glorioso islands

glorioso islands, benfica

estava eu a estudar a geografia de madagáscar e que vejo no oceano? as ilhas do glorioso!

será que foram fundadas por algum benfiquista moçambicano? :)

small victories

...

yesterday the clerk at the postoffice gave up and spoke to me in chinese (which was better than his english) and a lady in the queue even told me my chinese was good :)

persistence seems to be paying off!

tanned delusions

there must be a color named “malaysian blue” – if there isn’t, i think i’ll name it. it’s the color of the sea in malaysia, the impossible mixture of green and blue, unbelievably dreamy and beautiful.

sunny malaysia and a year older

:)


the water was as warm and clear as promised. the sand was white and there were lots and lots of colorful fish swimming in amazing coral reefs. our week in redang island was short and sweet, but felt like a month away from shanghai.

malaysia caught me off guard in many aspects, but made such an impression on both of us that i can see us living in kuala lumpur in the future. what an exquisite mixture of people, architecture, colors, cultures, languages…

more on this soon. meanwhile, thank you to everybody who wrote or twitted me happy birthday! turning 26 on the beach and sharing the cake with impromptu friends was pretty neat. :) and now, on to another brilliant year!
