I like science fiction and I love time travel. For this too, I am blessed to be in Hanoi.
Wherever you’re wandering, there will be this akward moment where you feel lost. In time.
Wondering for a split second if you are still in the 21rst century; or just a time traveler tourist of the future who just landed a few decades ago?
And then a little detail will remind you in which century you really are:
Mostly photographs with some words by this arty scientist...
Musings and chronicles on life, work, film, culture, politics, etc.
You FIND YOURSELF when YOU LOSE YOURSELF in the SERVICE of OTHERS

Everything yoga: to keep fit, keep informed, and bliss out
I often felt like this in Thailand, too. Southeast Asia is such a special place in the world!
True ! I sometimes change the colors of the pics and turn them into sepia. If there were no motorbike racing in the background, I could easily believe I have landed in the 19th century … How are you dear? X
I’m well! Enjoying summertime and continuing to practice mindfulnes and yoga daily!
👏🏻 bravo sweet yogini !
Love the photos! Any tips for Hanoi? We are going there this fall, and we don´t have a lot of time seeing (2 days), so If you have any must do attractions it would be greatly appreciated 🙂
Yes ! Check my post on visiting Hanoi with the Hanoi kids. I did it many times and they are awesome 🙂 but try to book in advance and follow up. They are getting pretty busy.
Food wise: check Duong 2 in the old quarter and especially order the Vietnamese pancake ….
Best vege experience: uudam chai
And you need to try the famous egg coffee in the old quarter!
Will you be there on WE?
I’ve had that experience in Hanoi, Nanjing, and Exeter. Seeing such old and new buildings so close together reminds me how relatively young the USA is.
Indeed ! And this is part of the beauty of traveling isnt it? To make you change perspectives and see home from a far broader angle .. Are you living in Hanoi ?
Yes, assuming nothing goes wrong with my VISA renew this coming weekend. I’m something of a worry wort so I always imagine things going wrong (and they usually don’t, of course).
