A beer drinkers trip summary

---

The tour lasted the expected time - just over 12 weeks. A long time to be away. A long time to spend living out of a backpack & dealing with all those trials & tribulations that seem coupled to the joys of travelling. A long time to spend, almost every waking moment, in close proximity to friend or even a loved one. (A long time for Marg who's kids all had birthdays, exams & exam results in her absence.) It was almost a regular feature of our travel day to have our afternoon happy hour drinks; to help shed some of the burdens this particular day had provided. An essential part of the day. A means of maintaining ones sanity.

This, the last episode of our Asian Tour 2007, is essentially just a photographic entry. It represents some pleasant times spent getting to know the local feeling derived from taking in some very local drink. I believe I learnt quite a lot from this avenue of enquiry & I may even follow up this entry with a doctorate thesis on the topic & the insights it provides to the indigenous persons.

I did not photograph every beer I drank on tour. I did try to photograph every new beer I tried, but did not quite achieve this through lack of camera (or consciousness) at the time. Nonetheless, herewith is a very important part of my holiday from which I will continue derive many hours of pleasure upon reviewing this set of memories.
