Just after a couple of minutes cycling through the dim-lit neighbourhood outside of the old town, I entered a road running straight to An Bang beach at the far end. All around there were only vast dark fields and ponds, leaving the long road the only glowing thing except the moon. Through leaves and trunks, I saw the moon chasing behind, throwing her faint light ahead trying to catch hold of the only cyclist on the way. At a point where the road nearly met the river, suddenly seeing her twin brother flickering on the water surface, I pulled over to a halt, and there they stood looking straight at me with their brilliant smiles.
Even for those who don’t know, only a quick glance will tell you what is the state religion in Brunei. It is easy to see how monumental, yet subtle, Islamic architecture is dominating Bandar Seri Begawan. Each structure is so grand one visit is never enough, so during my 5 days staying here, I took my time to re-visit the mosques as much as possible. While you let me accompany you through this trip, I’ll tell you why.

Travelling through paintings is also a great experience. You will see the world through painters’ eyes, and it’s absolutely amazing!
You can see my paintings in the series Forgotten Souls here.
And my sketches while travelling in India here.

Thank you and have a nice day!
What will you do if you visit Hanoi? We are a historical city with many museums and monuments and old ruins, where culture and cuisine are mixed, where people from all over the country, all around the world gather, where olds lurk amongst news and traditions go well with innovation. There are plenty of things to do, to discover, and you will never find your time enough.
After a long day exploring the city, you will feel tired and think you’ll deserve to sit down on some comfortable sofa and enjoy the sunset with a cup of tea or glass of beer, but expensive things in Vietnam can be expensive even for people from developed countries, and you think you’d better go back to save money? In that case, I’ll tell you how to enjoy Hanoi’s panoramic view in a luxurious lounge with less than $5.

Though small in both size and population, Brunei is famous for its diverse ecosystem, many kinds of spices and herbs, and majestic Islamic architecture. Being an Islamic country, Brunei follows different rules and schedules that you might want to take a look before departing.
1. No alcohol sold in the country – No night-life:
If you are dreaming about a summer party on the beach with cold beer and bikinis, then Brunei is not the place. The sale of alcohol is prohibited here, so instead you can take your time to explore the wide variety of soft drink that they offer. Although non-Muslim of age over 17 may bring into the country two bottles of liquor/wine, or 12 cans of beer, if you decide to do so, just be sure not to do anything disrespectful to everyone else.
Unlike in other European countries, the information accessibility in Russia is quite limited, I recommend you to do a little research before going. Here I will share with you what I have noticed after my own trips in Sep. 2016 (to the Far East) and in Oct. 2016 (to St. Petersburg and Moscow). Hope it will help a bit.

Weather: sunny in Taipei but rainy in Jiufen, temperature around 15-20 degrees during daytime
It seems like the rain comes especially often and hard during winter, and the wind is also relatively strong on the top of the mountain, so what do you need to prepare? An umbrella will also do, I guess, but raincoat is highly recommended, especially if you want your hands free to take photos while enjoying the street food. And depends on the weather, the temperature can decrease remarkably on the top, so don’t forget a cardigan or some thin coat.
*Note: high heels, of course, are not recommended if you want to explore many deep and small alleys on top of the mountain. Mini skirts either =)) Continue reading “Jiufen (九份), Taiwan – the world of spirits”
