John Bardos asked me recently to answer some questions for his website JetSetCitizen.com. The site is about people who live a nomadic lifestyle; the modern gypsies of this world who create the lifestyles they want to live. So it was a no-brainer for me to comply. You can find the interview here.

If you liked that one, but don’t know how Lee Kuan Yew, Naomi Campbell or Egyptian queen Hatshepsut fit in the picture; you might want to check out also this earlier Q&A session with Epicurienne.

Meanwhile, ‘Mission Triycle’ is developing and will kick start probably this coming week. Stay tuned!

Negros is one of the larger islands in the Philippines. It features 4 volcanoes and is divided by a high mountain range, thus almost completely separating the western part – Negros Occidental – from the eastern part – Negros Oriental.

Dumaguete is the largest city almost at the south-eastern tip of Negros. You can drive around the island via a main road, which closely follows the coastal line. There are a few roads going right through the island also.

Driving around with a rental bike over the last 3 days – here is what we figured out so far:

Is there anything that isn’t said already about Manila? The Capital of the Philippines, once dubbed the “Pearl of the Orient” or “City of our Affections” (I prefer the latter, hehe!), has all the right and wrong ingredients to star in its very own city-flick thriller.

Asked anyone who’ve been there about this city and its either a hate or love affair.

It is after all just another big city bustling with activities, filled with millions of people, cars, bikes, fumes, colors, smells – almost like any other metropolis in Asia. Or isn’t it?

Visiting family and friends here in Germany over the last 14 days, I ran across 2 practical inventions, which struck me as quite odd.

As I’ve never seen any of them before in Asia, I naturally assumed that some crazy German came up with the idea.

After all, can you imagine a true-blue American or Australian BBQ Fanatic inventing something to simplify their favorite past-time – the BBQ experience?

BBQ is a science in itself. But there is always room for improvement.
