Mount Kinabalu, in Malaysia, is the 20th highest mountain in the world and is quite a favorite as it is quite an easy climb. If you are young and fit then the climb should be not problem and I hear the sunrises are quite brilliant.

I am neither young and fit so getting to the top any time soon is probably out of the question for me. So I wont have the pleasure of getting up before the crack of dawn, having my lungs gasping for air and finding the summit stuck in the clouds.

The view here shows the Mountain cloaked in clouds. The town of Kota Kinabalu is to the left of the picture while in the foreground are, I guess, see gypsy homes.

Macau is Asia’s gambling capital has seen increased growth in casinos over the past few years. The Venetian is (currently) the largest casino in the world.

Gamblers are well catered for here with around 3,000 rooms to rest your head or a massive indoor shopping center.

The hotels is styled after the companies casino in Las Vegas and as can be seen from the picture is just as tacky.

No matte how nice the imitation skies look and realistic the gondolier’s signing may sound, the whole complex is designed to make you part with your money.

If you are wealth enough to loose a few thousand then spending a few nights at the Venetian might be quite pleasurable. I did and temptation got to me, I played the slots and wasted around US$10. Never again, never again.

Another selection of food spread out for Hot-Pot. The glasses that look like they are filled with beer is actually tea. In Hong Kong tea flows freely. More often than not you whenever you eat out you are greeted with a glass of tea.

This can either be drunk or if you are of a particular fussy persuasion used to sterilize your chops sticks.

At the top of this picture and slightly to the right is my favorite little bit of snack, Dried Fish Skin. Crunchy in the mouth but it’s at  its best when dipped in the Hot-Pot soup then it just melts like butter.
