Mumbai
© Ch’ng Yaohong, 2009 Got back home last night from my short trip to Mumbai. It was such a charming (and chaotic) city. Makes one feel alive being in a place with that much vibrance and noise. I’m still recovering from my flights and the drive down from Kuala Lumpur. Too bad I didn’t have [...]

Trip Changes
After mentally preparing myself for India, my friends and I are still grounded at home. Due to some unforeseen circumstances, we are forced to forgo our trip and would be making our way to Philippines instead. Bureaucracy and last-minute surprises are just too much for my faint heart! My dear Filipino friends, I will be [...]
