Adventures in Asia!

Burj Al Arab in Dubai

I know we said that we were off to Sydney.. but by some strange twist of events we ended up traveling across Singapore, Malaysia and the U.A.E for the past 3 months. It was a real eye-opener for me to pick-up and go from place to place in short spurts of time... we moved a total of 9 times in the last two months from dinghy hotels to the homes of friends and relatives.

Wants upon a time...

3 months back, Bobz and I packed up and sold out all our household necessities for next to nothing on www.gumtree.com(great place to sell your second hand goods real quick!)... we sold off all the stuff which we picked up off the streets when we first got here.. like furniture, tv, refrigerator, clothes, shoes... and real cheap stuff which we bought like our $900 car, and our $60 washing machine. We made a total of $400 and decided to travel once again with 2 knapsacks and his guitar to wherever life beckons.

And so it came to pass that we did exactly that!

Busking in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

We did not manage to get any recording done as anticipated but what I had was a real enriching experience which taught me about the importance of making good judgment about friends, family and strangers. Our travels has demonstrated to me that no matter which part of the world we're in, we are always confronted by a wheelin' and dealin' maze of lies! And that in order to escape this maze, we will have to make certain choices which requires good judgment and the clarity to see through all the illusions; the Razzle-Dazzle, hard-selling, manipulative lies which enslaves us to material goods and attachments, which isn't necessary for our core happiness! Material things are great as enhancements of our experiences in this life, but too often it is sold as the basic need that will fulfill us beyond true interactions with our fellowmen.

Jammin' with the local crew

There is just so much that we have to share... and both Bobz and I are eager to finish our album and speak our experiences to you all. So, we're back and ready to work again. Thx for all your support once again and I'll end this update with a recent article by Bobz on the topic of judgment...


Judgment - simply a matter of choosing sides
