Days to Go, Towl looking like a Twot

US

Istanbul

I have no idea what year it was I went to Istanbul, but the highlights were eating fresh fish straight off the boat, and seeing the Dervishes, which was completely otherworldly.

India 93

Malaysia 92

I really liked Malaysia. Highlights I remember include great Chinese food, and drinking beer in some posh flat that overlooked the city.

Syria

I think this was about 97. I have a very vivid image of seeing all the posters and billboards of the President, on the bus from the airport to Damascus. I'd never been anywhere with such a cult of personality before. We ended up sleeping on the rough of a hotel, as it was full.
The ruins were unbelievable. They are so complete (not ruins then) that you didn't have to use your imagination. A whole street of columns set against a brilliant blue sky tends to put some stubby post in a damp field in England into perspective.

Skye, Scotland

As with a lot of these photos from my previous life, I can't remember what year I went. I guess it was around 94. I can usually remember what I was reading though. I read a book by Henry Roth, about a small Jewish boy growing up in New York. I also remember it being so windy, that someone had put wooden planks across the window of the house where we stayed, just in case the glass blew out.

From the look of it, I was going through an over exposed black and white period.

The castle below isn't actually Skye. It's Eilean Donan, the Kyle of Lochalsh. If you've seen Highlander, the movie, you may remember it.
