Travels in Xi'an: Tang Paradise

Depending on who you ask, Tang Paradise (大唐芙蓉園) is either the most wonderful or the most ghastly place to visit in Xi'an. Some see it as a homage to the Tang dynasty with its Tang style buildings and gardens, others see it as too disneyesque with its theme park like feel. However one feels about Tang Paradise, one thing is sure though, the place photographs beauitfully.

Travels in Central Park

Photos taken on Saturday, 10 April 2010.
Today, James and I took an impromptu walk in New York's Central Park. We touched down at JFK at 9.30am, and took the subway to the city before our afternoon flights at 3pm. Although we weren't prepared for the 46 degree weather in New York (it was in the upper 60s when we left Atlanta that morning!), the sun was out and the weather was beautiful. We enjoyed our stroll in Central Park very much!

Travels at home

I love a sunburnt country,
A land of sweeping plains,
Of ragged mountain ranges,
Of drought and flooding rains.

One morning, while I was still sleeping, my mum captured these photos on my camera. Look how beautiful her garden is! Home sweet home.
