Up and away

Places like Airports never cease to fill me with this familiar feeling of total awareness of surroundings so full of people going somewhere, drowned in their world of unsettling emotions, excited anticipations and wishful retrospections, as they wait to enter this portal called the airplane which after hours of solitude in the crowded discomfort and unfulfilling meals – would leave them in a whole different reality.

Today I fly back to Shanghai, to the familiar hard and exciting reality of life in China; with hopes of returning in a month for good, to this romantic beauty of a city that Amsterdam is, which forever will stay in my heart right beside my first love San Francisco

Amsterdam Evening

On Bright sunny days or cold winter nights;
On dull rainy days or in snowy winter lights;
With old bridges over narrow canals,
and droopy houses along cobblestone streets;
From empty and alluring alleyways,
to busy and crowded market streets;
What a beauty of a city Amsterdam is!

Three years although it has been,
it still evokes the very same feel,
as I felt when I had first seen,
the a beauty of a city that Amsterdam is!

Here are some pictures from a long walk on a friday evening along the canals and streets near Prinsengracht area.
