Colourful Qatari Contrasts

Qatar is a country of contrasts. When visiting the capital, Doha, be sure to take a stroll along the Corniche promenade and delve into the history of the city. Look at traditional garments, spices, handicrafts, and souvenirs in the colourful shops in the traditional Souq Waqif market with its spice-scented air, before visiting the Museum of Islamic Art with its fascinating modern architecture.

Traditional dhows – colourful wooden fishing boats – lie at anchor in the harbour alongside motor boats, set against a backdrop of stunning, modern skyscrapers on the city’s skyline across the bay.

Sampan Navigating a River, Vietnam

Travelling through Vietnam you will often see sampans navigating the rivers and near-shore coastal waters. These relatively flat-bottomed boats are used for everyday transport and fishing.

On sheltered, inland waters their owners and family often live on them. Sampans may be propelled by poles – as here -, oars or be fitted with an outboard motor.

Singapore Financial District and Fullerton Hotel

Getting ready to countdown to the New Year 2012. An awesome view across the bay to the Singapore Financial District. The golden lit colonial style building is the Fullerton Hotel. The balls in Marina Bay are lit purple by lasers but are actually white and carried handwritten New Year’s wishes as part of the Countdown Celebrations.
