Travelling Night

My usual bag is packed, I’m ready to go. I will have travelled a fair bit over the past two months. I counted 26 flights in a little over 6 weeks and I might forget some. Even though I quite enjoy it, I am starting to feel tired lately with all those jetlags… Fortunately, once I am back in Singapore I should not fly for at least… two weeks!

Peeping Tom

I am currently staying in a furnished apartment in Jakarta. Big tower blocks. Every evening, if I happen to look out of the window, I can't help but noticing this guy, obviously living alone, naked apart from a G-string on and most importantly always having funny and suggestive poses. That is so hilarious. What really is pushing people to display themselves like this when they know you have more than 80 windows (thus potential viewers) in front of your flat? Exhibitionism?

The Bush Outfitter

I am definitely not a brand person but I must admit that every time I see an R.M. Williams store I cannot resist and I have to explore it. As a result, over the years, I have started to accumulate quite a few shirts, jackets, polos, caps and boots from the Bush Outfitter. That said, I am far from enjoying all their products and I surely wouldn’t buy any item just because of the horns.

Holidays

Ah! Holidays... One of the sweetest words in the world. I always have some plans for some forthcoming holidays. It is vital. Without any holiday plans there is no point in working and maybe no point in life! That's what keeps me going. The next side / leisure trip is in a month time. I did not feel like staying at home for Christmas so we will take a plane and find ourselves in between Phuket and Phi Phi Islands. In the meantime, I keep my reading and my websurfing busy planning holidays ahead ;-)

First Post

Hello,

Just because everyday brings its own share of surprises I thought I could start to record my daily visual memories... I usually enjoy surfing through similar blogs and finally decided to give it a go myself. It will be a tough discipline - posting a picture a day - but I am ready for the challenge. I will start tonight with Jakarta as it is my current location. A city I try not to spend too much time in as I do not particularly enjoy its traffic, pollution and 'nothing of interest to do, really' moto... As Durdou mentioned, it sometimes even bears an 'end of the world' feel, especially at sunset. That's the actual view from my balcony.
