Random Photos of the Past







Camels by the Pyramids of Giza, Cairo Egypt Dec 2009 

One of the most unforgettable trips of the lifetime was the 13 day trip to Egypt, sipping Luxor Beer on the Nile, visiting the temples at Luxor, Karnak, Kom Ombo, the Aswan dam, Alexandria port city and of course the pyriamids at Giza as pictured above.

How an ancient civilization could build such massive structures withstanding 5000 years of the sand, wind and rain and with pinpoint accuracy on the incline of these massive structures is one of the world's 7 ancient wonders. 




Enjoying a cup of Vietnamese Weasel Coffee along the sidewalk in Ho Chi Minh with Ilhangkannan Narinasamy in 2011 

We had a great time 3 days in Ho Chi Minh in 2011, unfortunately the visit was marred by the fact that when we were there in November, Japan that very day was hit with a tremendous earthquake and led to the Fukushima nuclear plant closing and lots of people losing their lives to the tsunami. A real tragic time to be out having a coffee.   



At Tour Eiffel in 2008  

Named after the architech who designed this iconic structure, the Eiffel Tower started life as a radio tower in the 19th century and its iconic image has been the subject of millions of toursitic trinkets, photos, and novels all in the name of romance and love.

Just a couple of random photos from my past travelling to various countries.
