It’s hard to organise the past two weeks into a coherent sequence of events. Blended images come to mind of various things I’ve done and seen, but none appear to be vivid enough to centre my impression of the two weeks. I’d have to look through the photos on my phone to jog my memory,…Continue Reading Tianxia in Tainan: a Somewhat Detailed Description
Hola from Mexico! And, of course, to start things off, flying just didn’t go the way we planned. Mechanical issues and delays saw us missing our connecting flight from LAX to Mexico City.

Our programme began with a long 12 hour flight to the City of Lost Angels. Unfortunately during our departure from Los Angeles, we did in fact lose some of our angels along the way. Due to our delayed flight, being the last people to receive our checked bags, and the massive lines for L.A security,…Continue Reading Bienvenido a Mexico
It’s been a while since I’ve written, and that is because while I have had many incredible experiences, I have also had a lot of homework! Something which made a Taiwanese friend of mine chuckle and tell me I finally understood what it was like to be a student here. I’ve also had the wonderful…Continue Reading Gosh! Hasn’t time flown?
Celebrating New Years’ eve, visiting crazy local markets, eating delicious food, and exploring the city by MRT, are just some of the many things that made my first visit to Bangkok as memorable as ever.
