The imagery of it all! :P<br /><br />But seriously, you have such empathy and connection with these places you visit, that it makes me want to visit (or in some cases, revisit) the places that you write about.<br /><br />You stir up our imaginations, my brother, and our desires (to travel, to eat, to experience) too.Kenny Mahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10858453655208305063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1903388640691349615.post-60120597804212913942010-01-23T23:16:42.781+08:002010-01-23T23:16:42.781+08:00Fabulous post, Nic.

Eating fried noodles and rice should be separately?<br /><br />I love the song "I will fly" by ten2five. It just brought a poignant memory when I had to fly back from Surabaya to Jakarta on a drizzling afternoon, the bus driver played that song in the transfer bus from airport to the plane. What could be more perfect for a person who love traveling, gloomy weather, airport/plane, and lights, then listening to a wonderful acoustic song that touch her heart?<br /><br />Any chance to eat nangka again? There's crispy dried nangka, very yummy ;)Selbahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07928176267795475683noreply@blogger.com
