The new lens makes all the difference in the world. I haven\\'t had much of a chance to experiment with the flash yet. Work is keeping us both busy and we\\'re off to Singapore in a week. :-) Mon, 18 May 2009 05:14:12 +0000 http://www.myseveralworlds.com/2009/05/05/carrie-marshall-photography-on-dpss-monthly-critique/#IDComment21742697 http://www.myseveralworlds.com/2009/04/23/photo-moment-a-moment-of-clarity/#IDComment21742669 Hi Gerry, Thank you! How are you enjoying your new camera?

I just got your email about Elise. Little beauty, isn\\'t she? You must be such proud grandparents!

I come across them on my own, or friends send them to me.

John and I are saving it for later. Where are you heading to in BC?

It is expensive, but the experience would make up for it. Mon, 18 May 2009 05:10:47 +0000 http://www.myseveralworlds.com/2009/05/16/unusual-hotel-of-the-month-free-spirit-tree-spheres/#IDComment21742579 http://www.myseveralworlds.com/2009/05/01/launching-bang-fai-in-laos-rocket-festival/#IDComment21742533 Hi Manali and Terry. I\\'ll have to give some thought to that. There are so many incredible festivals in Asia. I don\\'t like to miss any of them! Mon, 18 May 2009 05:09:18 +0000 http://www.myseveralworlds.com/2009/05/01/launching-bang-fai-in-laos-rocket-festival/#IDComment21742533 http://www.myseveralworlds.com/2009/05/04/photo-moment-pink-muscle-car-my-kinda-wheels/#IDComment21742375 Hi Nivin, I\\'m not sure either. I\\'m having major issues with Intense Debate and will probably be ditching this plugin as soon as I find the time to repair all the damage it\\'s done. Sorry I was late getting to your post, but I\\'ve tried to reciprocate with an offer that might help you out. Look for an email from me and let me know what you think!

I\\'ve been here for three years and I\\'m still finding little hidden gems in Ximending.

I love Taipei. Wed, 13 May 2009 14:35:26 +0000 http://www.myseveralworlds.com/2009/05/12/photo-moment-lights-of-ximending/#IDComment21380849 http://www.myseveralworlds.com/2009/05/12/photo-moment-lights-of-ximending/#IDComment21380840 Thanks Tobie. I didn\\'t do too much with it. I added a bit of contrast by making the figures a bit darker and the electronics more vibrant. That sky is all Taiwan.

Your recent bout of dementia is probably from studying too hard. But if this is the worst you\\'ve got to offer, I\\'ll take it any day! Always glad to hear from you, K! Wed, 13 May 2009 14:33:50 +0000 http://www.myseveralworlds.com/2009/05/05/carrie-marshall-photography-on-dpss-monthly-critique/#IDComment21380792 http://www.myseveralworlds.com/2009/05/04/lao-mythology-the-myth-of-the-toad-king/#IDComment21380755 Hi K, This one isn\\'t on my Flickr account because it doesn\\'t belong to me. It\\'s a photo of an old painting of Naga. As far as where I found the legend, I\\'ll chalk it up to curiosity. I love ancient myth and culture, so I do obscure searches on the Internet every now and then. This month I was interested in Lao mythology after remembering that I had taken that photo during the Rocket Festival.

Don\\'t know how good it is for the camera, though! Wed, 13 May 2009 14:30:20 +0000 http://www.myseveralworlds.com/2009/05/01/launching-bang-fai-in-laos-rocket-festival/#IDComment21380674 http://www.myseveralworlds.com/2009/05/11/book-review-wanderlust-and-lipstick-the-essential-guide-for-women-traveling-solo/#IDComment21380637 Hi Graham, Actually, this book doesn\\'t give information on destinations. It\\'s geared towards people who are thinking about traveling and want to put that plan into motion. This is a guidebook to read before you go on the journey. :-) Wed, 13 May 2009 14:29:28 +0000 http://www.myseveralworlds.com/2009/05/11/book-review-wanderlust-and-lipstick-the-essential-guide-for-women-traveling-solo/#IDComment21380637 http://www.myseveralworlds.com/2009/05/09/where-to-eat-in-taipei-ay-chung-noodle-shop/#IDComment21380585 Andres, I heard that, too. Actually, I\\'ve heard that they have several shops around the world. As far as trying to figure out spelling rules in Chinese, I gave up a long time ago. Wed, 13 May 2009 14:28:11 +0000 http://www.myseveralworlds.com/2009/05/09/where-to-eat-in-taipei-ay-chung-noodle-shop/#IDComment21380585 http://www.myseveralworlds.com/2009/05/11/book-review-wanderlust-and-lipstick-the-essential-guide-for-women-traveling-solo/#IDComment21283230 Ah, but with a professional traveler such as yourself, Stevo, there wouldn\\'t be any point. I\\'d give it to a friend or relative who is thinking about traveling, but hasn\\'t worked up the nerve to do so yet. :-) Tue, 12 May 2009 05:28:07 +0000 http://www.myseveralworlds.com/2009/05/11/book-review-wanderlust-and-lipstick-the-essential-guide-for-women-traveling-solo/#IDComment21283230 http://www.myseveralworlds.com/2009/05/04/photo-moment-pink-muscle-car-my-kinda-wheels/#IDComment21283176 Hi Nivin, That\\'s the color of it. I couldn\\'t believe it when I saw it. A pink Porshe. I\\'d love to meet the owner.
