Arresting and ar--sing imagery from around the world - 34 galleries in all - from big heads to big jars, from dogs for dinner to llama foetuses for luck. Truly all life is here. For me, if not for you sitting at your PC, dreaming of visiting a town that has less than five Starbucks.

To add to the richness of your 'user experience' many of these photos are linked to commentary in the form of a travel diary where I give my puerile, smart-alec attitude the space it just doesn't have in a two line caption. Look away, read away and if you really hate me, why not make a fool of yourself in the internet's liveliest guestbook!
