Thanks
Thank you for writing an honest blog. It is so much better to read a travel account where someone speaks his mind, whether you agree with it or not. Otherwise it feels like you are just wasting your time reading someones travel accounts. I like your observations of people. Pretty good.

You're welcome!
Thanks for the nice comment, Sam! I much prefer to write a truthful account of my travels, instead of a superficial, embellished version of the actual experience. There's already too many of these floating around. :) Cheers, Jens

Ah, yes another of our dirty little secrets
GREAT blog - you're right, the Aus mining offshore thing is disgraceful. No bother for us tho, we are all riding the boom getting rich here...at the rest of the worlds expense. Looking forward to your next blog :)

Thanks a lot for the comment, Cindy! You're completely right, the current Aussie boom is obscene. But don't worry, Australia isn't the only one, pretty much all Western countries have heaps of skeletons in their closets.

These photos are memory provoking for me...
...because this time last year, I was on my way back to KL from Sumatra. I really enjoyed that city. :)

Enjoy your time in Malaysia
Liking the phrase "it almost feels like coming home?" Enjoy Malaysia and those pics of street views and cheap foods are exactly what I have in my collection of travel pics as well. ;D Keep exploring and safe travels! A.S

I've posted a link to this on a few Athiest FaceBook pages. I would put it on the Christian pages, but I think they might try to have me banned from FaceBook if I do. ;)

Way to go, Mell!
Thanks for sharing the picture! :) I do have to point out that it most likely carries a translation error: I'm pretty sure they mean 'watch out' instead of 'take care'.

I showed this blog to my boyfriend, and the following is his comment.

Smiles and Happiness at Obscene Extreme
When I used to attend any post-punk or hard rock concerts in my younger days, there was far less hassle and violence than concerts with mainstream pop artists. There appeared to be a greater harmony amongst fans who enjoyed less popular music genres.

I've had the same experience, even on shows where metal/hc-bands played who were already scratching the mainstream surface. People were a lot more careless and idiotic behaviour was more rampant. Maybe in the smaller scenes the harmony stems from the fact that there's more 'us', and less 'us vs. them'.

Do Not Spit!
I originally thought that this was a tooth flying out of the mouth, but my Taiwanese friend informed me that it is actually spittle!

A tooth?
That would have made the sign quite disturbing, wouldn't it. No teeth are to fly out of your mouth, keep them where they belong! :)

Thanks Dave! I really enjoyed my Chinese trip, here's a country that definitely deserves more of my time. Next time I'll go more off the beaten path. You're right, interacting with the locals is a lot of fun. Cheers, Jens

SUN YAT-SEN
So that's where he ended up...originally he lay in a coffin at Biyun Si in the Fragrant Hills of Beijing...then relocated to Nanjing...sounds like he now has a mountain!

Sun Yat-sen's resting place
Hi Dave, thanks for the comment! I didn't even know that he was in Beijing before, thanks for letting me know. He does have his own mountain now, Purple Mountain, and just by visiting his Mausoleum you get the idea that he must have been of utmost importance to China and its people. Cheers, Jens

Names in other languages
Unfortunately for the Chinese, Anglicised names don't have the same poetic quality that Chinese ones do, so they are restricted to some fairly tired choices. Before moving to Taiwan in 2006 to live for four months, a Chinese friend of mine bestowed me with the name "Da-Si-Xing" which not only sounds moderately close to "Dallas, Shane" but more importantly means "Thinking Traveller" - very cool.

Thinking Traveller
Hi Shane, thanks for commenting. You can consider yourself lucky to have been given such a poetic, meaningful Chinese name. When a man on the Shanghai Metro asked me what my Chinese name was, I wrote down the only two Chinese characters I could think of at that moment, 力 and 男, which in English means something like "Powerman". Needless to say, he couldn't stop laughing upon seeing it. :)
