Travel-diary: Dachau Concentration Camp, Munich
Exceedingly bright and cloudless summer day spent at Dachau, Germany’s longest running Jewish concentration camp Here we are at the gate, where 60,000 Jews entered but never left. (admittedly, we look a tad too happy for the solemnity, but it’s a tourist thing) To be honest it could be a lovely walk in the park…

Travel-diary: Basilica of Sant’Ambrogio
Built circa 1080 Milan, Northern Italy The walls of the Basilica The confession chamber. Speak the truth, even if your voice quivers. There’s something about churches that illuminate the unspeakable calm One does not need to be of a certain religion to appreciate the beautiful monotony of rites The Basilica also houses the tomb of…

Travel-diary: Melbourne
Perhaps I’m not too much of a winter person. Hiding from the incessant drizzle in the heated warmth of the hotel just shows what a coward I am! Checked in at Rendezvous Melbourne in the evening. Dinner was at Nando’s, before bumming with Rena and watching Running Man till we almost dropped dead from laughing…

Brisbane, King George Square
Someday I’d wish to be a true backpacker in Brisbane; just my haversack & laptop for a couple of weeks. Too many amazing streets to stroll along, colors and sights to see, vintage buildings to admire, and entertaining buskers to applaud. Liberal-minded people to talk to and be impressed by. Talents abound and magic to…

Auckland May 2013
We had a longer staycation in the capital of New Zealand where the sun sets at 5 late afternoon and it’s comfortably cold without needing heavy coats. Some visual simulation of Auckland’s big city sophistication as captured from my lenses… here we go!

hotel mulia senayan May’13
One night in Jakarta without setting foot proper in the capital is a pity, but I was sincerely too sleepy from jet lag and screwed-up cyclical body rhythms to get up from the comfortable bed. Here’s to the apparition that is me, that is not quite there in Jakarta. Hugeass room, just me and one…

[THAILAND] oo1. ISLAND AND THE CITY (Bangkok – Ko Samet)
The minute our home-bound aircraft took off, I missed Bangkok already. Even with my infected tummy hurting so badly from seafood poisoning, the land of a thousand smiles can’t shake me off. Thailand, I will be back!! The amount of insane things we did on this trip was kept to a minimal We capped it…

it doesn’t interest me…
It doesn’t interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache for, and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart’s longing. It doesn’t interest me how old you are. I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for love, for your dream, for…
