Stop Press!

Trying to finish Cyprus trip. Four new videos uploaded into previous posts.

After trotting around Southeast Asia over the summer, I'm now back in the UK - Cambridge to be exact. Am trying my best to update as frequently as my clinical course will allow.

Entries on Italy and France two winters ago have been put on hold indefinitely. Read: possibly never. But we shall see.

Entries on Greece and Turkey last winter have also been put on hold for the time being.

Qixia Temple

(2 of 6 of Seven Star Park)
The slight drizzle causes droplets of clear water to fall from the wooden eaves of the temple's roof. Instinctively, he raises his hand as if to push aside the screen of crystal beads. The old world falls away immediately as he steps over the threshold. Nuns go about their daily duties busily: conducting prayers, burning joss-sticks and folding paper money before the watchful eyes of their towering deities.
