Allah's Istanbul
The Bosphorus gleams
Under mosqued domes, religion
Always dominates
Tel Aviv Beats
Discos in Tel Aviv
Warm pulsing nights next the Med
Does conflict matter?
Jerusalem Peace
Christianity
Judaism and Islam
Peace often shattered
Cairo Pyramid Schemes
I go to Giza!
I take you tour Pyramids!
I always best price!
Tomb Raiders
Luxor bakes under
Saharan sun, the Nile flows
As cool Pharaoh's tombs
Mecca Circles
Circunambulate
Join the devout and offer
Constant Kab'aa prayers
Dubai Dollar
Concrete and glass signs
Of wealth and soulless greed an
Escape to sun and sea
Esfahan Sights and Sounds
Esfahan minarets
Tower over the city
Pious calls to prayer
Quiescence in Quetta
Quiet desert skies
Quetta encircled by fine
Balochistan sands
Literally Literary Lahore
When Kipling wrote of
Lahore's worn historic streets
Unforgettable
Pashtun Smiles
Peshawar rifles
Fierce smiles and Kalashnikovs
Pashtun tribal pride
Tradition Lives
Rawalpindi lives
Breathing tradition blending
Ancient and modern
Choked Capital
Lutyens Delhi tarred
By the same weather stained brush
Smog for slum and wealth
Colours and Breezes
Where pink palaces
Gather in the Rajasthan
Winds of old Jaipur
Tamil Nadu Heat
Spice clouds in Madras
Curried dreams of palate fire
And taste bud memories
Bustle in the K
Horns and market chat
Driven to distraction by
Kathmandu bustle
Pokhara Peace
Placid lake under
Himalyan watchful eyes
Annapurna waits
Sri Lanka CSI
Colombo bristles
Er, Just one more thing
I'm no detective
Bangkok Spices
The spiritual
The sensual and sordid
The spice of Bangkok
Good Morning Saigon!
Vietnam mornings
Banh Mi fresh bought on the streets
Tastes of Ho Chi Minh
Hue Battles
Đại Nội Citadel
Huê battles past, present
Bullets in the walls
Pnomh Penh Ponders
What future awaits
The Cambodian dreamers?
Well, Angkor Wat waits
Kashgar Hope
The mosques fall silent
As does the proud Uighur tongue
But in homes it lives
Beijing Dreams
22 million
Faces of modern China
Where do they all sleep?
Digging up the past in Xi'an
Warrior armies
Guardian protectors of
Terracotta secrets
Smiles in the traffic
Jakarta crawls to
A daily halt but there are
Always smiles to see
Semarang Floats
Monsoon brings floods and
Temporary disruption but
Semarang goes on
Yogyakarta Dignity
The Sultan takes tea
As Yogyakarta lowers
Its shoulders in respect
Bali Beach
Raucous wave riders
Happy beach hedonism
Not the real Bali
Kuala Lumpur Voices
Malay and Chinese
Tamil and English spoken
Language unifies
The Clean Streets of Singapore
Busy Singapore
Business and commerce upon
Streets of cleanest wealth
Hong Kong Skylines
Yes, point to the skies!
For whatever they decide
It's where freedom lies
The Ends of the Perth
I stood in Kings Park
Perth shone in warm southern sun
Happy isolation
Antipodean Architecture
Sydney skyline lit
Iconic bridge and buildings
Youthful and laid back
Top End Times
To the tropics - Darwin
Buzzing with backpackers fun
The humid night hums
On Melon Farming
In Kununurra
The trail of the melon men
Sun bronzed fruitful times
