"We wish to pursue the truth no matter where it leads, but to find the truth we need imagination and skepticism both. We will not be afraid to speculate, but we will be careful to distinguish speculation from fact."

My dear friend Veronica recently went on an adventure to Bangkok and Khatmandu. These are just a few of her beautiful photos.
She used an Olympus EPL1.

Interesting what a week of poor sleep, a day of moving and a glass of wine on an empty stomach does to my motor skills.. since settling into my new home a few hours ago, I've managed to: slip and fall on my face in the shower (creating a nice "goose egg" above my left brow), shatter a full glass of wine on the kitchen floor, and then proceed to spill the new glass I poured myself on to my new roommate's couch.. haha smooth first impression
but on a positive note, the noise and clutter of downtown has been replaced by a quiet, clean and peaceful neighborhood. I'm happy to be far from the center of the city, 25 floors closer to earth - away from constant light and noise, midnight screams in the ally and the 3 am Fritz Fries rush only a block away. Feels nice : )
