de casa noua
Nu, nu e (inca) vorba de mine in casa noua, desi o sa fie in curand un post si despre asta. Este vorba de relocarea “virtuala” a unei bune prietene, care acum are propriul domeniu si a shiny new WordPress.…

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…
random thoughts on South-East Asia
I know some people already started to worry what’s with me – where are the posts, where are the pictures. Nothing happened – actually nothing bad happened. I’m enjoying this trip immensely, and I do not really find the time…
new adventures in Thailand
Now that I arrived in Chiang Mai, and am finally able to enjoy some nice-quality free WiFi I can write a bit more about what happened these last few days. The trip is going pretty well and my enthusiasm for…
in the land of smiles – or the furnace that I learned to love
This is not going to be a post with lots of pictures. Actually none at all. I am writing this from an Internet cafe – and thus not photo editing and sharing. For that you have to wait a bit…
time micro-management
I’m bad at it. I am leaving on Saturday and I still have no hotel reservations, no real plans, and I still have printouts from Lonely Planet lying around the house – unread… Even my passport is still at the…
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…
promotions, websites, and other news
While I still haven’t processed the last batch of photos from the Helsinki trip (the ones from the Sveaborg / Suomenlinna island), I did browse the net and found a few interesting links and newsworthy items. The great news is…
Motorhead @ B’estfest day 2
Yesterday was a great day at B’estfest. The first 2 big names at the festival – Motorhead and Moby – and the first day of the festival proper (the day before it was day 0. If you are confused by…
B’estfest first day
One word describes the first day at B’estfest: rain. Lots of it. Expanding a bit – rain, storm, thunderbolts and lightning, very very frightening…oh that’s from something else. The pouring rain was real though. Having said that, the concerts were…
blogwriter’s block
Ok, so now it’s 19 days since I last wrote on the blog. I have a few hundred photos waiting to be processed and uploaded, still a lot to write about the trip to Paris, a few interesting happenings in…
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…
