    Hospital Miguel Bombarda: Where the Freedom Ended

    This is not an article about freedom. It’s about a security panopticon inside a psychiatric hospital in Lisbon. I like to think the patients were free in their own minds, so maybe this is a bit about freedom.

    Je t'aime, Paris: Relaxing at the Sacré-Coeur

    Last summer, we went to Paris and visited some places that I had fallen in love with as a young boy. Now, I fell in love again with analogue photography on the stairs of the Sacré-Coeur!

    Solo Biking Routes: Biking by the Marikina River

    I will be honest, I haven’t ridden a bike since I was 12, and that was 10 years ago, i’m not even sure if I still know how to ride a bike. But that won’t stop me from writing an article about a great biking location.

    Vinyl Havens: My Top Three Record Shops in Helsinki

    The vinyl isn't all about the music. It's also about the big cover art and finding the records from records shops or flea markets.

    Bic Camera in Ikebukuro: Walking on Sunshine Dori

    Bic Camera is a famous camera store in Japan. It has many branch locations all over the country, and I was lucky enough to shop at the Ikebukuro branch during my trip this past November. I thought I’d take you along for a glimpse of my experience.

    In 2012, I was lucky enough to take a brilliant holiday to Bulgaria, where I managed to hit a few different locations over the course of 2 weeks. This is now my favourite holiday destination ever.

    Lisbon Graffiti: Calçada da Glória

    When you visit Lisbon, you must ride the typical funicular, "Elevador da Glória". My suggestion, if you are a street art lover, is to go up in the funicular (Lisbon streets are very steep!) and come down walking to enjoy the art.

    To Russia with Love: Udelnaya Flea Market, St Petersburg

    It is a place for real hunters! While I was living in St Petersburg, I have only been to Udelnaya Flea Market once. So, when I visited the city again with two of my friends who have never been to Russia before, they requested to visit a local flea market.

    Palermo, Sicily

    Rough on the outside, warm on the inside. Our visit to Sicily started in Palermo, where we landed. We felt it would be too much of a hassle to drive to Taormina immediately so we decided to stay overnight and learn more about Palermo.

    Lx Factory in Lisbon: From Fabric to Dreams

    Born in 2008, in place of an old fabric factory (and many other things along the years), Lx Factory just breathes creativity. In this small place there are restaurants, little shops, nice coffee houses, model agencies, dancing and acting studios and so much more! It even has the best place in Lisbon to develop film especially if you have a Lomo camera...and art is everywhere!

    Lincoln's Inn: Barristers Paradise in London

    Have you ever heard of the song, 'Wonderful Life' by HURTS? Then probably you might remember these words: "Driving through the city to the Temple Station, cries into the leather seat". If you're looking for something unexpected in the middle of London, then you came to the right place!

    V&A Waterfront, Cape Town

    V&A Waterfront, a place for everything! There is no other place like V&A Waterfront, seriously! You can meet the whole world here: people who come to Cape Town but are too afraid to explore, so they stayed at the Waterfront Hotels, eat at the waterfront restaurants, shop at the Waterfront shops...

    Dock House Hotel, Cape Town

    Dock House, a luxurious boutique hotel with only 8 rooms. Originally built as the Harbour Master’s private residence in the 1800’s, this grand architectural gem has been transformed into one of Cape Town’s most exclusive and elegant boutique hotels. It is situated opposite the graceful Time Ball Tower and its sister property, the renowned Victoria & Alfred Hotel, in the Waterfront’s Portswood Precinct.

  • Victoria and Alfred Hotel, Cape Town

    Victoria and Alfred Hotel, Cape Town

    A hotel with the best ever view you could possibly ever wish for. While preparing for going to Cape Town, I obviously wanted to stay somewhere with a Table Mountain view. It is called such because of the clouds rolling across the top of the mountain, which looks like a table cloth. A lot of the hotels advertised "partial Table View", but in reality, you would have to hang out by the window with the possibility of a broken neck to see even a glimpse of this majestic mountain.

    Get a Nice Girl and a Kid So You Get to Know Your City Better

    I dig deep in the city each time I go for a walk with my 4-month-old son. So if you want to get to know Berlin better - mainly the "Barrios", Kreuzberg and Neukölln - read on after the jump and have a look at the gallery at the bottom.

    Pudu Prison: The Smell Of Death

    Have you ever been to Pudu Prison before? Pudu Prison was once opened to the public, however, as attendance from Malaysians are low, they shut the prison down and did not retain the prison as a historical site to pave way for a brand new building. Modernization at it's best

    Sunset Watching at Camps Bay, South Africa

    The best sunset spot in the entire world. If you are into sunsets like me, you would definitely appreciate Camps Bay Beach in Cape Town. It's easy to reach, there are lots of restaurants and bars where you can savor your drinks while enjoying the magnificent scenery of the Atlantic or you can spend hours on the beach itself.

    Eiffel Tower, a Lomo Location with a Lot of Structure!

    When I was in Paris, the Eiffel Tower made for an amazing lomo subject to photograph! When I visited the Eiffel Tower, I had two cameras with me, the Diana Mini (leopard, loaded with Truprint 200) and a Minolta Dynax 5 (loaded with Lomography Redscale). I had previously been there but had not been into lomography at that time, so I thought this was the perfect moment to get some great shots!

    Bombay Times

    Fortunate enough to have been given the opportunity to live in such a culturally stunning city, there was no point in putting the days to waste. Me and a couple of friends explored the city as much as we could and this is what we came to make out of Bombay (or Mumbai) in a nutshell.

    Clifton Beach, Cape Town

    Clifton Beach, an urban paradise. Clifton Beach is made up of four coves and the beaches are called First, Second, Third, and Fourth. When the summer south-easter blows, the Clifton beaches are usually well sheltered from the wind but to be honest, it’s great to visit all year round.

    Ewha: A Great Place for Youngsters in Seoul, South Korea

    The area of Ewha is well-known for being a great place to get the latest trendy fashions for the younger generation. It is located near the Ewha Womans University campus. For this trip, I brought along my Olympus XA2, which is loaded with expired DNP Centuria 200 and Eximus UWS which is then loaded with expired Fujichrome Provia 100F.

In history textbooks, it states how the locals lead by Rosli Dhobi stood up and fought against the British. Sibu is where history and different cultures mix together into one.
