Women's baleganjur in Bali (don't remember where I took this, sorry).

The Dirt Market in Beijing is a swirl of shops and you can find almost anything there that smacks of "antiquity" and "ethnicity". Here are some traditional neckwear from the hill tribes and two lovely ladies with whom i had a lively conversation but neither side knew what we were saying. and if you need a paintbrush, this is the place to be!

Our fantastic seniman tua (master dancers!): I Wayan Dibia, Jero Puspa, Jero Gadung , Ibu Raka and Ibu Arini performing at Hotel Tanjung Sari in May.
Amazing energy and inspiring!

my two sons being silly and Agung using his magical sakti to blow out his birthday candles!

the campus at WAP is lovely. My last day there it was quite foggy--this is the bridge that connects the high school to the middle school campus.

There's a lot of foot massage in Beijing.
One day, after hours of teaching and walking around, I wanted to get a foot massage. but almost all the places I passed had women with high heels and fishnet stockings on and not much else. These were the "plus plus" massage parlours and not for us women....

BUT I was turned on to a great visually impaired masseur named David (see him with his wife and son here). He does a lovely shiatsu type massage (fully clothed with no plus pluses). You can find him by crossing the street in front of the Lido Holiday Inn and going into the park. He's on the left side of the street about 50 meters in.

all over Beijing people are on bicycles. Some are electric, most are simple push bikes. Vendors push around their wares, like this nursery man, on foot powered carts.
