This is a chestnut roaster in Bangkok's Chinatown.

This is a crocodile in a burlap bag being carried off the boat we took from Siem Reap to Battambang, Cambodia (one of the crocs of "stepping over the crocodile" fame). This crocodile was subsequently laid on the bank next to the other bagged crocodiles. We believe they were all on their way to a crocodile farm.

This is an elephant in the Lucknow zoo in India, giving itself a bath of dust.

This is the view from the pickup truck we rode from Pursat, Cambodia to the tiny settlement of Bramoy. It gives you a good idea of what the countryside of Cambodia looks like.

Here are some dancers who performed for us at the restaurant our friend Asmat took us to in Tbilisi, Georgia. We did not speed up this video in any way.

I liked the way the gold leaf on this image of the Buddha in Bangkok fluttered in the wind.

This is our friend Gujinder and his family at his aunt and uncle's home in Haryana, India. Gujinder is the one who gets all serious and frowns when he realizes he's on camera. He never smiles for the camera, as a policy.

This is one of the illuminated boats that floated down the Chao Phraya river in Bangkok to celebrate the water holiday of Loi Krathong.

Virtually any time one enters the gates of the Mahabodhi Temple in Bodhgaya, India, one will see a party of devotees prostrating themselves in a fairly athletic manner at the site of Buddha's enlightenment.

There are a lot of these brass band clubs all around northern India. People hire them for weddings, but I think sometimes they just play for fun.

At the Thanjavur temple, the statue of Nandi the bull regularly receives a ritual bath of foodstuffs. This video shows Nandi bathed in turmeric. While we were watching, Nandi was also given water, milk, and daal.

The public parks in Thailand are great, especially in the evening, when everyone's out to get their workout. There are strength training machines that anyone can use, and people are out jogging and taking aerobics and dance classes.

Finally, the reason I thought of posting all these videos. Sarah and I saw some cute puppies at the Goreme Open Air Museum here in Turkey. We're amidst some really cool rock formations with dwellings carved out of them; the whole region of Cappadocia is covered with them. But they don't make good videos. Cute puppies do. So I was asking myself, "Is this (banal) video worth posting to our website?" And that was when I realized that we had barely posted any videos at all. Thank you, cute puppies!
