Saigon Night out

Notte a Saigon. Come sembra esotico. Come in un film di quelli di una volta, ma l’unico che mi viene in mente ora é Emmanuelle, che peró in realtá si svolge a Bankok. Va be’. Qualche sera fa ero in giro con alcuni couchsurfers, in un ristorante vietnamita italiano vegetariano, e poi in un bar, […]

Tema: descrivere Canton Svolgimento: Avete presente l’inizio del film Blues Brother con la panoramica su Chicago, il fumo, le ciminiere eruttanti smog e i grattacieli? Ecco, quella é Canton. Senza il Blues.

Hong Kong is a Science Fiction tailored suit

Beach Bum

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 […]

Hong Kong is a Science Fiction tailored suit

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. […]

Breakfast in Hong Kong

Looking at people behind the windows of a bar sipping coffe. Quite banal, isn’t it? Especially when it is a Starfucksbucks, and your breakfast is a Egg White Delice Ciabatta, whatever it means, and you’re sipping a plain flat american coffee.

Chinese girls search for taxis or any ride home. Chinese girls wear mini skirts and short very short […]

Berlin

Berlin is on the list of likely destination for working after this trip. I would prefer to stay in Barcelona, but if the condition are not the ones I want, I am prepared to sell myself to some other country willing to pay me. So it could be Berlin, or London again (me not very […]

5 Towns I think I love

Following an hint from a post from Peter Moore, one of my preferred travel writer, I listed my top loved 5 town. Of course the list could be longer, but I did not travel enough, so for now, here they are: 1. Barcelona Barcelona is summer blues. is barbeque smell on the roofs, is cerveza […]
