Shreds of a bizarre world

Here you won't find the pages of a pedantic journal, praises to fantastic places or accounts of memorable encounters. This is a collection of stories, thoughts, images, and most of all odd stuff, even though to someone else it might actually look ordinary. To discern its bizarre side, in fact, special filters are needed: cynicism, fussiness, stubbornness, isolation, impudence, nosiness and nerdiness. All flaws that, in different measure, this semi-nomadic being has got embedded in his genes.

South East Asia disgust test

Thinking of going to South East Asia for an adventurous, fun or relaxing trip? If you are not prepared to face the following scenes it is better for you to change plans before it is too late. Well maybe the aseptic Singapore can be fine, but just that one...

Missionary sex position or atrocious act of cannibalism? - Makati, Manila, Philippines

Huge roaches merrily feasting on the flat corpse of a baby rat - Makati, Manila, Philippines

Greedy bastard! - Bangkok, Thailand

Dead and dry - Pattaya, Thailand
