Malacca Malacca

Malaysia is mostly a muslim country. The number of tourists from Iran and the gulf is fairly high...
facilities to obtain a visa when you are from Iran can impact your choice of destination...


I did not think I would see this kind of 'crows ' as we call the fanatic except in Iran specially not in South East Asia....

It's not the traditional picture we have from Malaysia - diving in bikini on an splendid beach.

yet, there women cover their hair and respect the Hijab which means the islamic veil.

For my part when I see girls that age with the hijab, I think it is such a shame....


Hopefully It s not a majority of young girls who wear the hijab, and veils are often colorful not like in the middle east where it would be seen as a provacative gesture


This girl was playing with her Girl friends. She should be 9. Does she even get why she has to have this hijab?

Talking about fashion...part 1




Singapore is known for being a hot spot when it comes to high street shopping.

I was interested in knowing more about designers, small shops, where all the creativity lies!

So I took my camera to Haji lane in Arab street district


people are really friendly, you feel like shopping with a bunch of friends that inspire you, nothing like Paris fierce style competition race.



Each shop has its personal touch and soul




some people are quite daredevil...



Some are simply smoking shisha in the street from one of the many cafes


I met this rapper en herbe. He had a friendly crew shooting his pics for his next album.


some details from the shops = give me luck, give me money!






one of the best shop



I like the matching belt and scarf


hong kong designers actually...

Bali Balo

First time in Bali. It is stupid but I did not think it would be so big and so diverse, rice plantations, surfers, lovely people like nowhere else










.













Hiding in the fields!



Even with this aweful line I love this pic, I even think the line makes it real!












That's probably the magic about Bali..
