Best way to survive the Shanghai winter ... escape for a few days to a warmer place! 6 days in Hong Kong is definitely the right answer to it! Long week end of partying with friends ... and no ... you are not gonna see any pictures of those ... hahaha :-) Had an amazing time, the best ever in Hong Kong actually! Guess the person I was with did make this week end absolutely memorable... Long nights, exploring Hong Kong from Kclub to Russian bars and finally down to some local bars...see the sun rise every single morning and keep [View Full Entry]

Tram local style!

HK and PRC Flag ...united

So, here we go! Second stop in KL, more amazing food but as well lots of sightseeing which I didn’t have much time for during the first stop! Kuala Lumpur is really surprising with its unique cultural diversity, mix of local, Chinese and Indians. When walking around, you feel like traveling around Asia and not just in one city. The first stop of this journey took us to the central market and allowed us to experience the subway, first hand! A bit confusing, ended up in a bus but finally made it to the central market and the area of China [View Full Entry]

A few days to escape the Shanghai winter...35 degrees in Malaysia :-) loved it! From the streets of Kuala Lumpur to cherating for some sun, sport & beach! Early morning wake up, short shopping stop over in KL and here we are…welcome to Cherating! Ok...it is nearly midnight but the pool is fantastic and drinks are waiting for us…so, eh you live only once! Quick room check in, change to swim suit and we were already heading to the pool and its bar where the rest of the group had already ordered some drinks for us, As you can guess, any [View Full Entry]

A day in Suzhou...

 Asia » China » Jiangsu » Suzhou
Also known as the 'Oriental Venice', Suzhou is an amazing place to chill out and escape from Shanghai for a day...world renowned gardens and amazing street life...what else..well, it is still China so nothing ever really goes accordingly to what you have planed...hahaha ! Went out to Bar Rouge the night before (for a change, some would say!! hahaha), party until late and we all waked up quite late on the Saturday, rush to the train station, managed to get ticket (one way...as usual too..which mean we would have to queue on arrival to get the return ticket...) Suzhou is really [View Full Entry]

Nap time, chinese style
color of hapiness!

Let’s take a journey back in time… Xitang is one of the ancient water towns in the south of the Yangtze River which beauty lies in its simple, unadorned appearance and lack of tourists! (compared to Zhouzhuang, the other famous water town) Many stores and houses are built on the riversides, the river being in many ways the main road... So, you naturally follow it, protected by covered corridors, walking by ancient houses, tiny shops and tea house where time has stop a while ago... Food street is as surprising as this town, might not look very pleasing at first, but [View Full Entry]

not fishing if you are wondering...but collecting the garbage (much less poetic...)

Been many times to Thailand but this trip is definitly the most memorable of all! Nathalie joined me for this adventure tour that took us from Bangkok to Krabi and PhiPhi for some scuba diving followed by more adventure in Chiangmai...trecking, biking, elephant riding and white water rafting! love it .... Pictures speak by themselves !!! [View Full Entry]

Relax time!
Morning in PhiPhi...
Koh Phi Phi

That was a long long journey…Shanghai - Chicago - Miami - Buenos Aires - Bariloche… couldn’t even feel the jet lag anymore…anyway, here we are! Welcome to Llao Llao a beautiful lodge that lies by Nahuel Huapi lake, amidst woods and overlooking the andes, right in the middle of Patagonia. After a stunning dinner during which we enjoyed our first beef tenderloin with some Argentinean malbec and a short but good night of sleep, we were ready for one of the highlight of our trip in Argentina: let’s go rafting near the Chilean border… Well…the trip starts with a two hours [View Full Entry]

Cairns - by the sea...
I better listen carrefully....
Mt Buller - back on the ski!

Sorry for the delay...Many of you have been waiting for this blog but here it is !!! Palau is one of the most extraordinary diving spots in the world for many divers but not so many had the chance to really experience diving there...Not much flight to reach the capital Koror (2 per week from Manilla and few others through Guam), a huge area to cover that make day trip quite frustrating (if you are a real diving adicted) and only a few liveaboards (some of them you truly do not want to experience...) For the non divers, Palau and the [View Full Entry]
