These are the last photos from Bruxelles, a mix of black & white and color photography. As usual I am way behind in posting the photos from my trip (nothing new here). I hope you enjoy all these pictures, and…

Palenque – braving the tropical heat
Im writing this before boarding the bus for Tulum. Another long night bus ride – 11 hours at least – ahead of me. The good part – I get to process some photos, write a bit – before and ON…
Oaxaca – photo gallery
It is said that a picture is worth a thousand words…so this post should be like a small novel.
Ciudad de Mexico – impressions
Ciudad de Mexico is…. the smell of delicious food – tortas, burritos, quesadilla, and so many more which I intend to try music – everywhere I can hear a band playing – from love songs to spanish rock colonial buildings…
lost in translation – again
Last weekend I went to Otaku 2010. Looking extremely confused at the different activities – from cosplay, drawing, console gaming – I tried to think for a reason why I am going to these events. The only reason I found…
village life near Bran castle
2 weeks ago I went to a trip near Bran Castle with some work colleagues. Fun experience, and some photographic opportunities presented themselves. Almost everyone had already seen the castle, so we skipped it (however for someone who is in…
lost in translation
I found these photos I took last year at a manga / gaming convention. It was a really eerie experience – I could not recognize even one anime playing, nor console games played. The only familiar things were Warhammer 40k…
Tonle Sap – the lake village
Tonle Sap is the largest freshwater lake in South-East Asia. As it sustains a lot of wildlife and small communities it’s a great place to visit once you get “templed out”. After the amazing temples of Angkor a change feels…
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 – 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…
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…
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…
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…
