My commute

The wheels

The sights along the way...

I pass a lot of rice paddies on the 13 kilometer trip to work.  There are a few fish farms as I get closer to work as well.  I run across a lot of interesting things but usually don't have a camera handy.  I will try to document a few of them in the future.  The office pictured is also the a house.  I often sit, type and sweat at the table pictured to the right of the house.  The office is on the first floor.

The more interesting occurences on the way home from work usually entail a weekly game played with the police.  They stop all motorcyclists for their weekly coffers at some point, usually a Tuesday or Wednesday.  I get corralled onto the shoulder with the rest of the cyclists, as there is no way to avoid them, they have all the arteries covered.  But I have an advantage over the others.  When I flip up my visor to reveal my smiling white face, the officer gets nervous, as he doesn't speak English.  He does know how to say "Go!", however, and he says it to me about once a week, and waves me by...   

And here's a random photo for good measure.   Tried to find one of some flowers that I see, but failing that, this will do.
