I was compliaing in Bali how it's overrun by tourist. Now I'm complaining about lack of tourist infrastructure here. Those who do try to provide services for tourist, nice one, it must be a difficult business!

Wow, this one is remarkable Alok! Looks like you had a moonless night in Tonga! I wonder why you've taken this photo with the S90 and not with the E510 :D!

Thanks, it was clear night and it was lit up stars. Believe it or not by the s90 is actually a better camera at low light! s90 has ISO 3200 and F2 :)
