Banteay Srei – photo gallery
While Angkor Wat is the most famous temple complex in Cambodia, there is a huge diversity of temples in the area. I think a whole week would not be enough to visit every little temple – so everybody has to…

northern Thailand – Chiang Mai
Chiang Mai is small town in northern Thailand, famous for the many activities one can do. From elephant riding, trekking, rafting, visiting the tiger zoo to enjoying the many markets and strolling the old town. And of course you cannot…
leaving Laos
This is the last photo gallery from Laos – images from Luang Prabang street life, temples and life on the river. The last pictures are taken from the airplane, leaving for Siem Reap. Previous galleries from laos can be found…
Luang Prabang in images
Here are a few more pictures from Luang Prabang. These photos were mostly taken at the different temples in Luang Prabang. For more images you can check my previous post.
Luang Prabang – Laos
For some Laos is the “real” Asia. Of course, every country is very real. From the BTS in Bangkok to the hill tribes to relaxed Laos to crazy traffic in Hanoi. Looking for the “real” Asia (re: rice fields, fastest…
Hanoi
Following the last post – and as a sign of my re-found travel itch – here are some photos took last year in Vietnam. I spent only about 5 days in Vietnam, of which 3 were in Halong Bay (I…
Bangkok
Bangkok is a very interesting city for a tourist. It is the gateway to Asia, so sooner or later everyone arrives here. Some will leave the city as quickly as possible, and some will stay longer. Besides the heat, air…
S.21
This is not going to be a cheerful post. S21 – for those who do not know – is the codename for one of the most brutal prisons, where thousands of people were tortured. It all happened when the Khmers…
a taste of things to come
Although in the last posts there were not many photos, that does not mean I took no photos. Not at all…
the last day in Paris
This Sunday I returned from the oh-too-short trip to Paris, and now I can post the last pictures from the “City of Lights”. I found it very unpleasant that the weather was great while I was in a meeting room…
iPhone dying ? I hope it’s just Monday blues…
I am now frantically searching my room for the iPhone warranty. It seems that the problems it has cannot be solved by a simple restore. Of course, what I did manage was to wipe my music and podcasts collections. Fortunately…
St Denis, Montmartre and freezing
Today was the first free day spent in Paris. After the beautiful Wednesday and Thursday, today the weather proved…uncooperative. It was extremely cold, it rained a bit, and the wind was freezing cold. This however didn’t stop me from visiting…
back in Paris – and already loving it
Maybe the fact that I left the office in a hurry, with a lot of projects left hanging incomplete, I was very stressed on the plane and when I arrived. However, first steps in Paris changed all that back to…
Bucegi covered in mists
Well, it seems that the common element between my latest mountain trips is fog. Whether it was merely a distant mysterious curtain or an enveloping mass, it never dissipated. While for admiring the landscapes it proved an annoyance, for photographic…
weekend in Piatra Craiului
I have returned from a very active weekend in Piatra Craiului, and I am still nursing my wounds. I went there with Serban and Andreea – the only people left from a larger group which slowly dissolved. The plan was…
the Nordic adventure
A long time in the making, this post tells in short the trip I took to Helsinki and Tallinn. Thanks to a pretty interesting offer from Finnair (Finnish air carrier), I started toying with the idea of visiting Finland and…
mountain climbing in Baiului
Hey – a new post in a pretty long time. Hopefully I will return to a more ‘serious’ writing schedule. For today’s bite, you can read (and of course see photos) about a daytrip to Baiului mountains. After a long…
Quechua 2seconds tent – my impressions
Last weekend I first took my new tent to the seaside, in Vama Veche. I bought it one month ago from Decathlon, and with the first occasion I tried it. Fortunately for me, yet unfortunately for testing the tent, the…
a walk in Versailles garden – part deux
As promised, this is part two of the Versailles day trip. The gardens of the castle provided huge photo opportunities. I hope you enjoy this album. And remember: there are even more photos coming soon!
Versailles – visiting the gardens
In the established tradition (he he) this is another post and photo gallery put online with a pretty big delay. I suppose people got used to seeing my travel posts long after returning home. I hope people will not complain…
