Slovenia

Ljubljanica river in Ljubljana, Slovenia — 29th May 2015 – Ljubljana, Slovenia Like the lifeblood of a forgotten empire, The Ljubljanica flows though. Ever so slowly. I flow too. Sometimes lost in a newfound current. I am not a innate traveller. Yet, I try to be. I left the Roxannes in the morning today. I had a bus leaving Ljubljana by 3PM, but since there was no way I could give the keys to Roxanne, I decided to leave with them in the morning, when they went for their work. After spending some time in the local McDonalds, I clicked around the Ljubljanica river in the morning. Before […]

Project 365: Day 332 – In love with Ljubljana

Lake bled in Slovenia — 28th May 2015 – Bled, Slovenia Life is not spontaneity or coincidence, I’ve always been told. Its a matter of meticulous planning, and hard work. Maybe true, but not always, as I found out today. That fateful coincidence laughed at me again, and did his smirk. I am a huge fan of couchsurfing, and I have wrote about it multiple times before.

One was a story of humanity, another of spontaneity and another of sheer coincidence. 1) Kashif Last night, me […]

Hanging shoes in Ljubljana, Slovenia — 27th May 2015 – Ljubljana, Slovenia In a street filled with graffiti and some erotic shops, I cranked up my neck to stare at hanging… shoes.

And exploring it, started with the weird Metelkova. The Metelkova mesto is actually a squat, with numerous clubs all playing their own style of music. And a gathering for all kind of artists, who have converted a former military barrack to a hub of art and graffiti. And […]

Project 365: Day 330 – The hanging shoes of Ljubljana

Ljubljana, Slovenia — 26th May 2015 – Ljubljana, Slovenia The wander is still alive. He finds himself Sitting on forlorn benches, and sipping in thoughts. Sometimes we rarely see the bigger picture, Yet we rush in. Eager to join the demure dots. I decided to simply walk through Ljubljana today. And found out it was easier than I thought. Ljubljana is a pretty small city, with an even smaller centre. And everything in the centre is centred around the Ljubljanica river, a small river which might be called stream by some. And the central attraction are the bridges which are located almost every 50 metres […]

singapore eunos metro station — This was the first post of an entire year-long series, which I named ‘Project 365′.
