A slant on Bangkok's skyline

Burnham alien light-scape

Sometime March 2006, I took a quick break and headed for Baguio with family and friends. It was unseasonably cold then, and Burnham has just completed its transformation into an Atienza-inspired light show. The green-ness somehow reminded me of alien invasions - either simultaneous hatchings of body-snatcher pods or the tommyknockers were comin' a-knockin' on our doors.

Liwaliw blogger takes a walk

I'm reviving my blogger site. From now on, this blog will contain snapshots of curiosities I encounter while going around the city as well as my other travels.
