An afternoon with a Penan family


A few moments with a Penan family, waiting for the rain to stop. They'd recently left their relatives to settle close to the village of Bario in order for their children to go to school.

Busking in KL


I rant into this busker outside the Reggae Bar in KL in the morning hours. He was singing at the top of his voice and playing his air guitar - made from polystyrene which he'd tastefully (!) decorated with the words Ayam Goreng (fried chicken).
