My favorite road to my favorite temple



Mahalaxmi temple, Bombay.

Extreme paan spit...

Duplex



I love the slums where they have the ladders to make an extra space on top of the floorspace. If you look at it in a very positive way, this could be considered as a duplex...but maybe that's too much pun for the harsh reality?

Kumar's at 47?



Hard to believe this is actually somebody's home.

Laundry service

Add as a friend



Old god meets new god.

Dear Government of Japan, thank you for building such a wonderful metro in Bangkok. Can I ask you to contact Patrick Janssens and Kris Peeters to do the same in Antwerp.

Coconut ice cream



I'm sorry...FRESH coconut ice cream made from YOUNG coconuts served IN a FRESH YOUNG coconut with some FRESH YOUNG coconut on the bottom of the FRESH YOUNG coconut complimented by some FRESH YOUNG coconut juice and topped with FRESH PEANUTS.

That's nuts, isn't it? Well, it's certainly the best ice cream I ever had for 25 Bath.

Small paper, big trouble




Buy me a couple of beers and I'll tell you what I had to do to get this little paper fixed.

Temples, temples & temples





Madonna temple



Strike a pose...

Tuk-tuk inside

Tuk-tuk outside

They misspelled my name...

Even monks have to do their own laundry





Madame Thaissauds



When I visited this temple I was astonished by the old monk sitting between the statues. This guy was totally Zen, didn't even blink his eyes. So I sat down for half an hour observing the monk and admiring his tranquility. I even got a Zen feeling myself.

Later at dinner they told me it's a puppet...Perfect example of religion being a thing between the ears.

Excuse me sir, that is not my leg...

Who?

Fully or funny?

German-Hispanic




Y casa Antonio? I'm guessing something like "chorizo und sauerkraut" on the menu...

Who's your daddy?




Shop to buy a new papa?

Loy Kathrong, the day after






The riverbanks flooded with Loy Kathrong boats and used fireworks.

Old houses bicycle tour



Near the Iron bridge.

Robin's place

If you're in Chang Mai go and have a few beers at Robin's place. He's a great guy from Antwerp living in Chang Mai and running a bar. He also plays the best music in town. Talking about living the dream.



This is a snapshot from my match against Dick, which I won. Belgium - Holland: 1-0 :-)
