How I do my blog

Technical stuff

Within the first six weeks I didn’t changed much. I used the Blogger editor on the Internet and wasn’t really thinking about what to write. I just let go.
For my Photos I used my iPad mini. But I bought a new mobile phone here with a better camera, so I am using that now. Only for panorama pictures I use the iPad, because iOS offers the best option for that.
I make a choice of the best photos and upload them to Google drive. From there I download the photos on my laptop to insert the pictures more easily.
I never got into HTML deeply so I am not really able to use a really good template on my blog. But I changed to use an Editor on my laptop to insert tables and get the photos in a better way to display on the blog.
The editor I use is Windows Live Writer. Maybe not the best tool, but it is okay for my needs.
Now to the interesting part:

How I choose my topic

Choosing a topic to write about got more complicated for me within the last four weeks. In the beginning it was very easy and the ideas came. But at some point I didn’t want to write that much. I wanted to focus more on the things I do in Taiwan, than always have in mind what to write about next Saturday. I also worried a lot about time. Thoughts like: “I have to write” crossed my mind daily. Until  I decided to write more whenever I feel so. This is my blog and this blog should be something nice and passionate. Writing something came to another level and now it is easier for me.
Finding a topic is still not very easy. Sometimes there is a special experience I want to share with you. But sometimes I don’t have a specific idea what to write about. I don’t want to write just something. I want to provide a good perspective on the things I do and the feelings I have.
Concluding, behind this blog are a lot of thoughts and personal ideas.

Let me know what do you want to know. A special blog entry about my work or travelling, friends, spare time, nature, city, nightlife, night markets… There is a lot to write about.

Why Toby and Thelmas Camping is worth travelling any distance to.

Paradise After an amazing, silent night with the calming sound of the ocean in the background, I woke up and got out of my tent to recognize I was in paradise: Camping The campground is only small and offers space for maximum 15 persons. The small group of guests provided the opportunity of a friendly and relaxing atmosph ere. Moreover the bewitching environment, the friendly staff and the amazing food made this campground a priceless experience for me. The price of about 26 € per night included three meals a day (two buffet meals and a breakfast) and free use of all equipment for example Kayaks.  I took a ten minute ride to the next small island everyday.  This small Island was called "the office" It was the only opportunity to get some Internet and a call from my girlfriend. Actually this week was very hard for the relationship. The time difference, a bad connection, we were able hear each other only a few times

Long time no see!

Arriving in Tokyo was a two parted experience. My first thought when I left the airplane was: It's so cold!  And yes, I felt the 30 degree drop from Phillipines to Tokyo.  The cold air soaked me in as soon as I left the airplane. The second thought was: I am going to meet a good friend soon! Ruben and I are friends since we met in school. He decided to go to Tokyo for one year and I decided to go to Taiwan, so the decision was easy to visit Tokyo. The city itself is a very busy, modern, weird, full, vibrant and traditional place at the same time. Nothing like Taipei or Manila. The buildings are large around the touristic parts but get lower as soon as you leave them. I immediately felt lost in the urban jungle. It was freezing in that time and although I got sick we went out every day to see the all the different facettes that Tokyo offers. Another thing you should consider if you are going to visit Tokyo, is that it is super expensive. I spent the money f
