18 August 2019 – Now this was a rare occasion where I was wishing for more time at the airport! Thanks to the country’s latest attraction, Jewel, you’ll probably never run of things to see and do if you ever find yourself at Singapore’s Changi Airport with time to spare. One of the best parts…
People on phones – Scenes from Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong
May 2018 – The following post is a collection of street shots taken in the district of Tsim Sha Tsui, on the Kowloon side of Hong Kong. As you can probably tell from the title, I ended up with quite a number featuring people on their phones (unintentionally, though quite easy to do in a…
