chinese taipei

long weekend in taiwan.. i expected something very much different from mainland china - a vibrant small country striving to
remain independent from its big brother - but if sb threw me out of a plane without telling where we are, I'd say
"i'm in mainland china".. taiwan turned out to be more than similar, perhaps except for full characters on street ads..

classic chinese scooter combo..


nyc style yellow cabs..


president's palace.. the previous tenant was recently arrested on corruption charges..

KL baby...

random selection from KL.. here we gooo.. i'm not a huge fan of skyscrapers but i was
truly impressed by Petronas Towers.. very striking piece of metal.. in just a few minutes
by cab you can get to pretty undeveloped areas and then it's even more impressive
(i admit i didn't really manage to capture that).. no doubt it must have looked like a
spaceship for some ppl in '94 when it was built..

manila: part II

this time a b&w batch to make it more realistic and bring some stronger contrast..

manila: part I

welcome to streets of Manila.. the pics below present a very biased view since I was looking for some interesting
subjects and it may leave you with a wrong impression.. in fact, the city itself has been recently developing very fast and
some of its areas remind more of hk central than a ghetto.. but this is much more interesting, isn't it?
