This city living from tourism in Southern China is suppose to have excellent climbing. During summer you can forget climbing because of the daily showers. Instead you can always walk around or rent a bike and snap some pics and meet great people. Plenty of things to see if you are into exploring caves safely [...]
I left Vietnam behind with a bitter taste in my mouth. Too many people to my taste were rude and dishonest to me. It is only afterwards that my memories of the place lightened up. I started going through my photos of the country and realized there were actually lots of good moments as well. [...]
I was somewhere around Butterworth of the edge of the northern border when the drugs began to take hold of me. Once you start having a serious drug collection it’s hard to let go of the habit.

Jalan Jalan means ruffly “just walking”.
Banana leaf rice was delicious. I gave it a go. Result was sickness and weight loss. Next time El Super Transparente thinks twice before trying to devour an exotic fruit in a city. Don’t tread durian as dessert but as main course. And choose wisely. I chose not to choose wise. I chose something else. [...]
Today my whole body from brain to muscles started malfunctioning and it wasn’t because of big waves, infection or muggers. It was because of money. While cruising around New Zealand the single biggest and most stressful thing seemed to be overnight parking. Every town and city and district has it’s own policies. Actually over night [...]
