I remember this good friend i met while traveling in the north of Laos asking me in a funny way what was it that i enjoyed the most of not having a permanent address, i laughed first, then the first thought that came to my mind was simply the pleasure of living on a timeless zone for the most part, not knowing if it is tuesday or saturday, Sunday or Thursday, 3 o'clok or 11:30, the fact is that putting chronological time on my days takes the fun out of them, somehow in the past, i recall developing some conditioned ways of behaving and thinking according to the day and time it was; i used to dislike Sundays very much for being the typical church plus soccer madness days, but sundays were sundays nothing wrong with ... read more

Malaysia with no doubt surprised me specially after sleeping between buses & trains during 3 days coming all the way from the little hill tribe village in the North of Thailand where i was living & studying massage to this multi-cultural overwhelming city populated by Malays, Chinese & Indians to say the least because there's many many more ethnicities that undoubtedly add up to the flavor of this country...compared to the other countries i visited in South East Asia, it somehow felt that this place remained quite undiscovered and that the majority of travelers (including myself) used it only as a quick stop over to jump to the next destination.... Anyways, there is about 1.5 million people living here, first thing that stroke me when entering the city on the bus was the huge architectural monuments ... read more

....It's been two weeks since i left Vientiane and moved up north to Luang Prabang, something was telling me that i had to come back to this magical place....I don't know if it is the stunning glittery wats, the orange robed monks walking in the streets holding their black umbrellas, the colorful nightly hmong tribe market selling Lao textiles, colorful mulberry paper lamps, traditional medicine (like cobra snakes in bottles for Reumatism), the shuttered mansions along the old streets or the fact that this old city is between two beautiful rivers "Nam Khan & Mekong" filled with plenty of coconut palm trees and fisherman, this place has an enchanting atmosphere.... This is my second time in Luang Prabang, everything tastes so much better now, i took things a lot easier as i was recovering from a ... read more
