Bangkok, beyond the ghettos of tourists

We had the opportunity to enter the city through the main gate, not for the guest. A couple of Francesca's friends, she thai, They put us up in their house and showed us their city.. And there, to summarize, everything gained charm and realism compared to the terrifying Bangkok (valid for all of Thailand in my opinion) of so many travelers who flock madly to Khao San Road and surrounding areas (backpacker neighborhood).

Ethiopia, ten images

North shows its history with the high forehead, knowing that their kings were great and that his story is beautiful. The south is primtivo, their ancestral tribes are, frozen in time. The people of Ethiopia, the three times I was there, I found girls, rogue, generous, educated and too much weight in their eyes. There was a certain sadness, a field alive and quiet and a free cities.

The Great Ocean Road: driving over the ocean

I was not to return to despair when I would find locked in a traffic jam or when the road would give me no more than trivial kilometers of asphalt. I said I would remember while taking turns himself over the ocean south along the Australian coast through the Great Ocean Road.

-Do you remember when it first happened? -Not, I do not know. It was little by little. The first time it comes to mind was a young woman. Stood in front of me, I contour my head, he folded it and began to take some horrible photos in which she came out in the foreground ...

Kenya, ten images

A coastline of white sand and blue sea, a decrepit train and wonderful sailing time, some parks where the senses never rest, a cosmopolitan capital, sulfur lake water, some tribes of the Pleistocene, some crop fields where everything grows, a painful urban poverty and cheerful people and capable. Kenya could be the country that best sums Africa.

Tanzania, ten images

It is the cathedral of African wildlife. Its parks are majestic, probably in absolute terms, em landscapes and animals, the best in the c0ntinente. His reputation is deserved, It is charged in howls of hyenas and mud footsteps of eternal herds of ungulates. The Great Migration is the natural spectacle more imposing than ever beheld.

Hongcun, the mirror villa

The central plaza is liquid and the sidewalk surrounds a lagoon in which red fish swim, mistaken for the reflection of Chinese lanterns.. It is a round mirror where you look at the stone houses to see that they have barely been affected by the passage of time.

Kruger: partly cloudy

The big South African park was a task waiting list for years. Along the way followed before a few African parks. My gaze was no longer the same as when I had read, imagined and tasted like words that have be savored soul.

Mongolia: infinite horizon

Simply, it does not have an end. It is the most distant and imprecise horizon I have ever observed. I look at it again ... I appreciate with relative clarity the lines that mark the end of the enormous green plain on which my feet are planted.

Zambia, ten images

In the parks of Zambia is heard and contemplated the lions in their hunting and nap routines. Animals seem to own everything, of a nature that borders on perfeccción. Kenya and Tanzania are perhaps most spectacular and filled with wildlife parks, but Zambia did my favorite safaris, especially in the fabulous Lower Zambezi and South Luangwa.

Shanghai: neon lights and karaokes

Shanghai appeared to us messy without deciding where the skyscrapers end and where the smell of the lacquered duck begins. We held the camera crew with a grimace of doubt, looking at buildings stretched up and stunned by the noise of scrap metal at ground level.

Masai Mara: the spell of Africa

It has written almost all of the Masai Mara, but that does not stop remains a magical place, one on earth, where one really enters the "evil Africa", which leaves behind forever part of what was, and enters a space you always want to come back.

Zimbabwe, ten images

Zimbabwe is dust and stone. A country almost dead, a ghost that survives by inertia, for wild. His field is cruel, nice, messy. Zimbabwe is the Africa of yesterday. Its people are cultured and friendly but in their faces you can sense the disenchantment of everything that they are not allowed to be.. Zimbabwe kills itself in its past without knowing if it will be born again.
