Hot Shop In The City
Two months a go, when I was enjoying my (another) holiday, I bumped into Bart in Cazbar at lunch time. The last time I saw him was probably in our wedding, as he had relocated to Bali and we moved to Scotland, so it was a nice surprise to see him again. He told me [...]
Little Something For Christmas
Recession? What recession? Some people are literally showered with money, and if you and your mega-rich friends have an extra million or two to spend, British newspaper’s The Sun’s has some ideas about the most opulent and OTT presents for Christmas this year: Iphone 3GS Supreme, contains 271g of 22-carat gold and almost 200 diamonds.

Hello From Down Under (3) – G'day!
Last Friday was the day of that marked our 2-week settlement in Perth. But we are still in the adjustment phase, where we compare everything here with what we used to have back home. From what I’ve learned in my settlement course 2 years a go when I moved to Scotland, normally the first phase [...]
Hello From Down Under (2) – The First Shocking Moments

We were discussing the best option to get into our temporary apartment (Emirates [...]

Foot Notes
Head note (what do you call a note before footnote?): this post is about, what else, feet. And shoes. Again. Prepare to be bored to death. Last weekend was a busy one. Woke up really early – 4.30 AM to be exact – last Friday to get ready, mostly to sit down and pull myself [...]
The End of An Era (?)
It’s official. Bugils Jakarta (I can never know the right spell. Is it Bugil’s or Bugils? BuGils or BuGil’s?) will hold their very last party in December 13th. We have heard the rumour about Bugils closing down forever, but this time it is for real. It should be official, because the bar throws the countdown [...]
Something Scottish For Today
You might not realise that Donald Trump is half Scottish. But it is the only reason why he insists on building the golf resort in Scotland, surrounding his mansion (which is called ‘The Donald’ by his ex wife Ivanka) in Balmedie, north of Aberdeen. Trump was reportedly considered more than 200 sites in Europe before [...]
