Ambulando

I can remember the first time I had papadum. It was at a crazy flat party in Cardiff thrown from some Indian guys that spent part of the night frying them for us to gulp beer and what other spirits were available on a prepared stomach. Plain papadom spicy and no sauce with it. Greasy […]

Travelling overland in Asia is not joke. You can choose between 5 kinds of train ticket, 6 if you consider the luxury options, but I do not. Soft seats with air conditioning: actually like our new European train, the bus-type one, with no compartments, not fully reclinabled, supposed to be modern and more confortable but […]

Dear sweet lady How are you? What are you up recently? When you will receive my letter, I hope to be still on the road. Here in Hanoi it is quiet and peaceful, as a way of saying. Sometimes it is looks like a holiday, especially this few days we got of free rambling around […]

I read books, I try to live them up

Topic: describe Guangzhou Composition: do you remember the starting scenes of the movie Blues Brothers with the pan on Chicago, with the smog, the chimneys and the skyscrapers? Well, that is Guangzhou. Without the Blues.

Today I had to use a VPN from Italy to access a website. Till now I did it just in China.

Necessity is the mother of invention. But sometime boredom helps too. Some weeks ago I read on WIRED magazine an article on a website that was giving the opportunities to people to present their idea and maybe get sponsor to realize it. Unfoortunately at the moment I cannot find the url of the website, but […]

(un)grateful friend

Changing look is like moving furniture in a room. When you cannot move yourself, you change your nearest space to keep the sensation of moving.

I spent the day at the beach today, getting a strip burnt and looking at the sea from the roof of a bar. I should avoid such moments. They are expensive, emotionally and financially. Cannot live like in a holiday all my life. At least trying to get from A to B looks more like […]

HK could be everyplace. Imagine Beijing, cum New York, cum London, cum Johannesburg, cum Mumbay. Chiba city does exist in Kowloon, under the name of Chungking Mansion. Still I could not find any retractable steel razors to be implanted under my nails and when I asked for a mono-molecular lazo, I was given puzzled looks. […]
