Padang has a large, well all areas in Indonesia have a chinese influence or area. Kampung Cina Kota (Chinatown). This included a rather picturesque Chinese temple.

Nice one Mr. and Mrs. KW.

Some great pics there mate and good info.

Whats you real opinion about Indo life KW. I expect you have lived in quite a few different environments and society's but do you prefer Indo living to just say Thai living.

I know life is what you make of it but I really am interested in your thoughts.

Thanks in advance.

[Loy Toy]

Did you take Scampy with you as well KW!

And like all good movie producers always getting in the way.

[kingwilly]

Did you take Scampy with you as well KW!

damn you ! have a red!

Whats you real opinion about Indo life KW.

Jaysus, we'd have to sit down with a bottle of red (or two) to really thrash out that issue.

but do you prefer Indo living to just say Thai living.

I liked living in both places, there is both good and bad points about each.

Whoever he is, he must be balding. Why else would he wear a baseball cap?

Bollocks. He's going bald (except on his arms).

[kingwilly]

no truth whatsoever in it at all. none.

[Marmite the Dog]

Oh, is that you in the photo?

Touched a nerve there, so it must be true.

Nice shots. I hope to visit that part of SEA one day.
