These past couple of weeks have been pretty cool and a lot better than the end of my summer. I've been traveling a bit and enjoying life.<br />
One of the places I got to visit was Tulou. It is located in the southeast part of China. You have to get to Nanjing and then take a taxi from there for two hours to arrive at this UNESCO preserved area.<br />
This cluster is important because there aren't many clusters together. A lot of the circular buildings are spread out.<br />

As soon as I arrived there, I was greeted by these ladies doing their evening dance exercises. This is a ritual done throughout China. One can actually go to every city and experience something like this after 7 p.m.<br />

Wanna make God laugh? Tell him your plans. Well, my plans for the future A, B, and option C have all fallen apart. However, when life gives you lemons you have to make lemonade.<br />
This summer I was going to purchase an apartment in Trieste. However, through continuous damaging decisions, my girlfriend and I are no longer a couple.<br />

Feeling like I had given all of myself to the relationship, I've taken some time to regroup and try to be myself again.<br />
It had been a rough outing there for a while. After the collapse of the relationship, work got a little crazy and I almost quit everything.<br />
However, I have persevered.<br />

I will admit, the chance of not owning a place in Trieste does disappoint me a bit. Not only did I spend a year researching, saving money, and spending a large part of my time and money going back, it all seems like a waste.<br />
However, I really enjoyed staying there. I really have nothing but good things to say about the city and its people.<br />

I will continue to save and maybe sometime in the next 5 years, I will buy a place here. At least I hope to do so. :-)Robfactoryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07220895650223751599noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8376467135803068399.post-46726692822284344352019-07-12T16:36:00.001-04:002019-07-12T16:43:00.058-04:00Trieste, Italy<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I'm back in Trieste for the second time. This time with a purpose... to purchase an apartment. The city is nice and small. Only 250,000 people in this city in the northern part of Italy. This is in compare contrast to the place I live in now, which has 24 million people.<br />

Getting to know this city which border Austria, Serbia and Croatia has been a lot of fun. First, they don't speak Italian. In Trieste, they speak Triestini. It is a dialect based on Italian, Spanish, Latin, and languages from neighboring countries.<br />
I couple of times I've said, "oh, I don't speak Italian" and they have responded with, "haha, me too!"<br />
I find the language a bit easier to understand than Italian. The accent actually reminds me of Spaniard Spanish. I am able to pick up a lot of it.<br />
However, when it comes to communicating. It is harder than listening.<br />

Apartment hunting has turned out one interesting place. No, it's not the coliseum, but a place that's in between the middle of where all the action is and the entrance to the city. However, for my understanding, not the best place for us to buy and rent, which I don't understand. Based on what I've seen, the place is actually central to nice shops and 10-15 mins walking distance from the good stuff (museums, bars, downtown, busses, and 15-20 from the train station.<br />

Either way, enough about my situation... let's enjoy some more of the city. They have 2 massive ports in the city. Trieste's original name actually means Port City. From my readings and news, the town is actually set on becoming a major port for China into Europe.<br />
This will bring a large amount of property investment from Chinese businessmen. It'll be interesting to see how that works since Trieste is not built to be a city of millions or in fact hundreds of thousands. It is actually dealing with a bit of modernization as it is. At an "Italian pace".<br />

The city is actually pretty welcoming. I don't exactly look like a local. In fact, I don't look like a local anywhere. However, they have taken to make me feel comfortable. Everywhere I go, they have spoken Spanish or English to communicate. Though I must admit, they prefer English, which kind of saddened me, because their language is so much closer to Spanish than they imagine.<br />

One thing, from a city that is right on the coast, I expected a lot nicer of a beach. In fact, you can skip this place if you're looking for one of those Italian Instagram beaches.<br />

If you do stop by, you have to stop by Piazza Bacaran at night. Well, after 6pm. It becomes a hotspot for people to gather and have a drink. You'll meet people from all walks of life here. It's also a place to skip on the tourist traps and enjoy Trieste.<br />

Sapa is one of the most beautiful yet, saddest places I've been in a while. The lady above was our guide. She showed us around the village and surrounding places during our trek.<br />
We stayed at an eco lounge that has the most amazing views of the valley.<br />

