A week ago in Gili Trawangan Luca had an idea to go to Gili Meno by canoe.
First, I am silent, then I said yes, but if we can find a canoe for 2 persons.

Luca was looking at me and said “Lek, let’s try one each, if you can’t do, just tell me”.

Luang Prabang March ,2007
Along the way from Vientiane to Luang Prabang by bus it’s such a long trip as it’s up and down and up and down the hills.

Ubud, Bali, April 3rd, 2007

It sounds nice to hear in the quiet night of nature, of insect sound combined with a human music, becomes a nice sound of a culture and the beautiful life that you can find in here Ubud, Bali.
