassy next door. Sure enough a week and a half later a friend tells me about a story that
one of her friends witnessed a mass suicide attempt in front of the American embassy on June 4th, the twenty
second year anniversary of Tiananmen Square Massacre. If I am not too far off, then this incident might connect
with the pregnant fruit merchant that got beaten to death which outraged the public of injustice. The Chinese
government is faced with revolts and riots all around the country that are quickly hushed & shut down. The
international media doesn't even get the chance to report on this. Since I heard this story from a secondary source
that claims she has seen this incident with her own eyes, I believe it. Soon after she received a phone calls from the
government telling her to withhold on publishing any of the photos she took of the incidence, or else her restaurant
would be shut down. I googled my way through the web, and the only other media outlet reporting on this incidence
was New York based, The Epoch Times. As much as I don't want my website to be blocked in China, we live in a
free world where corruption or injustice within politics should be treated with reparation. And where anyone, even a
skateboard videographer could have a critical voice against a country that he loves. (China please don't block my
website again like you guys did in 2010 for a couple weeks or months... Thanks... Xiexie)

How is this bird going to check on 'birds nest being build' if Youtube is censured? Or find friend of 'Bird Lovers

Viewed Optically, I am certainly not Thai nor a Smurf! "Who are you?"
