Bali – hello again!

April 2017 Shortly after our Taiwan holiday we went for another family trip. This time however to an already familiar place: Ubud, Bali. We spent a few relaxing days with my sister-in-law and her partner in a beautiful villa situated in a lush green environment, only a few minutes from […]
European Winter

February 2016 Whereas I love to go back to Europe in summer to enjoy the long days, I also quite like to go back in winter. There is definitely less chance for sun, but it offers a welcome change from the ever same temperatures we have here in the tropics. This […]
Muddy Waters

Today, we visited the Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve , a place I wanted to see for a while already. I don’t know why we did not made it there earlier … maybe because I considered it too far?! (I mean not really far, but as far as it gets within […]

Cityscapes of China’s northeast

For our recent trip to Tianjin and Dalian in China’s northeast I did not leave with the expectation of taking pictures with a deep blue sky as China’s cities are known for their high level of air pollution. And I was proven right: Although the pollution was not terrible, the […]

Along the Green Rail Corridor

Last Sunday I took part in the Green Corridor Run, a unique and beautiful 10.5km run that starts at the historic Tanjong Pagar Rail Station and winds its way along the green corridor to finish at the old Bukit Timah Rail Station. The Green Corridor is a stretch of greenery […]
Eerily beautiful and abandoned

The setting of a book I have recently read (“Crazy Rich Asians”) is a huge and extravagant palace in the middle of Singapore. After some searches on Internet I found that the author must have got his inspiration from an indeed existing place! It is Istana Woodneuk, a mansion that […]

Back to square one

Hong Kong is the place I have first set foot in Asia. Almost five years ago, my partner and I have spent two days and one sleepless night in Hong Kong. It was my very first experience on the Asian continent and I was instantly fascinated from this whole new […]
