How I got clean air in my apartment in Beijing
I just finished a week of trying to find the right air purifying solution for my home, and since it is high time for a new blog post, here is my little guide to breathable air in Beijing: November 2011 was the first time I came to Beijing. In retrospective, that visit was a very…

Danshui Fisherman’s Wharf Time Lapse

The bridge is called “Lover’s bridge”, and (oh the irony) it makes couples break up!! Apparently if you walk…
