A Peek at Asean

Kelvin at d’Verse suggested for us to post some Asian experience pleasant or otherwise. Being Asian myself I reflected on what it had been. I dug into my arsenal of pictures and realized that there is one that doesn't discriminate. The ‘jungle is neutral’ and the scenes are beautiful. The environment opened up for whomsoever who chose to venture out.

I wish to share some recent ones here which are representative of the landscape in Malaysia, Indonesia and I imagine the Philippines and Thailand as well. These are  typical of the Asean region in South East Asia. Just an array of images with no accompanying write-ups save for some descriptions only.
