I flew in to London Heathrow and was able to snap in a couple photos. I felt like a spy studying the steel structure of the terminals. The massive identity to them. But now, I’m wondering if that’s why they held my luggage for five extra days.
we love traveling and the amazing things it spoils us with. the endless excitement, experiences, sights, sounds, tastes, conversations, interesting individuals and everlasting memories that expand our once narrow minds.
to quote Lowell, “I like traveling. There’s a very lonely, yet, interconnected thing about it. I feel like I’m a part of the world, yet I’m not.”
here’s to more great travels to stir up our imaginations.

Hong Kong's breathtaking skyline from The Peak
always remember where you come from.
working around the clock in the city that never sleeps. grounded. -- subway, new york
crazy guitar licks, good ole rock & roll. we loosen up but never lose the true essence of ourselves. -- post-museum, singapore
what are days without play? -- jakarta, indonesia
getting entranced by thought provoking performance arts. challenge my mind. -- post-museum, singapore
the cash cows are reaping the profits. but we're still grounded. -- perth, western australia
even with our feet way up high, we're still grounded.
natsumi hayashi lives in tokyo, japan, with two cats. she shoots pictures of herself of what seems like she’s “levitating”. super cool.
i love perth, western australia, alot. i’ve come across numerous people who give me the “you-must-be-kidding” expression when i tell them that. but really, perth is so breathtakingly beautiful that it’s quite impossible for me to label it as boring/dead/a waste of time. sure the shops close early, but their insanely gorgeous natural wonders seal the deal for me. it is one of the best places to take it slow and appreciate the smallest things in life.
ps: perth is so spectacular that it really isn’t hard to capture beautiful shots of it, even with a simple digicam.
What happens when you send a request out to the world to chronicle, via video, a single day on Earth? You get 80,000 submissions and 4,500 hours of footage from 192 countries. Producer Ridley Scott and Oscar-winning director Kevin Macdonald took this raw material — all shot on July 24, 2010 — and created Life in a Day, a groundbreaking, feature-length documentary that portrays this kaleidoscope of images we call life. National Geographic is bringing it to theaters starting July 24, 2011. Prepare to be amazed.
