S. India & Malaysia photos

Sorry if this is up twice, this computer is stuck on japanese so I'm having some trouble.

Here's the shore temple in Mamallapuram. THat's the heart of the tsunami zone.



One of the cool things about South India is the street painting, here's two examples from Pondicherry:





Even in Pondi - French India- Cricket is king of the streets.





The temple complex at Madurai, one of the coolest things I saw in all of India:



Who goes to Kerala without seeing kathkalai? Nobody:



...or fishermen on the backwaters? Nobody:



On the way back down Mt. Kinabalu in Sabah, Borneo:



In the heart of the jungle in Mulu, Borneo:



Ugliest mammal ever, the Malayan flying fox, world's biggest bat. This thing is like a flying cat and even nastier looking in person. Big and ugly, but cool



And here's a picture of Melaka, Malaysia, simply because I felt like I had to put one in. A nice city, thoguh not a great picture. That's the dutch/portugese church of St. Francis X, which the Brits ruined by putting the ugly lighthouse in front of.
