Life is not measured
by the numbers of breaths
we take but by the places and moments
that take our breaths away.

The whole idea of posting my travel journals all began with 2 thoughts: 1) Happenings that are not written down would be forgotten. Yes, even the happiest moments would be forgotten if nothing triggers those memories. 2) One of my friends started posting his travel entries & I really liked reading his entries b/c it made me feel that I was also there, looking through the same window or walking the same streets.

I think it's just great to see something new, something interesting everyday, especially when days here can be quite boring at times. It's just rejuvenating to see that the world is really out there, waiting for us to explore! =)
