Akha hill tribe village
This was the village we trekked to in Luang Namtha. It is home to 120 people, 60% of whom are children. They are pretty much self-sufficient and live on rice and vegetables that they grow, seeds and fruits from the trees, and small game they catch in the jungle. They have a generator and a loud speaker system in the village.

Akha woman spinning cotton
I went on a 2-day trek in Luang Namtha through the lush jungle and stayed overnight with a hill tribe. We met this woman in the jungle near her village along with some of her clan. She demonstrated how they spin cotton and was very nice offering some of the seeds they eat. She was shy and didn't understand why we wanted to take pictures of her. I can understand that because if I was at work and someone came in asking to take pictures of me I'd wonder why!

Baishuitai Lime Terraces
On our way from Tiger Leaping Gorge to Zonghdian we passed this amazing natural feature in Baishuitai. The cool water was running down the soft limestone terraces and the surrounding countryside was beautiful.

Tiger Leaping Gorge
View of Tiger Leaping Gorge after completing the 28 bends of hell with a full pack on my back. Needless to say it was worth all the effort to be greeted by such breathtaking views.

Cormorant fisherman in Yangshou
These fishermen use cormorants to catch fish much like a hawker does to catch birds.

Yangshou countryside
Yangshou had amazing scenery with limestone peaks rising out of the ground some 100-150m. This picture was taken from the Dragon Bridge which I had cycled to one day.

Hong Kong Skyline
The best skyline I've seen so far was from Victoria Peak on Langtau Island. This one's for you old man! Had a pint in your honour at the top waiting for night to fall, any excuse for a beer eh?!

Tree ripped up in Manila
This large tree was ripped out of the ground by the force of the typhoon that hit Manila. It blocked the main road until the following day when the clear-up effort started.

Kids playing in the fallen trees, Manila
Some trees crashed down on the empty childrens playground in the typhoon. The kids were content with a new playground made out of the trees.

Tree blocks main road in Manila
Being caught up in the typhoon was a new experience for me. It wasn't as bad as I had imagined but it left a trail of destruction and some lives were lost in the devastation. The winds reached 130 kph in Manila and people took shelter where they could find it.

The Silent Pool, CoCo Beach
I spent a couple of afternoons at this beautiful pool after mornings spent scuba diving. I also took advantage of the happy hours in this spot - 2 long island iced tea's for the price of 1 (1 quid)! For those that know me you may be surprised to hear this admission!!

Manila Jeepneys
Taken from the back of a Jeepney on the way to central Manila. They are so cheap and a great way to travel if you can put up with the smells! Gotta love the names they call them and the pride in their decoration.

Downpour in Shanghai!
I took this picture whilst sheltering from the torrential downpour that lasted about an hour. I was caught right underneath the storm and the thunder rolled through the streets like a dozen planes taking off at once! The photo doesn't quite capture the amount of rain coming down, I knew I should've bought an SLR!!
