Puncture

Ham Nghi, Saigon, Vietnam, January 2012

Got a puncture in one of the air tubes of my bicycle. A friendly repair guy at a street corner opted to fix it with super glu. I was a bit skeptical of the method but as I was not in a hurry and could not do much else, I sat down, drank a cafe sua da and chatted with him. It took him half an hour and cost me 15 000 VND. But this time, the traditional street ingeniousness didn't pay off and two blocks further, my tyre was flat again.

Honda Dream

Hanoi, Vietnam, March 2009

Funambule et un peu insomniaque. Qu'il est difficile de se (re)poser en ces temps de festivités de fin d'année.

By the River

Saigon, Vietnam, December 2011

A lovely stay in England then a couple of days in Paris with family. And now, back in Saigon, after a long flight followed by an intense day at work, feeling jet-lagged and a little lonely.

San Augustin

San Augustin, Manila, Philippines, November 2011

Déambuler le long des grandes vitres donnant sur le jardin intérieur avec le bahay kubo, la lumière de fin d'après-midi éclairant les couloirs calmes et silencieux du musée. Instants fugaces, retour en arrière, souvenirs mélangés de cette enfance passée dans l'atmosphère moite des terres chaudes et tropicales. Discussions passionnantes sur tout et rien, sur les navires, les découvertes, les biens culturels. Agréable séjour, d'autres perspectives.
