Thanks to my brother Bernard, my six-month trip in Australia and Asia is illustrated by a

beautiful map. There is a two-day stop in Bangkok missing, but I was only there to buy my plane ticket to Nepal.

London : six-hour visit
Kuala Lumpur : 10 hours in the airport - I was too tired from the flights (over 30 hours flying and transit time) to visit

Australia : 2 weeks, visiting my friend Anick, in a small town near Port Macquarie on the east coast

Laos 10 days in Vientiane, Champasak, Si Pan Don Islands

Vietnam 3 weeks in Hué, Hanoi, Haiphong, and Halong Bay

Thailand : 2 days in Bangkok, chilling out

Nepal 4 months in Kathmandu and surroundings, Imadol (village where I held english workshops), and Pokhara

Nostalgia (part II)

I haven’t been abroad since April 2004, except for a short 3-week study stay in Switzerland last year. Finally completing my bachelor this summer, I’m starting to feel again the urge to leave. In the meantime, I’m in the process to renew with my nomadic side. With my nepalese memories, place and time where my life fell into sedentarity.

I’ve found on youtube, two of my favorite hindi songs, which I believe could be of interest even to people who usually dislike asian music.

Excellent, surprising and amusing : Pretty Lady remix… hindi flavored ! The worst video ever though.

This one, I just can’t get burnt out of listening to it. And a delight to dance to ! Mega success in the indian sub-continent. The first 30 seconds are tacky, but it is worth the wait.
