A safe place to talk openly about mental health & illness
These pics are from my second big international trip. It was 2003, and we hit up 7 countries in 5 weeks. It was fast, but we were very organized and efficient. These pics are photos of prints from film. This was in Györ in Hungary. We were staying in student residences that were also available… Continue reading Travel Pics from Central & Eastern Europe
This is a hodgepodge of different pics from, as the title says, four different continents (Europe, Asia, South America, and North America). These pictures are all from pre-digital times, so they're digital photos of prints from film. This is Le Mur des Canuts (wall of weavers), a trompe l'oeil (trick the eye) mural in Lyons,… Continue reading Travel Pics: 4 Continents, 1 Post
It's travel Thursday! Here's some show and tell from my international travels This is one of the better public washrooms I've ever come across, at a restaurant in Chiang Mai, Thailand. I'd like my washroom at home to be this fancy. This was in the Palestinian West Bank near Bethlehem. My friend and I were… Continue reading Show & Tell: Travel Tidbits
I'm not a photographer, and I've never had a fancy camera. Often my photos turn out with the colour looking quite different from what the subject of the photo looked like in real life. I decided to tweak some of my travel photos to make them more colourful and, in some cases, more true-ish to… Continue reading Travelling in Bright Colour
These are a few kind of weird and random pics from my travels. In Bangkok, specifically the Patpong district, vaginas are big business. There are lots of bars that have "ping pong shows," in which Thai ladies exercise their vaginas in very remarkable ways. My friend and I wanted to see what the fuss was… Continue reading Some Quirky Travel Pics
These pictures in this round of critters from my travels come from a few different countries. We start off in Egypt, riding a camel, which isn't particularly comfortable, in case you wouldn't have guessed that already. The picture below is also from Egypt. This creepy taxidermied pelican was among multiple taxidermied critters at the hotel… Continue reading Assorted Critters from My Travels
This post is going to be less interesting than it could be, because I didn't take many food photos when I was travelling. But here are a few odds and ends. Fruitshakes are huge in Thailand (or at least they were back in the day). I'm not a big fruit fan, but their fruitshakes were… Continue reading Food & Drinks from My Travels
This round of travel pics features cats, dogs, and a couple of guinea pigs. Some are strays and some are pets. I was taking a little ferry across Lake Titicaca from the Peru side to the Bolivia side, and a local lady had this adorable little kitten. Lake Titicaca is supposedly the highest navigable lake… Continue reading Critters of My Travels: Cats & Dogs
I noticed that when I was travelling, especially in non-Western countries, people got excited when you played with their kids. Granted, the fact that I was a 20/30-ish Canadian chick probably made me pretty unthreatening. This post shows some of the kidlets I encountered on my travels. I don't actually recall if this was in… Continue reading Get to Know Me Thursday: Kiddos of My Travels
I used to like to travel, and part of the fun was the critters. These photos are from a trip I did to Peru. The pics I chose don't represent a broad variety, but I really do love me a llama. These photos are from the Islas Ballestas off the coast of Peru. They have… Continue reading Critters of My Travels: Peru