This photo is of the view outside my balcony. It's pretty high up. It took us a while to get to the Eco Lodge in Sapa. The people here were quite nice and they had lovely dogs and cats. They were actually pretty friendly and kind.<br />
We actually fell in love with one of the dogs, Fifi.<br />

Though the place was nice and the service was really great, there were mice. This is something I'm not really used to. The mice could only be heard in the evenings. I feel this is one reason a lot of people came in and out of the lodge.<br />

This is perhaps the smartest dog I've ever met. During our trek, he followed us through hills, climbs and even around other dogs. I've never met or seen a dog so astute as this one. At one point though, he left when were went across town. I guess he has found some people who were a lot more interesting than us.<br />

There's just so much beauty in this shot. As a person who has traveled the world and seen many things, the face this girl has while playing with a plastics bag is just priceless.

The same can be said about these kids playing together. Today kids are glued to a screen a cry when they have to move or do something. These kids actually enjoy being outside and communicating with one another. It actually reminds me of my youth in many ways.<br />

After our trek around the area, we decided to go back home and enjoy the food at the eco-lodge where we stayed.<br />
The next day we worked a little and relaxed. We also got to see the kittens play and it was nice to just relax.<br />

One of the saddest things I've seen is little kids being taken out of school so that they can make a living for their parents. I thought this was just so WRONG! If you are ever there, please do not purchase anything from the children in the streets.<br />

Asides from this, there are a lot of artisanal trinkets and items of clothing you can purchase. Their prices are affordable and the people I encountered were very nice and kind.<br />
I would definitely recommend Sapa as a destination worth visiting.Robhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05320140862771954958noreply@blogger.com0Sa Pa, Lao Cai, Vietnam22.3363608 103.8437851999999622.277616300000002 103.76310419999996 22.3951053 103.92446619999996tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8376467135803068399.post-79703811583308002372019-04-05T13:00:00.000-04:002019-04-05T13:00:16.408-04:00Hoi An, Vietnam<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

Vietnam has always fascinated me. My dad was there in the '70s and he never really spoke about it. It has always been this untouchable place to me.<br />
<br />
We were fortunate enough to stay during the Vietnamese New Years "Tet," and next to the main street where the festivities would be taking place.<br />
The main street is full of bars and restaurant with night street vendors. It is the definition of a tourist trap, but a nice one.<br />

There are a lot of leather goods being sold in the night markets, that as well as foods, and souvenirs. The prices are not too bad. A lot more affordable than in Western countries.<br />
<br />
The first hotel we stayed at was ok. To be honest, the<a href="https://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Review-g298082-d12606212-Reviews-Sunset_Hoi_An_Hotel-Hoi_An_Quang_Nam_Province.html" target="_blank"> Sunset Hoi An Hotel</a> is a bit dated. The only thing that made it good was the location. However, we were moved to 3 different rooms due to issues. The first issue was the loud noise. The second room had a broken water heater and AC. The last room was finally perfect, but we didn't expect to stay until the new year there.<br />
However, the last hotel we stayed at was pretty awesome. It was recently built and next to the canal. They had coffee tasting event as well as artisanal activities. The <a href="https://www.agoda.com/vinh-hung-riverside-resort/hotel/hoi-an-vn.html" target="_blank">Vinh Hung Riverside Resort</a> was a big contrast to the Sunset Hotel. Their buffet was really nice and they even provided a service to the main street via water. There were only 2 downsides to this hotel. 1. They didn't rent scooters and didn't really know where to recommend you. 2. It wasn't on the main street. However, the second one can also be a plus.<br />

I'd say if you don't mind the walk and the exclusivity feel of the place then stay at Vihn. I'm used to traveling on the cheap. I don't mind much if a place looks run down as long as they provide good service, there are no roach and rats, and it is ideally located. That's the reason Sunset was appealing. However, for a couple of dollars more Vihn is an easy upgrade in everything.<br />
<br />
Either way, if you like leather good and street food, Vietnam is generally a good place to visit. Hoi An has the old streets, the people, and it is beautifully kept. Its street colors are very bright and beautiful.<br />
<br />
It's a town that survives based on tourism. We drank a lot of Vietnamese coffee, which is iced Vietnam coffee with condensed milk. It is so bad for the health, but so delicious.<br />
<br />
There are a couple of touristic places around the area. There are various temples to visit and a nice beach not too far away on a scooter.<br />

