Cat Ba is a city of aquariums and neon lights. An island that has been whispering to me to stay. I feel like there are experiences waiting for me.
272. | An unexpected friend and a metaphor for dinner
And in the end, there’s nothing left inside, just a big brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
271. | I have become more experienced
I really like the insights that come to me while writing. Even karaoke can’t diminish the importance of a reference point. This is just an experience.
270. | I hear differently
The same metal is playing. The same anger. The same desires. Only inside me, completely different captions are born next to the words I hear.
269. | Haiphong
No big lesson. No world-changing. Just a few days in Haiphong, with spontaneous decisions, strange situations and good tastes. And a new friend.
268. | Hanoi asked for another day
Hanoi gave me another day. For coffee, for wonder, for getting lost, for being lost, and for the feeling that I could somehow be at home among the stars.
267. | A day off in Hanoi
Past, ideology, spirituality, chaos, height, play and a quiet walk home. That’s what a perfect day in Hanoi meant to me.
266. | My Little Book of Tales
I spent 41 days collecting discarded playing cards on the roads of Asia. In the end, I found not only a deck, but also a unique book of tales.
265. | Arrival in Vietnam
Hanoi is both chaotic and lovable. Between the motorbikes, smiles, coffee, streets and flavors, I immediately feel like I’ve arrived in Vietnam.
264. | A bus where only the ceiling was free
15 hours on an overcrowded sleeper bus from Laos to Hanoi. It was uncomfortable, it was absurd, but I received humanity, food, and smiles along the way.
