You guys keep asking for it, so here’s another batch of photos from my adventure!

Taken in Salang & ABC, Tioman, and Tambun, Malaysia

Photo captions below, by number:

(1) I wish I had a cave in my backyard.

(2) Can you tell which ones are the real warriors? I think we blend in quite well…

(3) Hopefully this shot can give y’all a glimpse of the crazy temples and limestone landscape. That’s a temple, and the next photo shows what it looks like from the inside.

(4) Yep, this is what it looks like on the bottom floor. It was so beautiful, and we were the only people inside! We climbed all the way up, though it goes on six stories higher than you can see here.

(5) On the second level, you jog around the entire circumference of the temple while spinning these “chimes.”

(6) This lovely image awaits you when you pass the tenth floor. Its back is a tree–you can see some of the branches sticking out near the head.

(7) And this is what it looks like from behind the hand. It’s a pretty awesome view.

(8) Back on the Malaysian islands, he happily cleaned his chalets every day.

(9) Mr. Singh, whose house I stayed at for a bit. In a rare moment of silence.

(10) More of the family I stayed with.

(11) This is my own version of “Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs.” BEFORE they decided to wreck the amazing book with a terrible movie.

(12) The Malaysian flag through a window in a haunted British castle.

(13) Only natural colorings and flavorings!

(14) Huuuuge wok! Yum.

(15) You just get a few scoops of this and that, and you might get weird preserved veggies, sweet dried fruits, spicy nuts, or dried fish. Every scoop is a risk.

(16) This one is for my mom. Just to elicit a scream.

(17) This just proves that puppies are cute all over the world, even if they’re only fed rice.

(18) Men on a fishing boat and a killer stare.

(19) Kids sneaking a peek outside their home on the island.

Here’s the second installment of photos from my travels. This one includes more from my Thailand teaching and travels, and then some of snorkeling and camping on a Malaysian island.

Taken in La Oop, Mae Sariang, and Chiang Mai, Thailand, and Salang, Malaysia

Photos are labeled with numbers below. To read why I must do it this way, please see Photos – Southeast Asia Part 1.

(1) I just rode my bike in back of a Thai temple in Chiang Mai and found this. The monk on the left knew some English, and I knew some Thai, so we ended up talking for half an hour.

(2) This is supposed to look scary, but actually it’s the fun after-school boy scouts/girl scouts program where they do relay races and fun stuff on the playground. But yeah, the government-issue uniforms are scary.

(3) Amazing leaf bug.

(4) I crocheted this hat for my littlest sister. The orange color was the only yarn sold for miles and miles, so don’t blame me.

(5) This is a dragonfly with the thinnest black wings folded above its body. Alien-like, oui?

(6) He used to love NY, too.

(7) I’m in a tree, I’m in a tree, take a good hard look at the MOTHER-

(8) A man working on a fishing boat. Note the cigarette in one hand and cell phone in the other despite the poor working conditions.

(9) The view from where we camped for free. Dang.

(10) Me and Hamid.

(11) Oh come on, they’re cute! In a creepy kind of way.

(12) Just a cool li’l lizard, but not as cool as the next one, which is…

(13) …a WILD Komodo Dragon!

(14) A local Malay woman fishing in the morning.

(15) My little sister in the village.

(16) What I had to eat every day with rice. It’s about as good as it looks.

(17) Me and Sanit.

(18) You had to be there.

(19) This is how you get drinks to go. A cup? Try a bag. Thanks.

(20) An abandoned farm shed in Thailand.
