Sunsets are the only thing in life that won’t wa

Sunsets are the only thing in life that won’t wait. . I learned that the hard way in Hong Kong, where not once, but twice I was rushing and running to find this “perfect” spot, before the sun went down. . Cuz getting to this particular spot required climbing fences, going through bushes, patiently waiting for a wild boar to go away, getting lost, getting annoyed, getting dirty…but yes, in the end we managed to get there. Only to discover that the rock I’m standing on, was occupied by a man, who wouldn’t move! I photoshopped him out.😉 . If you watched my Hong Kong stories you know what I’m talking about. Basically we got to this secret rock, that firstly is not secret anymore and secondly there was a guy sitting on it, taking photos or videos or whatever and he just wouldn’t move. Even though he saw there was a line of people waiting to take a well deserved photo after this crazy hike. But oh well, it was actually a funny adventure. . Where’s this not so secret spot. I actually won’t tell you.😛 Ok, it’s somewhere around Braemar Hill in Hong Kong, but the exact coordinates I’ll save for a blog post. I’m mean like that!  But actually, you can just google it.😉 . Do you have any stories with inconsiderate people who were making your photo taking process harder? .

Read the caption! . Approximately 1 million plastic bags are used in the world EVERY MINUTE❗️ . If I have to be honest, I never believed this data until I started travelling in South East Asia. As amazing as those countries are, the plastic usage here is enormous. And I’m not saying it’s only in SEA. This data refers to the whole world. In SEA it’s just more “visible”. . Because literally everything is packed in a plastic bag. Sometimes even 2.  And do you know what the average “working life” of a plastic bag is?  15 minutes❗️ And do you know how long it takes for the environment to break down a plastic bag? 10-20 years!❗️❗️❗️ You do the math. . If that’s not scary, let me tell you, that on average every person eats about 19 kg (40 pounds) of plastic in their life❗️ Yum, right? My favourite type of food. . So yeah, SAY NO TO THE PLASTIC BAG❗️ You just have to be quick. The sellers, no matter where they’re located, put everything in the plastic bag automatically.

Which statue is your favourite?
.
Nestled in the foothills surrounding Kyoto.
Otagi Nenbutsuji temple is home to around 1200 rakan. Rakan are stone statues representing the disciples of Buddha.
These ones are all quite funny and have settled into the environment growing grass hairstyles and mossy facial hair.
.
This was one of the most original temples I visited in Japan and a relatively short walk away from the famous bamboo grove of Arashiyama. Add it to your list of places to visit in Kyoto!

Yee Peng Festival, Chiang Mai - Thailand, 2023🏮

Yee Peng Festival, Chiang Mai - Thailand, 2023🏮
.
Let me ruin that for you.😛
But save the location for next year❗️
.
If you ever Googled Chiang Mai, you might have seen the photos of hundreds of lanterns being lit up in the sky. This is happening during Yee (Yi) Peng lantern Festival. It originated from the Lanna culture in Northern Thailand and naturally the release of the lantern is supposed to take all your troubles away...In reality, it created all our troubles.😛
.
Because, you might not know (well, I didn't) that this group lantern release that looks so pretty is not free! It's quite expensive in fact, around $130-140 per person! That's super expensive for Thailand.
.
In the beginning we thought we'd pay. You know, one time experience bla bla bla. But the more reviews we read of how unorganized it was, the less we wanted to do it. Basically the reviews said: queue, queue, queue, pretty, queue.
.
Queuing the whole day for $300? Hmm, I could think of better ways to spend that money.
.
📍So instead we went to a free event, that takes place in Doi Saket.
.
So yes, you have to get there on your own, everyone was releasing lanterns when they wanted, so there wasn't this "wow" effect. And what pissed me off the most, ppl were setting off fireworks everywhere, so we actually got hit by one. Matt still has a bruise.
.
But yes, we went, we released the lanterns, which was quite nice, we took in the view...but yep, done that, won't do it again.😛
.
Would you pay $150? Or maybe you did?
.
Also this photo is slightly Photoshoped, but probably noone will read this far to know.😛

Read the caption! . Ok, I’m not telling you that you should buy a 5 litre water bottle and carry it with you while sightseeing. I hope you won’t think I did.😉 . But if you’re done for the day and you want to buy water for your accomodation, the big bottle is the way to go. One million plastic bottles are purchased every minute!!! Can you imagine how much plastic waste that is? Probably not. So don’t be a part of this waste, save the plastic and the planet.
.
And remember, every little bit helps!