My advice would be to stay in the old town area. Rent a scooter and explore the city. Also, take the scooter out of the city and visit the near towns. We used our Google Maps to get around and it was so nice to get "lost" in the adjacent towns and see things we wouldn't have experienced otherwise.<br />
We headed south on the scooter and saw massive rice field and developing towns in the midst of transforming from old to modern. It was really cool to witness.<br />

One of the main things to do is take one of these boats around the canal. To me it seems like a waste of money. It just goes around for like 7 minutes and drops you off. I'm a frugal traveler so it might seem like a cool thing to do to others.<br />

Another cool thing about this place the that it was one of the first places Japan traders visited back in the day. So Japan had a big impact in this area. There is even a monument to celebrate the friendship between the countries.<br />
The bridge below is part of the history between the two countries.<br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">On this trip, I've decided to test a couple of products. The last trip throughout Europe I tested a <b>Kathmandu</b> Merino Wool shirt. This time around</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> </span>I'm<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">trying a couple of <b>Boundary Supply</b> products. These include the <b>Prima Backpack</b> and the <b>EXM Port 6 Liters</b>, the hemp compression travel bag (for dirty clothes) Apex Logo Shirt (Navy Blue), and the <b>Environ Merino</b> Shirt (Green). </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">First of, the bag is one of the most comfortable bags I've ever worn. It breathes easily on my back and I don't feel myself having massive amounts of sweat dripping down my back. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The layout is simple and there are various pockets and compartments in the bag to secure just about anything. </span><br />

The one on the right is an elastic mesh/net that is open on the top. I would have added a velcro system because anything in there falls out. The one on the right is awesome and zips up. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">If you are a hobby photographer or someone who walks around with one or two lenses then this camera bag is perfect. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">There are various pockets and a divider for your camera gear. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It also expands for long lenses. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">You can wear it on your hip or as a sling bag. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">However, if you're like me and you have more than 2 lenses, a dust blower, and ND filters, this bag will not do. At least not comfortably. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">On this trip, I decided to bring it and use the bag as it is intended. However, I've mostly used it as a lens protector and camera gear holder. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I also brought my other walking around cheap photo bag. I found non-Boundary Supply bag perfect for my daily use in this trip. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">According to <b>Boundary Supply</b>, they "constructed (the shirts) using our custom developed DRIwool fabric, 86% moisture wicking Polyester/ 11% Merino Wool / 3% Spandex." </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">To call a shirt Merino Wool would imply to me that it would be more wool than synthetic fabrics. I have worn Merino wool shirts and they tend to be a lot lighter in weight than Boundary Supply shirts. However, after a week of wearing the dark blue shirt during the daytime, I can attest to the fabric blend having similar results to Merino Wool. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I found the shirt to be too long. Long enough to consider getting it tailored. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">However, this is a preference of mine. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I wish the bag had an expanding middle section to make it larger rather than purchasing more compartments at a large expense. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I would have liked the AUX Compartment to be available and fit the Prima System. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">The first leg of the trip review:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Shirts do their job and performance is equal to wool. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Prima Backpack is built well and comfortable. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Built-in camera compartment is ok for me but perfect for my girlfriend who has only 2 lenses at a time with her. </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Update: 2/19/2019</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I've added 2 more shirts to the bag. We found a little shop outside a store that had ridiculous discounts on linen shirts. I'm not much of a consumer while traveling, but it was too good of a deal.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Everything fits fine. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I'm trying to use it as much as I can. The fact that it can be used on the hip or as a shoulder camera bag is very useful. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">However, I've had to do a couple of adjustments. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">1. No ND filters</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">2. Only 2 lenses (Sony 16-35 SEL1635Z and Tamron 28-75mm F/2.8)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Everything else fit a bit snug, but it fits. </span><br />

Pattaya is a very interesting place. A bit like a bunny ranch gone on steroids. Sex shows and anything sex is just about for sale.<br />
<br />
Once you get past the ladies, the ladyboys, and all sex. Pattaya is actually a nice place to relax and enjoy life. I saw a couple of retired Westerners who had a cheap apartment in the city and were just enjoying their last days.<br />

I must admit, the lights and the easy life do have their charm. I'm at an age where I will have to (in a couple of years) start thinking about where to next. However, does this city appeal to me?<br />

