BALI AND INDIANA JONES

- Ubud -

This is the temple of Gunung Kawi, one of the most beautiful pleace i've never seen. A little river, the Pakrisan, runs down this wonderful hidden valley between rice terraces, where around 1000 years ago a wonderful indu temple was built up from a King: It's also called the valley of the Kings. It's really a pleace that you cannod miss if your are travelling here: To miss it is a deadly sin, trust me.

THE SPINNING TOP MAKER

- Air -

I'm in an island, little, very little. There is nothing, more or less, at all. U can find a lot to take a photo, but you have to follow the nature, it' unusual to find something more interesintg for me. This was a great spot... I never saw a spinning top maker. He spend all his day building up spinning tops with his father, and than hours to try them, to fix them, improving them. Nice tale to listen with the eyes.

I apologize for my usual engish mistakes... :)

See you next week.

WATER - AIR

- Air -

Nothing than a Fish Eye is better to see the sea.

I choose to take this photo 'cause the water is the element that make me feel litterally sorrounded, also more than the air. Actually, this is the ironic destiny of the water that in indonesian is called Air, the name of my paradise.

-Air-

This is just another sunset in my life, but hte first behind a volcano.

A real orange syk was painted in front of me: this is a paradise, maybe not lost but so

tangible... Amazing Indonesia.

THE LITTLE PARADISE

- Trawangan -

I'm in a little island now, an Indonesian one.

Something spectacular, trust me. How can i describe a really beautifull little island (really really little) withoutn any kind of motor?

I have no word, maybe this pic can do it for me. 

2 + 9 Settembre

I couldn't post photos this two week 'cause the connection eas really weak.

Not is a little bit better here, so i'm going to post tow pics already showed in my facebook photo page,

one per missed week, about Jakarta and JogJakarta.

THE ROOSTER BREEDER

- Jogjakarta -

Jogjakarta, or Jogja for everybody, is a little Jakarta, also called the Sexy City from some citizens of it. The same Givanese soul, that can look like more dangerous, more "bad" here, but is just appareances. Nice people you can find in the deep veins close the river.

This is a rooster breeder. Here the roosters are wild for nature, always with a scary

sight, and i can be cynic telling this, but the are incredibly tasty...

A PERFECT MOMENT

- Jakarta -

I do not konw if this was a photography perfect moment, all I know is that was perfect around me and

 in that really moment, this "cab" just was passing by full of children smailing and shouting for us, just because a foreginer are there. 

Batavia, the historical old city of Jakarta, now is an area inside the city that reflect the soul of this country. The people in Giava are really nice and smily. Different from what i'll find in Bali when the souls of the people was broken by Dollar God brought it teher from tan hi-level turism.

Jakarta is different, Jakarta is real

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/

YOU'RE THE REASON I'M LEAVING
- Phuket -

This is the sea now in thailand, or better the only sea i've found during my trip. It's always raining and

when i've changed location (two times) the say to me: "It was nice 'till two days ago" (utt two days ago it wasn't nice, just cloudy instead of rainy). So i've decided to leave for coming back later, when the sun will shine on this reign's jewels.

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.
