I was on a really fancy bus with wifi that took me from Bangkok to Chiang Mai when I got one of the most exciting tweets of my life: it told me about a street art tour in Rotterdam I could enjoy. Not the one by Rewriters 010, but one I hadn't heard of yet by Frank Tours Rotterdam. Of course I wanted to join the tour asap, but that's difficult when you're in Southeast...
I was gone for a long time this summer. You might have noticed it, that entire month of quiet on this little part of the internet. And you probably already figured out I spent a lot of time in Thailand. That wasn't the only country I visited in Southeast Asia though. No, I was already getting ready to tell you all about the second country, Laos, when I realized most people barely know that it...
What can I tell you about Thailand? A lot, obviously. I've been doing so for a while now. But still I feel like I haven't done the place any justice. It's difficult to capture the feel of a country in words on paper, or on a screen in this case. I think I capture it better in thoughts. I already think too much anyway, so I'm trying to use these thoughts for good, like showing...

Once upon a time baby Envy got her hands on a yellow stuffed elephant and the rest is history. Visiting an elephant park was the only thing I demanded to do in Thailand. And as it turned out, I got lucky...
I don't remember whose idea it was to do a jungle trek near Chiang Mai in the north of Thailand. It was probably my dad's idea, and any idea that includes running through jungles can count on my approval. We'd booked our three day trek at the Oasis hostel in Bangkok, were picked up early in the morning at the Wualei hostel in Chiang Mai and then... The chaos ensued. The Thai aren't the biggest...
When I was 13 years old I was completely and utterly obsessed with everything Japanese. Except sushi. Other than that every hint of Japanese culture sent me into fangirling hysterics. That's why my friends decided to give me a manga for my 14th birthday. The manga they chose: Fullmetal Alchemist. Little did any of us know that this manga would be the one consistent factor in my life for many years to come. With 27...
