A few pictures.

Singaporean guy making Multabar, fried Indian bread stuffed with chicken and onions. Un. Bah. Lievable.


A super nice group of Singaporeans I met playing ultimate frisbee in the park. Here, they're scarfing down Chinese food after an exhausting game we played into darkness.


Awesome desserts at a Chinese dessert place in Singapore. Clockwise from top left: mango with shaved ice and black pearls, white almond paste and black sesame paste, white rice balls filled with black sesame paste and pink rice balls filled with sweet peanuts all in a bowl of ginger syrup, yam paste with pumpkin and ginko nuts.


Dragonfruit lassi in Melaka, Malaysia.


Block of food sold in Tokyo airport, purchased and consumed by your trusty narrator.


Adorable Singaporean woman who invited a friend and I into her shop to taste some of her tea.


Singaporeans grilling thin slices of beef, pork, and chicken. Grilled meet tantalizes.

Fish head curry (before), a meal meant for 4 or 5 people but consumed (somewhat) easily by yours truly, followed by a Lassi in a bag and a new colostomy bag, Singapore.


Fish head curry (after).


Classic Karate Kid crane pose wearing recently-acquired Japanese headband, Kyoto.


At Fushimi Inari Shrine in Kyoto. These orange gates went 3 km into the mountains. I climbed to the top after having climbed another mountain a few hours earlier, resulting in a hip flexor injury which still plagues me at the time of this post. But pimp limps are big in Southeast Asia, so it works out.


At Peace Memorial Park in Hiroshima.


Two nice Japanese girls I met in my hostel in Tokyo eating yellow watermelon (tasty!).


Kaizen (conveyer belt) sushi.


Karate pose 2 (post-attack).


Karate pose 1 (pre-attack).


First sushi meal/religious experience.


Chionin-Mae Temple, Kyoto.


In front of Chionin-Mae Temple in Kyoto.


Awesome cockroach costume I was quite close to buying in Harajuku (Tokyo).


The Japanese love English words, even when they don't quite make sense. Paired with the subject in the picture, however, this one works quite well.


Oh yes, baby vampire costume. Sucking blood CAN be adorable!


A clothing store with a name that, perhaps, only makes sense when translated into Japanese.


A tasteful V-neck in front of the Golden Temple in Kyoto.
