i just posted a whole lot of new concert shots on my blog... but can't be bothered to upload them again and post them for a second time (i can't post pictures from the blog blah blah)

if you're interested, they're to be found here

(the link is in my signature too but i'll just play safe...)

^^ this looks like an amazing trip but its DEFINITELY ain't for me. I'm a pussy with bugs and what not. Gives me the creepy creeps.

I'm really keen on travelling and already have seen a fair deal of the world but I really never wish to go to Africa, the reason being basically the same what greedrex said. Bugs, dirt and diseases - no thanks.

yeah nasty shit.
Landscapes and wild animals are a must though.
South Africa?

Madagascar is pretty temtpting.
I prefer Asia though.

I wouldn't mind seeing Africa, it looks like a place to explore.

Indeed. How did you find it in terms of safety? I've heard that S'th Africa especially can get a bit sketchy. I assume you made it back with both kidneys.

oh shit:eek::eek::eek::eek:

Yeah. They'll no doubt set up quite self-contained hotels to keep them away from any local threats but even so. That whole tournament looks like its going to be a nightmare in terms of security.

Tokolosh, your pics are well impressive - that must have been a hell of a trip. I would love to do something like that.

Looks like an awesome trip, Toko!

Ah, and Slavo, if you didn't see any bugs in Southeast Asia then you weren't really there! ;)

tokolosh: wooooow

It's completely ridiculous. UEFA were the ones who gave the green light to S'th Africa hosting the tournament, now they're advising 'extreme caution' to fans wanting to go to it.

And yeah, it's the between and after match periods when fans start 'exploring' that's gonna be the real problem. This tournament could seriously end up ruining UEFA's credibility altogether.

Nice pics toko! I want to go to Island, australia, then SA.
Guys, about the uefa cup, ok, those are "dangerous places", but I guess there will be more police/security than supporters around the main areas during the cup....unless they're searching for a reason to disband ueafa altogether ahh a.

I think that's inevitably what will happen, which will put an enormous burden on the S'th African police who will have enough trouble separating rival fans without also having to isolate them from local dangers. I imagine those cities that'll be hosting the games will be a nightmare during that month, both for the fans and the residents.

I should be getting the g9 soon, found a good deal and hopefully it's what I was looking for.

Some snapshots from Rome:

some japanese roast pork i made last night

nice presentation there tp !

pickled ginger is far too good to just be a garnish. yum.

hot damn!

spectacular!

i'd get hungry if it was a different hour

this is from the himeji gardens in adelaide, australia. for those who have been to japan you will know that the gardens there look nothing like this (hat and beard to start with), even though the japanese sent gardeners out to guide the locals, the plants react differently to the aussie sun. anyway i was just playing around with the custom colour pallet in my camera and saturated the colours...

Vermillion Sands at the Woodstock Boogie Bar, Limoges, France.

took this from my balcony as they flew over pit straight... that's how close i am to the race cars :-(

clouds, and my city..

A friend after a DODDODO show :

I know none of the fruits in this image are exotic however this stall does sell durian and dragonfruits and things like that...

Nicely done.
