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…
Ieri a fost lansat noul magazin online Orange. Pe langa cateva functionalitati noi si un design cred eu reusit, a fost lansat si un “challenge” pentru oricine vrea sa faca o sugestie, sa atraga atentia asupra unui bug sau a…
As most of you already know my short holiday to Paris came to an end on last Sunday. Although now I am back to Romania, you should still expect to receive short bits on Paris and most importantly pictures from…
Update: long-awaited gallery is here! In last post I made some mentions about the open-air market in “place de la Bastille”. Unfortunately I do not think that I had any picture showing this market. This is going to change now.…
This is the second post in the series about sights in China which I did not have the time to write about when I was still in there. The first post was Along the Great Wall – a description of…
Before I write a more consistent blog post, probably with some photos as well, I wanted to share these 3 short video clips I had around. The quality is not great, but they are somewhat interesting. prayer wheel at the…
Well, all good things must come to an end. Tomorrow at 11:40am I have a flight for Amsterdam then Bucharest. And I do not really hate the fact that I will fly for almost 19 hours (huge layover in Amsterdam)…
This is the second part of the post I have written regarding moving around in Shanghai, Beijing and in-between. If you are more interested about the trains and planes you can get to get from city to city you should…
This post could be about the huge crowds in Shanghai, or it could be about a beautiful evening spent in a exclusive restaurant on the Bund. It could even be about the nice art gallery at 3 on the Bund.…
In case you are wondering what the hell is that in the title, it is the name of a small water village near Shanghai. These are old villages that now survive in large part on the buses full of visitors…
This short post is going to be a mere continuation of Lost in Shanghai, mostly bringing a few more pictures. Yesterday, because of the very late hour I couldn’t complete the photo album, so now this can be seen as…
As I wrote in a previous post, last night was to be spent on the train from Beijing to Shanghai. And this is exactly what happened. I traveled “soft sleeper” and slept like a baby. Or a tourist who walks…
Well, tomorrow I am leaving Beijing to go to Shanghai. I am already panicked that I missed a lot of the sights – some really beautiful like the Summer Palace, some just for the experience of it like Mao’s pickled…
Today brings you a largish set of photos from an excursion to the Temple of Heaven. This is a very nice temple in southeastern Beijing, with different pagodas, pavilions and gardens scattered on a pretty big area. While it is…
This post, until I put my brain back on track, is going to be a mix of impressions and thoughts regarding Beijing. It also has some photos, but there is no real connection. Just something for everyone. So, without further…
Still fighting an awesome jetlag, I try to post a bit more on what I did yesterday. Also this time – there are some photos. Taking up where I left in the previous post – at the hostel. I am…
Today I will try to catch up with last two days events – mostly arriving to Beijing and first day spent here wondering at the strangeness of this city. But first things first: the flight from Bucharest to Amsterdam (by…
I finally managed to setup my laptop to also use my Philips LCD, and Lightroom is pretty happy with this change. Now I can enjoy multi-monitor features – and the truth is that it is a pretty nice improvement. I…
This entry comes two weeks late. It is the last (hopefully) batch of photos from Spain which I did not process. One of the last days in Madrid I spent going on a day trip to Aranjuez. This is a…
Different to most of my posts, this one has nothing to do with photography or travel. I just felt the need to share my impressions and feelings after reading the Twilight series, by Stephenie Meyer. Some people already know my…