Certain parts do, but it's not for me. The food and the people were kind where ever we went. The only issue we had was with a motor taxi charging us double when we had not originally agreed to that. However, it was so little that we didn't protest too much.<br />

Overall, Pattaya is a place meant on being a playground for those who view certain activities as fun. For those who have a family, you can skip this place or at least certain parts of it. Especially, a place like the Walking Street.<br />
For those who want to explore, take photos, get to see things that are not common to your area, then Pattaya can be appealing.Robfactoryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07220895650223751599noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8376467135803068399.post-6321915605024142252018-11-07T22:10:00.000-05:002018-11-07T22:10:00.932-05:00Yangon, Myanmar<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Yangon in Myanmar is a beautiful place. In the West, you hear about the constant battles the government is faced with its people, but the month south you go, the fewer people seem to be affected by it.<br />
Yangon has a bit of everything you'd want to experience. It has beautiful architecture and temples, amazing foods, nice people, and even its own Chinatown.<br />

We went to a restaurant in this area that had been recommended by Lonely Planet and it wasn't bad. The food was really nice and so was the restaurant. However, you'll pay western prices for the experience. During this trip, neither of us got sick. Which means the street food (up to a certain extent) can be trusted.<br />

There was a National Geographic photography show going around and they had photos in the middle of the main park.<br />

Couples were just relaxing at the park. It was a rather hot day to be honest. So being in the shade of walking around with an umbrella made sense.<br />

It was even so hot we encountered this gentleman taking a shower in the street. Though it is, by all means, a 3rd world economy, its people were always kind and far. Internet and phone service were available throughout the trip.<br />

Back to the food for a second. Their cuisine is seafood based for the most part. Also, a lot of fried foods. I don't eat seafood, but people out on the street seemed to enjoy the scenery and the food.<br />

Myanmar is also home a lot of monks. We met this gentleman who was walking towards the sea on our last day. He had traveled to the US many years ago and spoke to us for about 5 minutes about his life (a math teacher) and how now is a monk and how he is enjoying life.<br />
<br />
With so many temples, it is hard not to finally meet a monk who A) speaks English. B) had a previous life of doing something completely different.<br />

The main temple in Yangon is stunning. It has so many parts to it. When you first walk in you have to take off your shoes. After that (second photo) you walk past little shops selling artisanal and little knick knacks.<br />
make sure your shorts are to your knees and not any shorter. If not you will have to rent a part of Myanmar styled pants.<br />

Some of the temples were being repaired due to time but also an earthquake that happened a while back. These temples are very delicate and require special care and maintenance.<br />

During the night time, we met up with Nick a friend of my girlfriend's who has been living in Yangon for a couple of years.<br />
We went to Chinatown to eat at one of his favorite street food places and then we went to a Western rooftop bar in another area of Yangon.<br />

You definitely see a mix of cultures and people in places like this. The French have been here for a long time and you can still see traces of their culture in the infrastructure of Myanmar society.<br />

There is a fine balance that needs to be had. I thought these two photos embodied that sentiment. Either way, Yangon is a nice place to visit and explore. We walked through everywhere and never experienced any kind of danger or dangerous circumstance. Just be aware and use common sense and all should be ok.<br />

On our last outing, we encountered this friendly ghost. This kid was so cute and friendly. We just fell in love with him.<br />
It nice to see kids playing outside and being creative. Not just on their iPads. He was also very curious about our photos.<br />

Given the chance, I would go back and check out a couple of more places. There also a train that takes you all around Yangon and drops you off back at the same station. It takes a couple of hours and I would recommend it. We just didn't have time.<br />

I've been to Amsterdam 3 times in my life. The first time was about 20 years ago. However, recently, I've been going back for the last 2 summers. I really never expected to be back to the city. When I was there, I saw the Anne Frank Museum and saw the Red Light District.<br />

The Anne Frank museum is something you see once or maybe twice and you try to forget humanity ever let this happen. The Red Light District was also a culture shock. However, things have changed since the first time I was there.<br />

There is a lot more diversity in the streets. And it seems a little more crowded than before.</div>

In 2017, I was fortunate enough to stay and explore a bit of the city. It is not often one gets to stay in such an amazing place for 2 weeks without having a hectic schedule of places to go and people to see. It was to have a lot of time to explore at our own pace.<br />

