Bienvenido!

so we arrive in madrid.

the mornings are beautiful, clear and sunny and sans touristos yet, as most shops don't open until 10am



random skywriting appears over madrid most days.

may i say, i really like this photo. i suggest you enlarge it.

however it seems as though they may be in training as they only do straight lines.

there's a beautiful park in the centre of madrid.
i suggest one checks it out if one is looking for some sunbaking.
handy hint: pack beer.

la plaza mayor. wierd things happen


the train station. lots of turtles.




ronaldo. the unofficial queen of madrid.







madrid has a serious prostitution issue.
we did see a very amusing scene with a midget pimp. nuff said.



i strongly recommend you skip the palace real and go straight to the 'mercado de san miguel'.

amazing gastronimic experience.

and then we head to the casa de real madrid.




we met an awesome couple in madrid, odi and angela.
they too had their spain vs belgium tickets cancelled. so sad.



and so it's time to leave madrid.

we take the overnight train.

and wake up in barcelona.

the journey ensues..

the sun rises and the sun sets, over Seoul

just one night and one day in Seoul for now.


we will be back in a month but until then,
all i have is one hell of a buffet to think about.

rest in peace uncle sonnie

my uncle passed away today after a long fight with cancer.
i'm glad he doesn't have to suffer any more but i'll really miss him.


it's weird how you feel guilty for things when someone goes away..

sonnie and irma just bought me some golf balls for my birthday and i hit one into the rough and didn't find it..

i wish i found that golf ball..

être une chose du passé

these are some photos my sister found of her with my grandparents.
there's something really timeless about them. maybe it's just me..
