Angry birds

by

I doubt Rovio mobile (an entertainement media company based in Finland) expected such a success when launching Angry birds. This smartphone game seduced more than 75 millions of people and has been one of the most popular iPhone application in 67 countries. You go green pigs!

Modern classicals

I like his style a lot.
The loafers match the bag and the trousers. The trousers are slightly raised above the ankle. The t-shirt has cool details and colors. Retro sunglasses, watch and belt. A good illustration of classical items worn with style.

Songkran

by

New Year’s celebrations in Thailand take place from the 13th to the 15th of April. The Songkran festival I experienced in Bangkok wasn’t exactly spiritual and religious (the water is originally meant as a symbol of washing all of the bad away and the use of chalk refers to the way blessings are marked by monks), but it was a lot of fun. Get yourself a water-gun and go play with everyone but be ready to be soaked and covered with chalk.

Legong beauties

by

Legong is a refined dance form Bali characterized by intricate finger movements, complicated footwork, and expressive gestures and facial expressions. Legong probably originated in the 19th century as royal entertainment

Traditional performances of Legong dance and Ramayana can be seen in Ubud. I was fascinated by the intensity of the dancers’ face expressions, their gracefulness and the beauty of their costume.
