Torii of Inari
Went to Inari today, to visit the Fushimi-Inari Taisha, the famous shrine trademarked by its hundreds of Torii, lined up along the path.
Just a short distance from the Inari station the shrine area begins and it looks just like other shrines at first. This changes, however, once you start you tour around the [...]

El contraste al llegar a Kuala Lumpur en comparación con India fue muy bestia. El moderno aeropuerto ya indicaba que lo que íbamos a encontrar en Malasia poco tenía que ver con lo que habíamos encontrado en India.Aterrizamos sobre las 11 de la noche hora local (6 horas más que en Barcelona) y una [...]
GROOVESPOOK:Woke up wonderfully late this morning and wandered round the corner to Rosa’s place for an awesome breakfast that included fresh fruit with meusli for Nuttter and an omelete with BREWED COFFEE for yours truly.

Inscrutible Iggy
Another fairly early wake-up courtesy of Iggy who was keen to ensure that we understood how pleased he was to see us at 05:30. After a leisurely start we did some shopping for provisions and went to see where Ollie & Ang will be living from September. A lovely modern town House [...]
GROOVESPOOK:It is Monday, I think- hee hee - we arewaiting for the minivan to overfill in Puerto Princessa for the 6 hour trip to El Nido, the sweet spot of Palawan. Nuttter has run off to see if there are indeed any cheaper options and I sit here, tapping away on the iTouch and keeping a [...]
this is Rambo
My kittens have arrived and finally get the treatment they diserve. Otherwise I was busy helping the RTC prepare for one week of Training and to organize and facilitate the annual Health Sector Workshop. Of course with appropriate celebrating afterwards!
