Peacocks free to roam around the temple compound.
"Bugs" Around My House
(these have nothing to do with the previous images, but they were in the same folder, and I kind of like them, so why not?)

White Buddha and bugs
Went out with some friends to climb a gazillion steps to reach this Buddha image, close to where we live.

Tiger Temple, Kanchanaburi
Walking with the tigers...you're instructed on where to pet it, where to stand, what to do and what not to do...

Mini-vacation
Mini-vacation weekend in Phuket. Courtesy of Ron & Shawna (Thanks again!).
Aqua-chatting... took these pics with my cellphone, so the quality isn't that great, but the moments are!
The classic auto-picture, intended to prove that I was there, at this very nice beach, at this very nice resort, with those very nice friends :)
Watermelon & papaya art
The anti-topless activists.... by some random turn of events, we ended up at a beach where some European ladies had decided to go topless, so we decided to stage an anti-topless demonstration...hehe
The incredibly graceful duo, of reknown ballet fame...haha (via Daniel's camera. Gracias!)

Mucha cultura :)
Recently, we've done quite a few things on the culture front here at Asia-Pacific International University (we've been forbidden to say AIU :) )...
The Mexican girls studying here this semester put on an item, an all the rest of the Latin Americans pitched in...
Vietnamese students, with their beautiful Ao Dai costumes.
Indonesian students, Irian Jaya region dance.
Chinese male students and their tai chi, the girls and their ethnic tribal (can't remember the name) dance.
Iraqi and Iranian students (plus honorary ones)... I got dragged up on this one, but fortunately nobody took pictures of me...(or did they...hmm, possible blackmail material ;) )
Several of the groups asked (or rather dragged) people from the audience to join them on stage. Here's Daniel (of renowned tango fame), and Paola and John Bueno, doing their best Bhangra dance with the Indian and Nepalese girls... Ok, so I got carried away with the editing...thought the little "supernovas" would cover all the general strange flailing of hands rather nicely.
Some very gracious friends usually have me over on friday evenings. After supper, their girls often prepare Bible charades (previously featured here ), inviting the adults to join in. Well, I think this one wins the "best improvised costume" award (note the royal asparagus)...don't you?

Ancient "Culture"
