London the third

Museum visiting and sustainable tourism places discovering third time in London went pretty well.
I missed the conference because of the plane delay, but I witnessed so many wonderful things:

Natural history museum: the colonial power of Great Britain accumulated this vast treasure from all the corners of the world. The Natural History Museum is a beautiful enormous place and worth the visit:



This is it from the outside, from the inside, it unravels beauties like dinasours' skeletons, stuffed animals, evolution proofs, etc.



When on the inside, you pass through the simulated core of the earth to the volcano and earthquake exhibition. Beautiful and scary.



There is a whole collection of all existing hummingbirds and with a lovely display:


And, of course the dinosaur waving goodbye at the exit:



The science museum is just next door drom the Natural history museum:

and the beautiful Da Vinci exhibition:



The cosmonaut exhibition  where the first rockets that went to space are displayed:



and guess what this is:

The Lajka pod:



It was short, but sweet unexpected visit to London.

London calling for the second time

This time it was a semi/business trip. But still nice

We visited the markets, explored some spots for work, learned quite a bit. AAAAAAAnd went to Tate modern museum, which kind of a became our tradition in London. AAAAAnd ate a lot of good Indian food.

At Photogramma, pictures speak the most, so

These are some from the Growing Communities Farmers Market

That's all! :)

Hong Kong living

I want to move here.  I don't know if that's just because I have still a couple of days left before coming back to stress, studies, refugee crisis in Europe, late night writing, and I want to avoid it, or it's just the spirit of this eventful city, full of surprises. I am sitting here, on the beach of the island of lunnan, eating my corn and pineapple on a stick, I am wet from swimming in the ocean, and wishing that I could live like this for the rest of my life, but it doesn't work that way. I will have to endure a lot of stress to get places like I planned. But, then again, nothing did happen the way I always planned, so I might just go ahead and stay here. Why not? Close to all the interesting countries I have never been to, with budget airoplane companies, I am closer to Australia for visiting my cousin and friends, so why not? I never planned on living in one place till the rest of my life, anyhow. But, I already payed for my semester, my work is waiting for me, and people, too. And my family is going to go crazy if I move to another country, again. So, guess I am going to go. I still have a couple of days to enjoy and then take a long flight home. 

I could tell you how the people are here on this careless island. That is true, just 49 minutes ferry ride away from smoky Hong Kong, there is this paradise where cars are forbidden. You have bikes, your legs and a boat to get around and it is beautiful. The walking paths are clearly marked and the sights are easy to get to. Every now and then, you will see a map with the distance to the next important sight and lots of restaurants, food trucks with meats on a stick, beaches, trees and people. The Hong Kong living is fast, but here you can get away from it all. 

The most amazing thing is that people come practicing Tai Chi on the beach, so you can stand behind them and copy. That would seem a bit weird, so I skipped that, but I was seriously thinking about it. 


live long and prosper, I am off to Europe.
