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 [...]

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 [...]

2010 SingTel F1 Grid Girls Crowning Party – A Media Event
September 17th, 2010 10 Comments
What a great media event! I mean, fast cars and pretty women should go side by side with one another. I am an avid fan of Formula One and have been watching every single match on TV. Singapore circuit is special. Not only because it is a night race, an anti-clockwise circuit, but also because [...]

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 [...]

It’s Time Of The Moon Again
December 4th, 2009 10 Comments
Last evening, returned home from a lovely dinner gathering with Symantec, Cynthia was already in bed. I opened the window, cool air greeted my face. As I extended my vision from near to far, from the golf course on the other side of the reservoir to the pitch-dark sky, I saw a bright dot. It [...]
