Photo Moment: Only in Japan….
Any country is A-OK in my books when their construction workers look like this. Japanese construction workers must be the best-dressed in the world!
The National Palace Museum of Cambodia
The National Palace Museum is a short walk from The Grand Palace just off Sithowath Quay in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. The terracotta roofed museum is fashioned in a traditional Cambodian design and was built between 1917 and 1920. I particularly enjoyed spending time between exhibits in the garden courtyard of the complex. I was a [...]
The Royal Palace of Phnom Penh, Cambodia
A monument situated on the palace grounds. Just a short walk from the lively river-side promenade of Sisowath Quay in the heart of Phnom Penh stands the lovely Royal Palace, or Preah Barom Reachea Vaeng Chaktomuk as the Khmers know it. The palace was built in 1866 and has been occupied by the kings of [...]
Suffering For Beauty: The Beloved Curse of the High-Heeled Shoe
The pursuit of fashionable feet is no stranger to the history books. Women have been enduring torturous footwear for centuries in the name of fashion and beauty. To all those high heel admirers, do you know exactly how much pressure is under your foot?

This was my choice for sightseeing in Osaka and we thoroughly enjoyed spending our afternoon strolling through this gorgeous park. I highly recommend it to anyone interested [...]
Rant: Blockbuster Shenanigans
While living in China, I used my Chinese everyday. Very rarely did anyone ever speak English to me because there just weren’t that many people who knew enough English to converse with me. Things like grocery shopping, banking, hair appointments and ordering were all common everyday conversations for me. Since moving to Taiwan, I’ve found [...]
Stats for My Several Worlds
Today’s the big day! My Several Worlds is officially one year old today. I’ve spent most of this morning reading over my first posts and remembering how frustrating it was to get my head around the concept of feeds, feedburning, uploading photos and widgets. This blog has come a long way since then. Thanks for [...]
Year End Reflections
This time of year is a time for reflecting on the past year and a time for planning for the New Year. 2007 is going to be a hard year to beat. Our travels took us by motorcycle along the high mountain passes of Taiwan and along its East Coast. We traveled to Thailand, Cambodia, [...]
A Taiwanese Christmas Story To Remember
Holidays are a busy time for everyone and that’s why I’m posting these pictures from our school Christmas show a little late. To be honest, I dumped them into the wrong file on my computer and forgot where I put them. The school rented hundreds of costume for all the students who participated. Some of [...]
