Home & Abroad

Christmas in the City

With lots of rain and rather cool temperatures Christmas 2014 in Singapore was as “christmassy” as it gets in the Tropics. While Orchard Road as usual showcased thousand of lamps, stars and other decoration inciting shoppers to get in x-mas mood, Gardens by the Bay featured a Winter Wonderland… conveying […]
That’s me

Until today, I had yet to write a post about me… therefore, let me introduce: I’m Caroline. I’m from Liechtenstein. I live abroad, but consider it home. I could try to write a philosophical essay about ‘home’ and ‘abroad’ and the different feelings attached to these places, questioning if you can feel […]
Street portraiture in Chiang Mai

This second trip to Chiang Mai brought me close to the nature, architecture and people of Northern Thailand. The long weekend started off with the festive and special atmosphere of Loi Krathong, Chiang Mai’s yearly Lantern Festival. Watching thousands of candles floating on the river and lanterns in the sky creates a very picturesque […]

Off the beaten track

The following is a story of great adventure, new discoveries and strange encounters … at least as much as you can expect in nowadays Singapore ;-). On this Saturday afternoon we set off to discover the far west of Singapore, a region until now completely unknown to me. We started […]

Dolce Vita in Down Under

G’day to my blog post about a six day trip to West Australia in early September 2014. It was a very ‘sensual’ trip, literally covering all senses: beautiful landscapes for the eyes, radio music for the ears, wonderfully cooked food to smell, wine to taste, and alternatingly wind and sun […]
Coastal highlights

Having chosen early spring (beginning of September 2014) for our trip to West Australia meant oftentimes quickly changing weather conditions. Whilst I experienced that lacking sun may cause pictures of coast lines look dull, I remembered an article in one of my photo magazines at home, recommending to shoot such […]
Surprises in Vietnam

The holidays in Central Vietnam in July 2014 were full of surprises…less so for you reading this post, but more for myself. I have actually spent more than two days at the beach and was not bored! Having spent time with my sister, her husband and their two kids surely […]

Sporty Architecture

Singapore is probably more famous for architecture than sports. Now, there exists however a place which combines these two elements in a great way. In June 2014 the all new Singapore Sports Hub has opened its doors and revealed some stunning architecture. Foremost, the National Stadium with its retractable roof. […]
