My favorite part of the journey So yesterday worked out better than I thought. Leh and Dharamsala are very very far from each other. It usually should take 1-2 days to get there, even with flight since Dharamsala has no nearby airport. But we managed to reach Dharamsala from Leh in a little over 7 [...]

Leh to Dharamsala
Friday, July 8th, 2011Beirut, Baalbek, and Hezbollah
Saturday, June 18th, 2011Beirut: A cosmopolitan, urban city policed by carbine-armed soldiers, where ferraris and BMWs park next to armored tanks, where glass-paned high-end boutique shops neighbor derelict husks of concrete bombed out by a 10 year old war. – At time of posting in Beirut, it was 75.2 °F – Humidity: 65% | Wind Speed: 3km/hr | [...]
Blessed are my eyes.
Thursday, June 16th, 2011There are very few moments in life where you stop to think, and forget to start again… We knew we only had 2 days in Istanbul, so upon our 6am arrival into the Bus Terminal (from our 12 hour overnight bus from Cappadocia) we got a little antsy as they kept us waiting for the [...]
Cappadocia on the ATV
Tuesday, June 14th, 2011Just because the balloons got rained out doesn’t mean we can’t have another kind of adventure: They call her "Mama GRIZZLY" We rented a couple of ATVs and took them out on the town, and caught some beautiful views: Rose Valley Driving down the range A very phallic "Love Valley." Yes, it’s really called "Love [...]
San Salvador, Lima, and a Mid-flight f*** up
Sunday, March 27th, 2011Before I know it, I’m already fast packed to another trip across the border. What’s different this time is that out of all the inhabitable continents of the world (sorry Antartica, unless global warming happens, you don’t count), only South America and Australia have remained elusive to me.We get on a morning TACA flight at [...]
A more scenic side of Tijuana
Tuesday, December 28th, 2010After lunch we commandeered a pick-up truck up to the top of the hills: Tijuana just got served And then we came back down just in time to see the roofs put up: Roof goes up! – At time of posting in Tijuana, Mexico, it was 68 °F – Humidity: 46% | Wind Speed: n/a | [...]
Heading home
Sunday, December 19th, 2010How can a trip be complete without something getting served? The IFC building that Batman jumped off of in "The Dark Knight" just got served The Bank of China tower just got served Thanks to Vicky for coming out to see me a day after getting her wisdom teeth pulled! We haven’t seen each other [...]
The last bits of my journey
Tuesday, August 10th, 2010And all good things shall come to an end… I party it up with some classy ladies in Singapore on National Day: I return the favor by having their apartment served: The next morning (however difficult it was to get up for various reasons), I explore the very fake beach of Siloso at Sentosa [...]
Being sore for Mysore: 3rd sex’es, Giant Palaces, and Pretty Bollywood Fountains
Thursday, August 5th, 2010Took an early morning bus to Mysore yesterday, which ended up being a long daytrip to Srirangapatnam (if you’re a history buff, you’d recognize it) and Brindavan Gardens (if you’re a Bollywood fan, you’d recognize it) as well. Got back at midnight and I’m pretty beat. Here’s what I saw from a hectic journey, including [...]
Monsoonal Goa
Monday, August 2nd, 2010They always ask: “You’ve been to India? Did you go to Goa?” and I always say “no.” In fact, I wasn’t planning to go to Goa on this trip until 4 days ago when I met an Indian family on my train to Hyderabad who told me to go. So while I was in Hampi, [...]
