Sideman | lovestorm abroad

https://lovestormabroad.wordpress.com/2015/02/23/sideman

It rains hard like this in Sideman, moments after we get settled into our guesthouse. Two hours later, when its rant finally stops, the air is fresh, clear, clean. It’s the coolest I’ve felt since we landed in Asia, even cooler than in the air-conditioned minibuses for tourists. February 23, 2015. Laquo; Previous Post. Next Post ». Leave a Reply x.

Ubud | lovestorm abroad

https://lovestormabroad.wordpress.com/2015/02/20/ubud

Bali embodies beauty. Exotic, tropical, timeless beauty. Moist moss-covered stones act like they’ve been here forever. Huge carved structures rise out of the earth. Bud, you treasure, you tropical beast. You offer your beauty for us to feast. And though it’s twisted and slightly strange, one taste of you and I am changed. February 20, 2015. Laquo; Previous Post.

Cultural Differences | lovestorm abroad

https://lovestormabroad.wordpress.com/2015/02/05/cultural-differences

Sometimes it seems perfectly normal to be here. I feel relaxed, comfortable, part of things. I forget I’m so far from home. Starts to feel like my home. Then I see something so weird or unbelievable, it hits me – how different we are, the Cambodians and I (the foreigner). How differently we think and behave. How different our history and daily reality. Cultural differences – they can delight or disgust but it’s better not to judge. Seem to have less litter than others we stumbled upon. Eating bugs makes ...

Leaving India | lovestorm abroad

https://lovestormabroad.wordpress.com/2013/03/13/leaving-india/comment-page-1

I can’t believe it’s over. We’re leaving India. Back to home and the things we know so well. Will we see it differently? Or will we revert back to our old routines, our predictable thoughts, our habitual actions? What are we bringing back with us? Has India changed me at all? I don’t know the answer to these questions yet. A sense of unease permeates me as I sit in the Delhi airport. I feel between worlds. I don’t know where I belong. Is it in Mexico, basking in the sun, sand and Spanish? March 13, 2013.

Snacking in Bangkok | lovestorm abroad

https://lovestormabroad.wordpress.com/2015/01/13/snacking-in-bangkok-3/comment-page-1

I also tried prawn Pad Thai, crispy pork with basil leaves, gristly beef soup with offal, spicy rice noodles with green peppercorns, bananas in coconut sauce and a killer iced coffee. Bangkok, I see right away, is a city of food and to my delight, a perfect city for snacking. Plus, everything is so cheap. None of the aforementioned snacks were more than $1.50! Can you understand why I can’t resist them? At this point I just wish my tummy was bigger cause I’m still stealing glances at the fresh pome...

Seminyak | lovestorm abroad

https://lovestormabroad.wordpress.com/2015/03/07/seminyak

As the waves crash on this endless stretch of sand and the sea breeze bathes my body, I am overwhelmed by a sense of well being and wistfulness. This beach reminds me of Puerto Escondido, my beloved place in Mexico. Nature is powerful though. Even in this tourist mecca, she speaks loudly and I hear her so well. Am I glad I came to Seminyak? Yes, definitely yes. Would I come back again? March 7, 2015. Laquo; Previous Post. Next Post ». Leave a Reply x. Enter your comment here. Address never made public).

Amed | lovestorm abroad

https://lovestormabroad.wordpress.com/2015/02/28/amed

Imagine a curving stretch of coast with coarse black sand sprinkled with chunks of coral. Skinny wooden fishing boats are lined up on the beach. A few brown-bodied kids play in the surf. Snorklers’ pipes stick up through the water’s surface and giant puffy clouds hang in the sky. This is Amed, a humble fishing village on the east coast of Bali. Vers in their clinging black wet-suits. Under the sea’s surface, there’s more to see. Coral reefs, iridescent zebra-striped fish, long hairy s...Verything is wate...
