I’ve recently discovered a rather addictive game called GeoGuessr, and it is a real challenge indeed, especially for those who claim to be real Geography nerds and seasoned travellers! Basically it shows you random spots from around the world in Google Map Street View, and you have to guess where in the world you are…
When I travel, my preferred luggage of choice is usually a suitcase, something you can wheel around, something with sufficient space for me to toss all my clothes in. I am not the neatest person by nature, backpacks drive me nuts because you have to be pretty organized to keep everything compact and within easy…
Here’s a home grown project that I seriously adore – Democratic Society is a Singaporean outfit that collaborates with various local and Asian designers to produce thoughtful and seriously beautiful souvenirs that you’ll be more than happy to bring home with you. These aren’t the “dime a dozen” sort you get for cheap at the…
One of the big news from last week is that Singapore is releasing new coin designs in 2013! It’s apparently been 28 years since we’ve had new coins (the last time we changed them was way back in 1985), and since we revamped our notes back in 1999, it’s probably about time for a new…
Here’s a really fun ad campaign by Expedia UK conceived by O&M London, which makes use of the unique 3-letter IATA tags assigned to each airport around the world to form fun sentences. It’s really creative and I love the way they used ‘real’ airport tags to form the words, and the passport stamp caption…
These luggage bags modelled after old-style steamer trunks really bring back the nostalgic, old-school glamour to travelling. Of couse these days I wouldn’t trust these beauties to the rough hands of airport luggage handlers – I’ll save it for carry-on luggage or the day I get around by private jet (hah! sweet dreams indeed!) But…
Young Kim is Suitman and takes awesome pictures around the world all in his awesome suit. It’s pretty incongruous, this Korean dude in a fine suit with a deadpan look on his face, standing around fruit stalls in Ethiopia or sitting atop a kiddy ride, but all this was borne from Young Kim’s sense of…
Keith Loutit is a Sydney photographer and filmmaker now based in Singapore, and he’s produced a really interesting series of videos documenting various cities around the world in miniature. Check out the Singapore one! It’s really awesome… The Lion City from Keith Loutit on Vimeo. I’ve seen timelapse videos, but this one is a little…
I knew Google Maps was pretty amazing – Google Maps Street View is both fascinating in offering a 3D view and slightly creepy when you Google your own address and see your house standing right there. So it seems obvious that you could check out various famous locations from around the world as well –…
One of the projects I was busy with earlier this year involved me running around Singapore and being a total blogger, taking pictures of everywhere I’d been and everything I’d eaten. About 2 months of feverish writing, photo-taking and lots of support from my friends (thanks everyone for your patience and help!), I can finally…
