Looks like this is a better portal to post web photos. I shall post photos there intermittently.

戈登堡

在瑞典戈登堡旅店,巧遇个精通缅甸近代史的政治学家。人家来给戈登堡大学生上课,顺道给我上课。

He recommand a book. A book that hypotheses a kind of political theory that he argue, fit not only in Indonesia as described by author, but also correspond well to the political mosaic of other south-east asia countries.

希望得空能读一读。

而我,自然和他分享马来西亚的近况

安徒生

我在 Odense 安徒生博物馆,发现最令人叹为观止的展示品。

空无一物的玻璃罩子中静静地躺着这么一块牌子。













Update

Still working on my itinerary in Sweden and Norway. most likely it's going to be like this:

13, 14, 15 nov stockholm
16, 17, 18 nov kiruna, sweden
19 nov narvik, norway
20 nov narvik to oslo

2000+ km. Perhaps the most difficult part of my journey.

Interlude

I try my very best to keep blogging in best possible chronological order, descending order of course. But I can't wait to tell you this.

This is what I saw in Post and Communication Museum, Copenhagen today.



It is about rubber worker what-he-do-in-a-day kind of stuff. Fair enough the description. It is the picture above depict those workers no better than third class dump that bother me quite a bit.

That how we look like in the eye of 20th-century anthropologist, no?

We certainly need more writer like Farish Noor or the late Syed Hussein Alatas to enlighten us, to refute the myth of the lazy native, so to called.

More on Ghent

Climb up the belfry and you get good view of the town

Ghent, Belgium



These sort of message is pretty common in the little town. Nice huh?

Ghent, 比利时

整体上比利时很干净。

不比荷兰或法国或其他的,比利时街道甚少壁画涂鸦。根特就是这样。

不是因为市议局勤劳粉刷。也不是因为比利时青年不爱壁画涂鸦。

因为他们有合法的涂鸦区。就只有这一条街是这个样子。

记得杏林子曾在书中说道,她妈妈也是这样教孩子的。她回忆家中就有这么一道‘民主墙’,唯一能涂鸦的‘民主墙’。

道理一样。