No matter what the background was, people were seating down or dancing and enjoying the festival. There was a lot of dancing going on. I've always found it interesting how different cultures are moved by music.<br />

It's fun to see how something as basic as sound can make people so happy and joyous.</div>

During the 2017 trip. We got to travel most of the country. It helps to have an excellent transportation system. The trains and the buses make it possible to see a lot of the places we wanted to see without barring a big cost of renting cars, gasoline, and tolls.<br />

Verona is a lovely city. We got there around 6 pm and walked around for a little bit until we got to the Coliseum that's in the middle of the city. As we were walking around, a lady stops to us and offers us 100 euro tickets for the night's opera.<br />

We were rather amazed at her gratitude. We later found out she is an entertainment critic for a newspaper and I guess she was there to see if the opera still had the same allure.<br />
<br />
I ended up walking around the city a bit while my girlfriend saw the first part of the opera.<br />
<br />
To be honest, I had never heard of it before, but she's a big fan and this trip has been full of adventures and really positive outcomes.<br />
<br />
What I had forgotten about Verona is that it is the city where Romeo and Juliet took place. When walking the streets, I noticed a walkway full of stickers with peoples' names and hearts. It took me about 10 minutes to realize where I was.<br />

<br />
The streets in Verona are unlike any of the other Italian cities I've been to. You can't really see over the buildings. There are a lot of tall buildings that make it hard at times to get natural light. Either way, it was ok. What made it better was the people and the atmosphere.<br />
Oh, the newspaper critic was actually kind enough to give us her ticket when she left in the middle of the show.<br />

Coming out of Venice, we decided to stop at a gas station and fill up the tank. That was the worst decision we could have made at the time. The car started to act up and we had to call the rental car insurance. </div>
<div>
When we spoke to a local guy he states that some gas stations have dirty petrol or add water to the gas.</div>
<div>
This to us seemed like the obvious choice. I know the difference between gas and diesel and we did not put diesel. </div>

This detoured our trip to Domegge di Cadore. A mountainous countryside in Italy. However, the car rental company decided to give us another rental car in Verona. That means we had to find out way there and continue with our trip. </div>
<div>
Domegge di Cadore is a beautiful village. I wish I could have stayed and explored the area longer. But we made the best out of it. This was going to be our time to relax and we did just that. We woke up a little bit late since our car had broken down. And enjoyed having breakfast at this amazing bakery in the middle of town. I would highly recommend the bakery as people drive from long distances just to eat there. </div>

Either way, next to the bakery in the town square is this amazingly big church. It's bigger than anything in the town and near villages. (Below are photos)</div>

I have a thing for church architecture. It's also hard to be in Italy and not take pictures of these town defining buildings. This is the first time I've seen a town have such a large and defining structure.<br />

I had read about Burano in a magazine and saw a video tutorial that used a photo of Burano as one of the images being edited. This is one place my girlfriend had not visited and I was happy to introduce her to it.<br />
<br />
Burano is one of the islands that is part of Venice. The houses are painted overly saturated so that sailors in the old days would be able to see the houses/land in the dark.<br />
It is actually a nice place to take photos.<br />
<br />
Since we had 24 hours in Venice we could only visit this place once. I had the Sony 16-35mm, Voigtlander 40mm F1.4, and the Zeiss Batis 85mm F1.8. Which are the lenses I've used throughout this trip.<br />
<br />
We got there around 7 pm and the sun had started to go down. A lot of people were on their way out. When we came in. Since it had started to get dark. It was actually a good thing. The island was mostly empty, except for the locals.<br />
<br />

This made it easy to photograph the location without having many people in the way. What also helped was the heat. This past summer, Europe was an inferno. So much that a lady walks out of her house and says, "Strada dell'inferno" which made me just crack up.<br />
That translates to "road of hell." What made it even funnier was the fact that it was stated by an older lady.<br />
<br />
In a way, if I could spend a week in Venice or Burano, I would actually like to document Burano.<br />
<br />
It seemed like such a peculiar town. It seemed to be guarded, yet polite to strangers.<br />
<br />
It was definitely a strange mix. However, the houses and the town just seemed majestic. As a small fishing town known for its clothing artisans, the art is slowly dying due to the cost and time it takes.<br />
<br />
I did see a Cuban flag, which reminded me of Miami in a way.<br />
It was nice to be in a city without people on the streets. We only encountered locals until the end of the stay when we met someone from Colorado.<br />
<br />

