Where Have All the Apsaras Gone?

This blog is intended as an outlet for the material - mainly photos and scribblings - produced during my wanderings through Asia. Besides coverage of obscure locations and Quixotic travel initiatives, there will be comments on strange foods; considerations of politics, history, and culture; and also a bit of subjective news and opinion thrown in there.
