The Man Who Asked Me the Name of His Religion
Why, oh why, didn’t I book another transfer at the same time Rachel did? I began pacing in the hostel’s spacious common area. Alone, since the other guests had already gone for their day’s tours....

Atacama's Other Astronomy Tour: Full Moon Ritual at the Ruins of Tulor
The sunset at Tulor was not as spectacular as the one I witnessed the previous evening in the Valley of the Moon. But I was not there for the sunset. This time, I was on...

Batu Caves for the Thaipusam Festival: Worth It?
I guess it’s pretty typical. You tend not to see the tourist attractions of your own city, because you take it for granted. I mean, I’ve been to the famous Batu Caves temple in Kuala...
![I was not planning on making any more trips after returning from my last big trip. But, I realised tomorrow’s solar eclipse is fully visible at Tanjung Piai, Malaysia! I can’t say no to that!

[scroll for images] I noticed the new vibe of the airport because of these. Did you know that the new Jakarta airport has art around its fire extinguishers and electrical panels?? I was very tempted to take a picture of every single one, but since I was all businessy travelly… I couldn’t go all #travelblogger!

When I first shared these on my FB, they quickly generated disagreement. The first camp agreed with me that these are super cool and made the locations more memorable. The other considered them a safety hazard because the artwork obscured the safety devices.

Which camp are you?

![This temple within Melaka’s UNESCO Heritage zone lies at the end of ‘Harmony Street’, where Tukang Emas Street merges with Tokong Street. We explored the reason why it’s called Harmony Street - there are old places of worship of various faiths sharing the same street.

Very close in the next street is a little tomb. You’d miss it if you didn’t know the significance of the name upon it. Hang Kasturi was one of the 5 legendary warriors of the ancient Malacca Empire, but even among locals he is eclipsed by his more glamourous friends, Hang Tuah and Hang Jebat. Yet, I would argue that we are actually a lot more like him than the other two, and that we would do better to embrace him in this globalised age. [blog post link in bio]
