//  by Simon//  13 Comments

It was a gray and rainy day and I headed to Ginkakuji, the Silver Pavilion, a little disappointed. I had hoped for a sunny and warm day to admire one of the most famous temples of Kyoto and enjoy the gardens, but the sun was not meant to be. Thankfully the rain gave a rest when I walked along …

The People of Burma: A Photo Essay

//  by Simon//  7 Comments

Smiling kids, women at the market or working in the fields, craftsmen making lacquerware objects, monks in the streets and the temples: the people of Burma are usually gentle, often shy, still rooted to their traditions although rapidly changing, perhaps not for the better. They live in difficult conditions and often they  work very hard, included …

As the Southeast Asia Journey is Coming to an End…

//  by Simon//  5 Comments

My Southeast Asia journey is coming to an end and while I’m enjoying the last days relaxing in Pulau Perhentian, a cool island in North-Eastern Malaysia, I started thinking over the experiences of the last few weeks.

//  by Simon//  18 Comments

I wanted to give Southeast Asia another chance. I wanted it badly. This is also why I chose to visit Myanmar. I thought that a country that was isolated for so many years, keeping much of its history and traditions, would gain my heart. But it didn’t happen.
