roads-to-victory-roads-to-destruction-road-kill

There are so many sayings about roads; “There are many roads that lead to Rome“, “Path of life” are just a couple of examples. I’m not going to go into details about the real definition of the word road as I’m sure that people have pretty much the same definition in their minds. But the roads that I’ll be discussing about here are the roads that are labeled made in Indonesia. That’s right, I’m gonna talk about Indonesian roads in general. Read more

venetian-canals-veins-of-a-city

Among all touristy places in Europe, my all time favorite would be Venezia. Each time I went there, there were always something I miss out from the last time I was there.

Not many cities were built on water that has the high vista quality as my beautiful Venezia.

The misty and beautiful sunset approached my horizons, here by the side of West Lake in Hangzhou. My breath was taken by its golden color, just ripe enough for me to pick if it were mango.

On the side, there were plenty citizens using the landside to enjoy the scenery and the cool wind.

People chatted; some playing chess, some young couples just simply enjoying their cotton candies, some just sat or read, kids playing around, and some senior citizens complete with their musical instruments are giving out free entertainment.

After my days in Shanghai, Hangzhou has offered a retreat and relieves of the old communal life of the Chinese. The blending of landscape and man-made curvy landside Read more

Let our thoughts be alike. Consciousness and temptations be one. Let’s utilize it optimally. A couple of years ago I was watching a movie “Fifth Element” functioning on Vaastu theory simulating 3-D city matrix flashing an idea which can change the way we live. Since in this never­-ending maze of fashion. We are lost as to how to think about a real city matrix, which solves most of our problems.

We continue in strive of creating a perfect city matrix. Read more