Since the light was going away, I had to take these photos with a slow shutter speed. I tried to keep the noise down, while keeping the ISO in check. Most of these up to now where taken around 1/40. The Sony Zeiss 16-35 F4 is a pretty good lens, but not a low light champ by any means.<br />

By the way, they have an amazing church. The church has a massive tower that is leaning significantly towards one side. Almost like the leaning tower of Piazza.<br />
<br />
I did take some photos, but I didn't like any photos of the tower. It is something you will either have to look for online or visit this lovely town for.<br />
<br />
Just do yourself a favor and bring mosquito repellent.<br />

Venice was along the way when we were planning this trip. My girlfriend had been there before and kind of rolled her eyes. To anyone traveling and who loves to take photos Venice is a city you must visit.<br />
Since Trieste is only 2.5 hours away and on our way to Domegge di Cadore (our next destination), she obliged.<br />
We spent exactly 24 hours in Venice. It wasn't much, but we got to do what we wanted to do. We saw the city and enjoyed it. However, for me, it wasn't as spectacular as some people feel it is. But I see its beauty and it lends itself to be photographed easily.<br />

The best thing to do in Venice is to wake up early and see the city without being overwhelmed with other tourists. We got up at 6 am to capture the sunrise and see as much as we could. We were only in the area for 24 hours and needed to make the best of it. </div>

If I had an ND filter and a tripod, I could have made it so that no one was here. I could also just go to photoshop and take out the people. However, that's too much work and not reality.<br />

Around 8 am the city started becoming more lively. Sellers started opening their eateries and people began delivering foods. This is usually my favorite time of the day. The city is just waking up, and if you're into it, you can capture people at the most selfs around this time.<br />

<span style="background-color: #fdfdfd; color: #191919; font-family: "verdana" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">The downtown area wasn't too populated with tourists. In fact, that's one of the main things we loved about this place. The city is built for tourism, but not many are there at a time. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: #fdfdfd; color: #191919; font-family: "verdana" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">It's an old city trying to be modern and upgrading to meet the demands of people to come in and spend. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: #fdfdfd; color: #191919; font-family: "verdana" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">It is close to the water and the people, for the most part, speak English. </span><br />

The typical romantic movie that leaves an impression and you lead your life aspiring to.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: #fdfdfd; color: #191919; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-top: 0px;" />
<span style="background-color: #fdfdfd; color: #191919; font-family: "verdana" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">Before Sunrise with Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy not only inspired me to travel, but to meet someone I could engage in deep thought provoking and at times offensive conversation about life, politics, and the world.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: #fdfdfd; color: #191919; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;" />
<span style="background-color: #fdfdfd; color: #191919; font-family: "verdana" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">In fact, I've gaged many of my relationships based on this meter. Either way, I was finally able to visit Vienna and trail along the same places these characters (Jesse and Celine) walked through. I must admit, they did a lot in a night and based on my travels through the city, the distance between some of the places seemed too distant due to time restraints.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: #fdfdfd; color: #191919; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;" />
<span style="background-color: #fdfdfd; color: #191919; font-family: "verdana" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">Either way, Vienna is like walking through a city that is a museum. Everything in it is clean, the people were extremely friendly.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #fdfdfd; color: #191919; font-family: "verdana" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 15px;"><br /></span> <span style="background-color: #fdfdfd; color: #191919; font-family: "verdana" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">I started the route the movie took in reverse, from end to start. </span><br />

Though small, it has started to get more and more visitors every year. The town is actually a mix between Prague and Vienna. New and Old in a way, but it has its own feel and beauty. </span><br />
<br style="background-color: #fdfdfd; color: #191919; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-top: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: #fdfdfd; color: #191919; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">We only made a pit stop here, but it was nice to see and walk through the streets. We also managed to buy like 6 different types of beers from this region. Including the original Budweiser.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: #fdfdfd; color: #191919; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;" /><span style="background-color: #fdfdfd; color: #191919; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">Google the city and you will get a lot of history and a lot of cool things to do if you ever visit. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: #fdfdfd; color: #191919; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #fdfdfd; color: #191919; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">This stop was added last minute on the recommendation of someone. So, we did not prepare any places to visit outside of the city center. </span><br />

