PHOTOS AND TRAVELS
Thai Cambodia Border. One of the dangerous
things about traveling is learning the truth about
how things really are for most people. Celebrity
nonsense, having the newest cell phone, getting
jealous about other people's cars. What do you
think those things matter to people such as
these? These children hang over the border into
Thailand and beg change from the people
going to the buffet in that hut. The wall is the
Thai-Cambodia border. The stains come from
them climbing on that wall every day.
SGW in Taipei, Taiwan.
SGW at a, um, book
signing in Taipei. I tried
to get the Kitty Kat to
come back to
Hollywood with me
but her parents
refused when they
saw that jacket.
Would you have the courage to cross this line into
the unknown? This is the back entrance to
Cambodia.
SGW arrives in Laos. As you can see, there were
many fans on hand to greet me. I think ours was the
only plane for that day.
And at the notorious
Tuol Sleng Prison in
Cambodia. A truly
terrible experience.
This is the infamous
"re-education" center
of the Khmer Rouge.
Can any of you
believe that there are
still so many people
who want "more
government control"
in our lives?
The streets of Phnom
Phen.
When you see and hear about Shanghai, they
show you new, albeit empty, towers and
such. In actuality, over 90% of the city is like
this. Truly, nothing more than an overgrown
slum with garbage lining filthy streets.

girl in
Cambodia.
These kinds of
images remain
with me.
The Yasukuni Shrine in
Tokyo. Frankly, they
weren't that happy to
see me.
This must be the one
that got away. And
BTW, most of the
plaques in this
"museum" were such
lies that it doesn't even
bear going into or
refuting. Revisionist
history in alive and
well in Japan.
Ginza, Japan in the
fading light.
The streets of
Tokyo, WAY
after dark.
SGW moves
through the
foreign
landscape
like a wraith;
seen and
unseen.
The view from
my room in
Pattaya,
Thailand. My
advice to all
of you would
be that you
don't go there
unless you
want to buy
an old Soviet
rocket
launcher.
Laos. Notice the
Commie nonsense
behind the monks.
