A red house

Many houses in Kathmandu feature colonial hangover motifs with arches, paneled windows and all painted fantastically bright colours.

Thai spirit houses

Walking along the streets of Bangkok or any other Thai town you can't help but notice small doll-like houses here and there. They can be seen in the compound of nearly every house, business office, restaurant or hotel. These are so called spirit shrines - the symbolic residences of the guardian spirits. The structures perch of wood or cement pillars and receive daily offerings of rice, fruit, flowers, candles and incense sticks.

Sometimes there is a collection of ceramic or plastic figurines inside the house representing the property's guardian spirits. Larger shrines may contain even bronze images of Brahma or Shiva.
