Chinese hawker drawing the crowds with his traditional medicines and wondrous devices to cure all ills. I love it.
Apparently the world ends now, or people want it to end, but it doesn't feel like it's ending here anyway.
A friend's visit, another chance to see Brunei all over again!
Lovely Chinese eatery
Children learning about the workings of a post office
Brunei's iconic mosque
Peaceful jungle
Sunset at the Empire Hotel
This day marks 30 years since my family arrived to Swizerland for us to start a new life. I've travelled to over 60 countries in the past few years, and the more I explore the world, the more I think Switzerland is a wonderful place. Far from perfect, but worth making an effort to preserve.
Beautiful Geneva, picture taken this spring.
Visiting palm tree plantations in Sarawak on this Earth Hour day provided for an impressive sight.
Palm tree plantations as far as the eye can see.
The fruits are picked by hand and gathered in large containers.
Palm plantations are a major part of local town life.
Incongruous sight of a scrap yard (or was it a logistics company?) on the way to Kuala Balai, with two helicopter relics perched precariously to mark the site's entrance.
A brief visit to the heaving city of Jakarta, overwhelmed with traffic, a core of luxury high rises and malls, surrounded by slums and poverty. The Big Durian indeed.
▪ Started the year in Hong Kong in good company
▪ Climbed on the top of the Borneo jungle, at Temburong's canopy walk
▪ Partied in Bali, unforgettable
▪ Discovered Japan, cherry blossom, cosplay, maid cafe, izakaya, the lot
▪ Back to Europe, fantastic time in Crimea with the Don
▪ Raw Havana with the best company
▪ Highlands adventures on the footsteps of Bruno Manser
▪ Boracay heaven, I love the Philippines!
▪ Ended the year where it started, Hong Kong got even better!
