24 Hours in Kuala Lumpur | Tim Elliott | Malaysia, West Coast, Kuala Lumpur
This is a brassy, rambunctious place built on risk and impulse, a city that manages to marry elements of British empire (clocktowers, colonnades and cricket pitches), with the steam and sizzle of a hard-driving Asian capital
Bollywood | Tim Elliott | India, Maharashtra, Mumbai (Bombay)
Indian audiences are extraordinarily good at suspending disbelief,” says director Umesh Mehra, one of the biggest names in Bollywood. “In this way they are similar to US audiences"
Galapagos Islands | Tim Elliott
On the little visited Isla Pinta we found the beach covered with horny turtles, couples locked in laborious love, hour upon hour of near motionless copulation. It was hard not be envious
Hawaii Style | Tim Elliott | United States, Hawaii, Honolulu
The world slid by in snatches; shrimp shacks and shave-ice stores, monster trucks and Methodist churches
Honeymooning in Bangkok | Tim Elliott | Thailand, Bangkok, Bangkok
Only in Bangkok, a city of ten million Buddhists, could people sit in a three hour traffic jam and not want to kill one another
Horse-Racing in Dubai | Tim Elliott | United Arab Emirates, Dubai, Dubai City

Ronda | Tim Elliott | Spain, Andalucia, Ronda
Andalusia is loaded with ancient white villages clinging like cloud puffs to slender mountain ridges. What distinguishes Ronda is that the ridge to which it clings is split down the middle
San Trance Dance | Tim Elliott
The more you learn about the San, or “The Real People” as they sometimes call themselves, the more remarkable they seem
Santillana del Mar | Tim Elliott | Spain, Cantabria, Santillana del Mar
It's a fabulously preserved 12th-century hamlet, a sleepy little collection of ancient cobbled streets and noblemen’s mansions carved in stone
Taking a Gamble in Macau | Tim Elliott | China, Macau, Macau
The more crowded island of Macau proper resembles nothing so much as a lily pad groaning with people and buildings
The Carthage of the New World | Tim Elliott | Colombia, Cartagena, Cartagena
Popping by unexpectedly in 1586, Drake threatened to burn the city to the ground if the locals didn’t pay him 10 million pesos
The Mural-Painters of Tehran | Tim Elliott | Iran, Tehran, Tehran
Even if you've never been to Tehran and are indifferent to public art, there's a good chance that you're familiar with the work of Taghi Hosseini
Tiger Territory | Tim Elliott | Sri Lanka, South Coast, Jaffna
I arrived late one afternoon, with the city deep in the grip of an over-ripe sunset, a sticky tropical dusk that soaked everything — people, animals, and buildings— in an amber glow so thick you could bottle it
