Favorite Places and People
As a color aficionado like me, I always love Missoni. And my personal encounter with the brand was actually at Milan three years ago when I visited their showroon during the Salone del Mobile period. The boutique was turned into a space for colorful installations. It’s like a universe of prints, patterns and colors in […]
Just a rustic 200-meters long flower lane and It could make me tremble with excitement. The flower corner at Honiara’s central market was pure joy. Just walk past the busy fresh market and then you will find it hidden in a corner. I don’t know where these tropical flowers come from. People there don’t plant […]
I can claim that this series of photos are the most colorful images of Narathiwat you have ever seen. Try google Narathiwat and you will know. In Thailand, the Deep South has been considered the gloomiest and the most dangerous place because of the ongoing ‘insurgencies’ for decades. But strangely enough, it was in this […]
Funny how life treats us. In one month, I have been to Hua Hin for 3 times. All for work, two of which were one day trips. Just for this last time that I had a chance to stay over for, like, one night. Personally, Hua Hin is not always my go-to choice. It is […]
Research shows that being near water has some kind of magic to calm you down, but that is not the case for Amphawa. Known for the city of floating markets, the Amphawa river can be called one of the busiest rivers on earth. I went there just ten 10 minutes and I can feel like […]
On the first of October 2017, a random guy with a knife walked into Marseille’s Saint Charles train station and stabbed two women to death. The attacker was later shot by French soldiers. He died on the spot. That was two weeks before my trip to Marseille. I didn’t know about this incident at all, […]
Entering the Zero Decibel exhibition by Suntur, a pair of earplugs was handed out to me. The concept was great enough, enough to prime my perception that from then on, all I hear was silence, even the exhibition space was actually covered by light, melancholic tones of music. I didn’t know Suntur before. I heard […]
Out of this world 😊 (@sandylamu & @discoverlamu)
It can be said that 2017 was the “Doha” year for me. Thanks to my job, I was lucky enough to join two trips with Qatar Airways, and both trips we had a stopover in Doha, the Qatari capital, and I was so amazed by how they did it. In the middle of nowhere in […]
I cannot remember how exactly I came to know Arianna Caroli. I remember that I went with my boss to interview her 10 years ago and she danced. Arianna’s signature style is the floral paintings with gold. Her works are so powerful that you cannot help but falling in love with them all. For two […]
It’s funny that my friends like to tell me that I have a weird taste in travel, and my boyfriend calls me an ‘orientalist’, which I’m not quite sure what that means. what I know is that I like to go to the lesser-known, the covered parts of this world, seeing new things, having new […]
Feel like getting away at the end of the world? The Brando in Teti’aroa, French Polynesia seems to be the perfect place to be. And as you can guess from the name, it’s the property of Marlon Brando.