My obsession with churches continues. This church had photos of John Paul II all over it. I guess he might have visited at some point. This church in the city center was quite plain. But then again, there is a nicer and more imposing cathedral a few minutes walk. </div>

It has struck me as odd how safe people feel in certain parts of the world. How police and security are meant more as a result of last attempts to solving a problem. We walked into a maternity ward and no one stopped us. We were just taking photos in this beautiful and very sensitive location. We were respectful and silent for the most part.<br />

I love churches. They are usually the one thing preserved in a city. However, Prague had many beautiful churches and cathedrals. The one above is in the city square and you can claim all the way to the top tower where you can see all of the city in every direction.<br />

<span style="color: #191919; font-family: "verdana" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: #fdfdfd; font-size: 15px;">Part of my obsession with churches is that they hold such a part of a culture's history. Not only is the architecture part of the city, but so are the religious ceremonies.</span></span><br />

I currently live in Shenzhen, though I spend a lot of time in Hong Kong because it's a lot more fun.<br />
It was my time to decide where to travel to. This summer I really wanted to travel to Vienna and Trieste, but I had to meet up with my girlfriend in Amsterdam since she was there for work and she is Dutch (she lives in Hong Kong).<br />
Vienna because of the movie Before Sunrise (I recommend it to anyone who likes scenic movies and romantic ones.)<br />
Trieste because Victor Hugo wrote about it in his novel and because you never hear about someone going to Italy and raving about Trieste. In fact, most people either do not know or just look away when you mention the city.<br />
I've always wanted to drive cross country and see as many places as possible. It's a great feat that indulges senses, patience, local economies, and understanding of autobahn country speed limits. (I'm waiting for speeding fines of around 1,000 euros).<br />
So we rented a small car from Enterprise and got a couple of AirBnB locations and hotels.<br />
Our trip was mostly planned but we gave it room to explore more locations if we wanted.<br />
<br />
This is a basic picture of what we drove in about a week and a half.Robfactoryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07220895650223751599noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8376467135803068399.post-16643731520667507332018-07-20T01:22:00.001-04:002018-10-26T21:36:51.727-04:00Inle Lake, MyanmarThe last couple of months have been a bit of a turmoil. Life, work, life, friends, work, relationships, moving, work and all of the mundane things you guys as readers do not care about. Unless you really do. :-)<br />
Either way, I have been traveling in between these mundane life things and I've been exploring more of the world.<br />

Most of the time the only way to get around the area is through taxi boats. They are more like large motorized canoes.<br />
Most of the people in this area make their living off tourism or the land.<br />
<br />
I encountered the people to be really kind and friendly. A lot of them actually spoke English. Which was nice and easy to communicate with.<br />

Most people we encountered wanted to sell you goods rather than have your charity. You could offer them money, but they just won't accept it, which is nice. We never felt threatened or in danger. People do talk about the war in Burma, and though there are conflicts happening in the north, we never really felt in danger or directly affected by the issues the country is facing.<br />

This past Chinese New Years I went on an amazing trip. I ended up going to Bangkok, Siem Reap, Phnom Penh, and Shanghai.<br />
It was great to have the opportunity to travel to so many amazing
places. I was also able to travel by train between Thailand to Cambodia. The train takes you from Bangkok to the border. Then you go through customs, and walk over to Cambodia.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
It was relatively cheap - About $2 USD. The scenery is pretty amazing and and the people you will meet will impact you. From the border to Siam Reap you take a taxi or bus. We took a taxi and it was about a 4-5 hour drive. We only stopped twice for a bathroom break.<br />

Hi, it has been a long time since I have updated this site. A lot has been going on. If you follow me on Instagram or Tumblr, I tend to update there more, because it just takes longer here.<br />
These are some shots from the Love Park in Ningbo, China.<br />
It is odd to see a park built around a temple area. It is truly beautiful. No wonder it is a place where a lot of people take their wedding pictures. <br />

She's a workaholic who can't seem to relax. I'm someone who tends to relax at most instances. Though there is WiFi at the hotel, we agreed to just relax and be. No plans, just do what we felt like each morning without reservations. </span></span><br />
