Take a trip

Photo by Kevin Prudon


Little adventures in places with hidden wonders.

The bright hues were beginning to darken. Lights from honking vehicles, lamp posts and nearby shops soon showcased, guiding our curious feet, interested minds and wandering eyes. Several lanterns hung above us, even banners with complex-looking Chinese characters.

Smells of incense, sweat, fried food, fruits being sold in vendors’ carts, aftermaths of light rain and traces of the day’s heat were irresistible. The flavors of Chinese noodles and other quite foreign, truly authentic delicacies danced around in my mouth. My palette was on fire.

Different sounds rung in my ears. Horses’ hooves attached to quaint kalesas cackling along the pavement, engines of cars and motorcycles, mixed and mostly heightened voices of people in contact.

And of course, there was the best kind of company. Thoughts were expressed, antics were shared, and warm memories were made.

Take trips in areas that you haven’t explored, with people who share the same passions you do. It soothes the soul. Or something like that.
