A long overdue post, memories of my 41st birthday, celebrated at the very special Sazanka, Okura. Merely selecting and editing the pictures for this post left me with a warm fuzzy feeling.

They hand you a box
They hand you a boxFour neat lines joined at supremely perfect right anglesYour body, rounded at the edges, pliable, more flesh than muscleSqueezing yourself into shape you triumph, look you say, I fitSkin compacted into nothingnessCells harnessed to behave One day, unexpectedly you spill outOver the edges, across the linesMass dictating it’s ruleslook they say, […]

Basel Trip, Day Two and Three

It is quite like the Dom in Cologne. Its iconic red sandstone walls and twin towers, are easily recognisable in the Basel […]

I especially liked the attention the hotel has paid to little details that made our stay comfortable: extra sockets and USB points in […]

The Lebanese Sajeria Hua!
We tried out The Lebanese Sajeria for lunch. Let me start off by telling you that their location is super, and their drinks were nice. The ginger homemade lemonade was wonderfully made, not too sweet, not too sour, blended perfection. That is where my praise for this place ends. Their interior was sterile holstein cow […]
