wow "A week later Irwan and I are reunited. All my affairs have been packed inside a giant suitcase and two stuffed rucksacks. Early next morning Eddy, Dheena and Irwan will drive me to the airport. I will spend too long arguing over baggage allowance as published in the carrier’s online info - and I’ll win my argument. I’ll be left with a half minute to hold my friends tight and to realize only at the last minute that we’re parting. My breath and body will shake with this sudden misfortune. And salty tears will glare my way through customs where a young official looks twice at my pitiful expression. I will fail to recover one hundred photos of Borobodur, of Prambanan and of Irwan & I, taken with great pride and accomplishment - and know that I must return. "
poignant piece of writing- thanks

the waxing and waning, warp and weft of civilization Fascinating observations Kevin of tradition versus progress and the implications of how these issues affect the enjoyment of sunsets (please excuse the poetic licence). Yet your pics show there is still hope of many more traditional sunrises. I hope so.
What'd you call it? Great blog that made me wonder, then surmise, then kinda imagine I was in a yurt, a tumble down truck bumping and bobbing along the road then a horse surveying the wide beyond. Then the photos took me there.
What an awesome experience you had... Guys,
You're really a lucky person, why ? coz you have a chance to discover and explore the world.

Thank you! Kevin, your pictures of Pakistan made my heart sing this morning. I was in the same area in 2007, and also stayed at King Ashok's place. Really wonderful to reminisce, and thank you for sharing. Tiziana (www.travelblog.org/Bloggers/Travelling-Priestess/)
Yowza! Great to see you back safe and sound in Canada! In my dreams we meet for beers in Amsterdam! Your work gets better and better. A novel soon?
Take care!

SWAT (Snow, Water, Air and Trees) A beutiful piece of land on earth. Once it was a place popular for its peace. But now due to the US War against terrorism (Muslims i.e we can,t name these pople terrorist) spoil its peace. The presence of PAK Army in these areas are also not a good sign for tourism. By birth I am from SWAT but due to my professional a carrer I am in Karachi from last ten years. I visit swat twice a year. I become very glad when i listen its buety prase from some other specialy foriegners. Lets pray for Peace in SWAT.
