TOMB RIDER TEMPLE

- Siem Reap -

Ta Phrom to me was the most impressive temple in the huge Angkor complex, 

where you can discover several wonderful Khmer architecture between more than ten temples.

Your' are not wrong if you consider this one of the most beautiful 

on Earth.

FIRE SHOW

- Koh Samet -

I was in Koh Samet few days, quite disappointing if you think you are in Thailand.

Ok, it's a nice place, nice sea, nice beaches, but here, in this country you can expolre real havens,

so to visit this island can be a waste of time. This is a picture from the wonderful fiore show you can see in front of one of the restaurant on the beach every night. It's very night and if u made the bad choice to come here, it's stupid to miss it. I'm going to show you something else too from this night, i'm really proud of this work:

THE BARBER SHOP
- Ho Chi Minh -

Ok, I admit I shouldn't be impressed for theese kind of things, on my trips I've seen so much...

Honestly, I've never seen a barber like this, in the really middle of a sidewalk, near nothing, with a little mirror and two chairs: One for the costumer, one for the next one.

I was almost posting a pic from the floating market reportage i made, that was amazing, but this was a bigger impact for me and less usual, I cannot explain but i had to share this shoot that now is also in my job gallery too.

More, I can give you the link for my travel reportage on the Can tho's Cai Rang Floatin market, the biggest of Mekong:

SO RICH SO POOR
- kuala lumpur - 

Kuala Lumpur was not a nice place for me. I've also wrote it in my blog stories,

it's a city that already oretend to be western, without having anything at all of western.

It's not an amazing wonderful skyscraper to make you western. The petronas tower are the 5th highest skyscraper in the world, but the city is one of the most dirty i've ever seen, you will hard find a taxi (teksi) that want to use the meter, they really love to stole you money without any kind of shame (at least in west the stole your proble, but in a smart way...). The only to things i loved of this town was the petronas, the batu caves, and my hostel, because i've found two nice friend. Actually now i'm in Jakarta flying toward Yojgiakarta in an amazing couchsurfing experience. Trust me Indonesia is another world! Jakarta do not want to be western, Jakarta can be not so beautiful, but is jakarta, with its own soul.

I made a reportage of this town, the picture that you can see is the first one. You can see all of them (not so many) here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/gianlucacasaccia/sets/72157627570129212/

MOOAY THAI
-  hua hin -

Go to Thailand and doesn't see this show as far as i'm concerned is foolish!

Also 'cause i was a fan of Muay Thai (I practized it for two years).

The Hua hin Muay Thai Garden is amazing: Little, dirty and so cool. It's really the place where i wanted to go to see this show. If you are interested to see more shoot of that night (it was my first time in a garden, so few photo are decent, see here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/gianlucacasaccia/sets/72157627490244644/

See ou next week for a beautifull picture of this amazing conuntry.

LEI YUE MUN Seafood District
- hong kong -

There is an amazing village in Hong Kong, is Lei Yue Mun, is considered just a district (a seafood one) of course, but is a real village, with the house, a market, playgrouds and temple. Is a village of fishermans and if u go is a thing very easy to understand. Easy life inside, ruins everywhere, boats and the signs of the sea everywhere. Here a particoular angle for a fisherman boxer.

If you like it you can see my complete reportage at this link: http://www.flickr.com/photos/gianlucacasaccia/sets/72157627045803635/

ABERDEEN PORT (Hong Kong Tsai)
- hong kong -

This is just a fisherman between big fishing boat in Aberdeen Port. I made a little reportage here (you can see it on flikr at http://www.flickr.com/photos/gianlucacasaccia/sets/72157627069241078/).

I choose this foto because i loved aberdden port. This is the real hong kong. Why?

Because Since the "Ming Dynasty" was the real name of this vilalge that in chinese means "porfumed port.  During the firsts years of XIX century, the name of the village was confused with the name of the whole isalnd by the foreigner travellers landed here. When they discovered the mistake, some years later, was too late because Hong Kong by now was the common name used fot the island, so in 1845 the vilalge took tha name of Hamilton Gordon, IV conte di Aberdeen, secretary of state of war and colonies.

By the way, if you go to hong kong i suggest to take one of the little boat and make a tour around the port, it'is no an amazing adventure, but it's nice and u can take good picture and it's quite cheap. Something different form the big sascrapers and the monasters. Don't forget to see my reportage if you like photos!!!! See you the next week
