^talking bout rickshaws, I'm sad to see the diminishing use of tangas. They may not be the fast, but they're great to look at and fully air conditioned lol


So much colour and fun - especially when you have to hold on for dear life on the
slippery plastic covered back seat lol. And the sound of the horses hoofs
when it canters
is so therapeutic, especially on balmy summer evenings. Ahhh miss this...

Must include trucks. A truckers pride and joy - awesome to look at on the outside

If you're going to ride a horse I assure you that this isn't the side of it you want to be facing..
 
In rural Pakistan, cooking is mainly done outdoors. I love it. Sadly, more and more people now have kitchens and the old way of life is slowly but surely dying out. I hope I can visit Pakistan this year and photograph such places before they vanish forever.

Girl churning butter.

My aunty's husband was a farmer and they had fresh milk and butter every morning. I remember her churning
it and then she's cook chapattis and put a huge dollop of buttermilk (makkhan) on it for me. I can still remember the taste.

tangaaaaa i've always wanted to sit in one :)

I went to school for a few months in Pakistan when we went on holiday. We used to go on a tangaa. One day the guy was whipping it so hard that it slipped and almost fell down a steep hill. I was petrified. The poor horse was old and going blind :(
 

Nice pics bro, when i was young i was always fascinated by volcanoes, i remember around 7/8 years ago that i started browsing google earth only for these kind of things :D i even wrote down the names. Bromo is a very famous volcano in Indonesia just like the Merapi.

Old man ask a Dutch boy
"Can you mention letters in alphabet ?"
"Yes, I can. ABCDEFGHIJNOPQRSTUVWXYZ.
"That's incomplete. Where are the KLM ?"
"Fly everywhere in the world !"


Nice pics, bro. Thank you very much. In Indonesia we call Holland as "land of windmill".

By the way, pictures from Holland remind me to my grandpa and grandma from my mother side, they spoke Dutch fluently. Indonesia formerly "Dutch East Indie", a colony of Dutch, remember?.
