Vivid Sydney. Opera House

Opera House has never been better than this year.

Seven Aborigine artists created their story on the tiled roof of Sydney icon.

Reptiles Turtle, Goana and serpents as their symbol  are represented.

Fantastic!

Lyre Bird Dell track

It is pretty cool in Leura but a blue sky spreads over the mountains.

I just wanted to be here in my favorite spot, 6degrees in the air didn't matter.

Short circuit walk made me so refreshed, my body filled up with lots of Qi.   

If it was summer, I would have sank my body in this crystal clear water...... 

Waratha , it is unusual to flower in winter, normally in spring time.

Tamarama 8 Jun. 2016 6-8ft surfing

5Jun Extraordinary weather smashed Bronte beach

All the council workers are at work, cleaning brick debris and plants washed away by huge waves on weekends.

Never seen this kind of damage here on Bronte Beach in 20years of living here.

Durian in season in South East Asia

You may not like Durian,the king of fruit. 

People say it is smelly, ordour is bad...but for me it is fascinating ordour and taste. I Love it.

May,June is a season of Durian in South East Asia .

 Durian chocolate cake

Durian brûlée, one of the best!

Musan king,most expensive durian left, Udan merah(red prawn) right

Melaka ,coffee jalan jalan

The town is very quiet at weekdays, the shops and the restaurants close by 18:00.

After 10:00 am we need a cool comfortable space to sit down.

Most of the cafe opens at 11:00am though...

Very nice coffee and cakes, one of the staff recommended a chocolate cake, but we

had Mont Blanc. No disappointment whatsoever.. Mont Blanc has a moisture thin chocolate base 

,passion fruit taste and a maron flaver which melts in the mouth smoothly.

Rendan pizza

Chocolate cake is just superb, 3layer of chocolate blended so well

 

Magic of Water..Tampaksirin

Humidity in the air around the temples in Tampaksirin is different to the tropical moisture.

The magic of water is...

Mossy statues of the god, the stairs and the rocks are so mystic and beautiful here.

Sheeps in Ubud, Bali

Finally sheeps get comfortable enough to go outside in Bali.

In the morning before fumes from motor bikes and cars attack two sheeps, we went jalan jalan.

I bought one offering at a morning market, yes the market was busy already at 6:30am.

I didn't see any tourists besides me and sheeps...

 

Babi glin(pork)

Cremation parade will be held on 8th May

Nusa Cheningan Motor Jalan Jalan

Overnight surf trip to Lenbogan island was so fun, with a surf guide Amo who is originally from

Cheningan island took us to island jalan jalan by a motor bike with two other friends.

Just by one tiny bridge people can travel to each islands, this optional trip made us more enjoyable.

Looking over Nusa Penida from Cheningan Cliff

Sheep and Baa finally awake in Sri Lanka

In such a hot climate it is hard to be active for sheeps.

But they enjoyed being on the beach today.

Backpacker sheep's traveling started last year, definitely they need a backpack!

Rice and Curry Sri Lanka's National Dish

I am addicted to local curry shop. Yes it is hot and spicy.  It was kind of difficult to taste spicy food

but having home cooking curry every day made my tongue enjoy spicy curry.

Now I don't order rice and curry at tourist restaurants, they use too much coconut milk

and curry powder.

Even you go to the same eating place, they don't serve the same vegetables.

Daily special rice and curry!!

Curry from my fav. place

Jack fruit, beetroot ,dhal and fish
