Quotes from our contributing authors

"I can't help but wonder if the traveller seeks not only the beauty of another land, but to hear the voice inside their heads that has long been hidden by all that is familiar. Maybe that is why I am here."

- Shannon Lamb

 

"From the top of Bromo, a fog approaches and covers the top, completely obscuring the surrounding view. The earth no longer exists and we're transported to the moon."

- Michelle Ong

 

"I am here for the dragon dance, the Chinese acrobats and musicians, Chinese sweets, and the gigantic animal lanterns which seem to have been released from some enchanted zoo: to my left a giraffe, behind me an elephant, before me a Koala, and a fleet of glowing dragons hovering above!"

- Daniel Krieger
