Sick in Scotland
With the early signs of Spring blossoming this time of year in many parts of the world, I thought I would find at least some signs of the lessening grip of winter that these warmer months bring. I was completely wrong. I arrived in Glasgow and it was gloomy, raining and frigid. I didn't even see the trees starting to push green buds. After I left the bus from the airport I didn't have much energy to look further - summoning the last bit of … [Read more...]

Cirque du Soleil’s “O” – A Wondrous Water World
I have to release the joke from the top: Cirque du Soleil’s “O” is a wholly immersive experience. Yes, “O,” (a phonetic rendering of the French eau for “water,”) is a water world: water is the flowing stage—often the literal stage—of the mesmerizing theatrics and flourishes of acrobats and dancers, trapeze artists and contortionists, clowns and lovers, all jumping into, out of, on top of and below the enormous pool, in which water is the most … [Read more...]

Gardens of Singapore
What comes to mind when you hear the name Singapore? For me, it’s high rises, global finance, the famed marina and, of course, that huge infinity pool overlooking the city. But, to my surprise, these were not the things I noticed when I first arrived. Instead, what caught my attention was how green and alive with plants the city was. It started directly at Changi airport, where I immediately spotted the living green wall in the arrivals hall … [Read more...]
The Moroccan Sahara. A Sunset Camel Ride in Erg Chebbi.
It has been a long day, yet one that has been extremely enjoyable. Two days in a car would not have been a preferred choice after my disastrous week of cycling in the Atlas Mountains but Mousa, my guide, has made the right calls with stops for both the sights on the way and for breaks, as well as sensing when to chat and when to leave me to doze. The further we drive - the further into the desert we go - the better the scenery. We are roughly … [Read more...]
