Bukit Timah Nature Preserve and a Trip to Singapore Zoo
I spent the morning walking around the Bukit Timah Nature Preserve. The preserve is only about a 30 minute drive (or hour bus ride) from the city center and is located in the only remaining stretch of rainforest in Singapore. Continue reading “Bukit Timah Nature Preserve and a Trip to Singapore Zoo”
Szia Later Budapest
Better late than never, but it’s been good Budapest. It is time to give my liver a good long rest and actually get some sleep that isn’t interrupted by drunken yelling and people stumbling in at all hours of the night. It has been a wild ride and wouldn’t have been the same without all the crazy nights and antics, but I wouldn’t change a thing. Now I am in Asia, enjoying Singapore until the next stop.
Here is one last batch of gorgeous scenery featuring Fisherman’s Bastion, Matthias Church, and Buda Castle. Continue reading “Szia Later Budapest”
Balaton Sound and the Unofficial Photographer
I recently learned that if you carry a big enough camera and actually know what you are doing, people at music festivals have no idea that you actually aren’t an official event photographer. This happened to me at Balaton Sound, a 5 day music festival in Zamárdi that was home to 145,000 visitors over the weekend. The best part of looking like an event photographer is the fact that everyone lets you get to the front of all the sets. Continue reading “Balaton Sound and the Unofficial Photographer”
Sex, Drugs, and A Naked Serbian
Budapest is not normal by any means, and its’ wild nights dwarf anything I have experienced back home. From ruin bars to pub crawls to pool parties, Budapest has it all, and it’s always amped up to 11. What is there to say about a city that is equal parts insane night-life and beautiful scenery that can’t be summed up in the phrase that everyone who comes here ends up saying every night, “Buda-fucking-pest, man.” Continue reading “Sex, Drugs, and A Naked Serbian”
Quick Day Trip to Bratislava
Because I was so close to Bratislava, Slovakia, about an hour away when I was in Vienna, and was looking for any excuse to get out of the city, I took a day trip. I had to cut my time there a little short because I had messed up my feet the previous day walking 20km in sandals with wet feet. But from what I saw I liked the look of Bratislava. I checked out the Blue Church, UFO, and the remains of Devin Castle. Continue reading “Quick Day Trip to Bratislava”
