Gorges du Verdon is located in the South of France, around 100 km away from Nice. For those who wonder what a gorge is (like I do), a gorge is a deep ravine craved out by a river over a long time. To experience the gorges is best by car. The scenic route we took [...]

A Productive Day At St-Tropez, St-Paul-de-Vence, And More
October 18th, 2010 2 Comments
Although I do enjoy writing travel journals, as the chapter draws towards the end, it often gets more tedious. Historically, Cynthia and I become more productive towards the end of a holiday. Perhaps we are more used to the holiday rhythm. Or perhaps since we often cover the cultural aspect of the trip before the [...]

With a blink of an eye one month has passed since I have written an article for our recent trip to France. So much have happened in the last one month. We have visited Hong Kong. There has been a good lineup of blogger events. Our Spanish class has moved up one level. My reading [...]

Lamma Island, Hong Kong – A Short Trek Between The Villages Of Yung Shue Wan And Sok Kwu Wan
September 26th, 2010 7 Comments
This post is dedicated to my buddy Alex in Hong Kong for making our short trip so much more colorful. Thank you buddy! We shall arrange a trip to visit Macau some time in the not so far future, preferably one that coincides with a concert of a superstar (read: Ayumi Hamasaki). We have visited Lamma Island [...]

Day 5 To Versailles And The French Were On Strike
September 11th, 2010 No Comments
I can understand the philosophy behind the action of the unions calling upon the workers to go on strike as a form of protest against certain unfavorable policies. This time, it was something to do with the pension fund policy in France. On one hand, I am pleased to see workers coming together to achieve [...]

Sacre-Coeur And Montmartre, Pompidou Centre And Eiffel Tower
September 4th, 2010 No Comments
I am not a big fan of Eiffel Tower. But when we visited France, I had one mission in mind: To take a photograph of Eiffel Tower that is seldom seen before. I think I have somewhat achieved that. There is some deeper connotation with regards to how this photo is composed. But I shall [...]

Day 3 And We Went Up The Towers Of Notre-Dame
August 29th, 2010 2 Comments
Finally, the blue sky appeared on the third day of our holiday. We switched from museum crawling to monument crawling. If I am to pick one place in Paris I love to hang out the most, that has to be the two islands – Ile de la Cité and Ile St-Louis – in the center of [...]

First Two Days In Paris Was Colder Than We’d Anticipated
August 15th, 2010 No Comments
Time flies. If I don’t get started documenting our travel journal, year 2011 may hit me before I know it. June this year, we have visited France. Like our trip to Spain last year, I am going to publish an article every weekend, until I run out of materials. I am familiar with Paris. When [...]

Wilfrid The Paparazzi, At Volcano “Kawah Putih” (Bandung South)
November 29th, 2009 9 Comments
There are many reasons to process the photos not long after the trip. First, viewers are sharp. They may ask why this set of photos is not as good as the previous set. Second, some people may look thinner or … erm … quite the opposite then than now. Especially after one long year. Third, [...]

This Is The End Of The Spain Holiday Series
September 19th, 2009 8 Comments
I wish I could save the best for the last. But my favorite photo album is still the journal of the previous day. Followed by the “Jelly Fish” post that some of my friends refer to. The writing of this set of journal have been one helluva journey. A total of more then 22,000 words [...]
