Sunday Special – Gardens By The Bay, Singapore
During my short time in Singapore I was happy to be able to see some of the Gardens By The Bay. This huge 101 hectare / 250 acre park has much to offer and at night is pretty glow of lights when the Supertree Grove is lit up. Although I only saw it at night... Continue Reading →
A Solitary Ride in Myanmar
It was my second day renting a scooter. I felt more confident and chose to venture out on my own. It was past the hottest time in the afternoon, about 3:00pm and the Myanmar sun was making its slow descent, casting longer shadows on the ground below. Today's scooter was blue. I decided to go...

Small Victories
