La lección que me enseñó Vietnam
Vivir en Vietnam sin hablar el idioma es una lección constante de humildad. Una reflexión personal sobre idioma, cultura, malentendidos cotidianos y la dificultad de comprender de verdad.

Mașina de cusut
Acum, că mătasea fără formă prinsă în acul mașinii de cusut văzută la Muzeul Áo Dài din Saigon mi-a adus aminte de cât de talentată era mamaia la croit, cât de măiastră era mâna ei cu acul de cusut, cred că am să încep lucrul la un alt roman, de data asta despre România și…

The Fondness of Past Travels
There is a fondness to coming back to a dearly beautiful place, on a lovely beach she basically had, now as back then, all to herself, to stepping again in a nice little tailor shop where she had bought summer dresses or checking the flea market to look for wonderfully embroidered silk slippers. Her heart…

The French Quarter of Dalat: There is Vintage in Ruin
They say it’s disrepair that the beautiful colonial villas from the French Quarter in Dalat have fallen into, for lack of interest, investment or both, but I reckon it’s also despair. Maybe it’s disrepair as payback for decades of oppression and exploitation, the once-upon-a-time show of grandeur from the long gone oppressors. Could be it’s…

Los aires nuevos de mi verano eterno
Te sumerges en una tormenta de emociones cuando cometes un cambio de envergadura continental — literalmente, al cambiar de continente. No es solo un cambio geográfico: la amalgama de emociones sacude los sentidos. Estos nuevos sentimientos se ven provocados por todo lo nuevo que experimentan todos los sentidos: miradas y vistas, olores, sabores, incluso tactos…

Sleeping Among Dragon-spat Jade Islands
A place called the bay of the descending dragon, where fewer than 1.600 people live mostly on floating villages in shallow waters, plying tens of species of fish and other hundreds types of mollusks and cultivating marine plants and algae while also navigating among almost 2.000 islands and islets qualifies in my book. Legend has…

Greener than the greenest green in Cat Cat
Vietnam is full of green, even in towns and villages, on beaches and in hotel rooms and bathrooms, because tropical rains can fall at any given moment within the season and I suspect people don´t ever have to water any plants, not even the ones they seem to have planted or kept in pots around…

Conversación en la Ciudad Púrpura
La familia es para muchos como una ciudadela: un espacio amurallado, hecho para estar cerrado o al menos delimitado a la vez que fortificado, accesible por puertas que se quedan abiertas a veces como las de la Ciudad Púrpura hoy en día, en el horario de visitas y que otras veces permanecen cerradas al público,…

My Best Friend
*** SPOILER alert: this is not the kind of BFF description where you’d read it’s the person that knows you best, understands you perfectly, and sometimes don´t even have to talk to in order to convey any message whatsoever, since they know exactly what you´re thinking. I am not saying such people are impossible, just…

De la Fane Friptu´ la Șoricelu´
Pe atunci nu știam, dar acum iată că, de la adăpostul perspectivei, îmi aduc aminte de locurile astea două din Vietnam exact așa cum au fost: începutul și punctul final ale unei luni ieșite din comun. A fost o lună de vară extraordinară pentru că a fost o ruptură totală de rutina și obișnuința zilelor…

Amintiri vietnameze cu miros de stejar
Am întins mâna pe raftul cu parfumuri pentru locuință și am apropiat testerul unui lichid uleios de culoarea rășinii, cu miros promis și anunțat pe etichetă: bujor și stejar. Nu știu ce fel de bujor era, căci am simțit doar izul proaspăt de stejar, exact așa cum îl simțisem la munte, în vară, cu mai…

Stranded on Cù Lao Chàm
And then it started to pour – nothing that different to basically any day in the monsoon season on this realm. Only it never stopped until the next evening, and it came with thunderstorm and lightning, with the occasional power cut and with darkened skies. The day before, the clear skies, the crystal water, the…
