Kamakura temple
Monday 15 November 2004
Kamakura near Tokyo used to be the capital of Japan for a significant number of years (before Tokyo became the capital).
Before the Kamakura era (1185-1333), the emperor of Japan and the government were both in Kyoto. During the Kamakura era, the Emperor remained in Kyoto but the government was in Kamakura. That's only long after the Kamakura era that Tokyo (at that time named "Edo") became the capital of Japan.

Redang resort in Malaysia
Saturday 15 May 2004
At the time I took this picture, there was a huge group of chinese tourist snorkling with flashy floats because they probably didn't know how to swim!!
Recently, South East Asia is a popular leisure destination for the Chinese middle class which for the first time is able to afford vacations abroad.
