The forest looks enchanted, didn't think there would be pine trees in Indonesia.

A Big wave of us joined about 5 years ago, the most important thing is that some of us stuck around :) Cheers to five more years!

Australia is a dream trip I'll save for retirement. It's just too far and big to go to for a one or two week trip. A friend who worked there for years said once the PRC navy was parked in the harbour,

I just dump it in the compost bin with the yard waste. They make us put kitty litter in bags, probably because it makes a mess of a truck. I try to make meals from scratch, that's the best way to save

I miss plastic bags. Now we have to buy garbage bags, compost bags, lunch bags, etc. It's ridiculous. Everything is wrapped in 3 layers of plastic and dyed cardboard anyways. If they want to tackle waste

It's more of a hill than a mountain. We have high expectations of what a real mountain is living in the Rocky Mountains :D

There's easier ways of doing hydroponics where you get a single reservoir to grow in and put in an airstone, it doesn't have to cycle. Look up Kratky Hydroponics if you're interested. I might do it in

This is part 2

Trying to up my photography game :DDDD now all I need is a real camera and some decent lenses

Thanks for swinging by @livinguktaiwan, always a pleasure :D

Never been to Austria but that architecture reminds me of St. Petersburg, wonder who copied who :D

Hong Kong is such an awesome city, probably the most interesting one on the planet. You're lucky to have worked there. Forget about Sydney, I'd only go to Australia for the amazing nature.

It was a little windy :D

They sure do, thanks for stopping by

I could spend everyday and all day out there, the city isn't for me

Glad you enjoyed it, hope you enjoy the rest of the weekend

At first I thought you were going to mention people constantly saying hi, or cute squirrels and birds.

Thanks for your thoughtful comment. I'd love to go back to Cuba one day :)

It's a perfect moderate hike that isn't far at all, the road getting there is half the fun, especially if you go from Barrier lake. Might even see a moose by Sibbald Creek if you're lucky.
