Far Out, Far East – 2014 By Eric Paskel | November 23, 2015April 7, 2016 My abode Living high Beauty amidst the poverty Paradise found Just chillin Lushness Majestic The view, the view! Safe harbor Red sun…hot day Ready for the tourists Now, this is a cruise “ship” Cruising down the river Beachfront Everything but the kitchen sink Hanging out their “dirty” laundry Family fishing A story told You’ve got to have art Buddha, Buddha, Buddha Ornately beautiful Picture is worth a thousand words A temple History lesson on the facade Golden dome Impressive backdrop Love the pagodas Peace, namaste And the rocks came tumbling down The protectors Vietamese sacrifices The face of someone who has seen it all Sun dial? Look of innocence Conversing with the locals Universal hand signs Everything for sale No matter where…there is always a KFC near Streets teeming with cycles Cheaper to run than cars Stuck in traffic Graffiti is universal, or so it seems As tame as an elephant Must be a young one. He’s eating green bananas. My new SUV Love Babar Nothing like a cold shower Awwww Cages are never a good thing! I know why the caged monkeys cry To market, to market Are you hungry? Skewered snakes? Snails? Or puppy dogs’ tails? Cooking up some afternoon delights Food art Roasted corn on a stick…yummm Pucker up Kissing it up Dragon with ruby eyes Perfect fit, but can it be washed? Birds flying? M.C. Hammer’s? Private john Solitary confinement Torture chamber? Tuning out, to tuning in Sunset, always breathtaking Tam biet (goodbye in Vietnamese)
