Top tips and quotes


This is one of my favourite quotes:

"Do not follow where the path may lead... Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail."
Robert Frost

Mr Frost had a few funny insights also, like "In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life - It goes on"...

Among dozens more. :)
You may think about these quotes...


I'm going to start packing. Travel light there and come back loaded. Oh yes! My "Xmas presents season" solved! Hooray! I've spent all day today reading all tips to do good over there...things like bargain, bargain, bargain and stay away when you see somebody getting ready to spit are common advises! Also, most tips warn against working girls and their methods to scam foreign guys who are easy targets. But, above all, all tips refer to the fact that Shanghai is a beautiful, bright, busy, modern city. And that a picture of the Bund (the most modern and tallest side of the city with the ubiquous Pearl Tower) is absolutely a thing to take, especially at night - but only till 10 pm, when the lights go off!!! That's what a call a top tip!

If you don´t know where to go, just go, and it doesn´t matter where you get to but how you go.

I think God already gave her both. Raf, you're in a musical mood these days! Excellent, actually, songs are a great source of quotes. Some of my favourites come from U2.

Hey, thanks to both, you're too kind! :)

I'm trying to revamp my address but as you can see not too many changes, except the cool clock and the indented links (i've been trying to solve that all afternoon to no effect!). In any case, found many cool spots to read...

As for songs, this is my contribution, not just the quote, but the whole lyrics from Kimblee.

Never Fade:

Look at me, Stare inside
Take my place, In my mind
Capture me, Follow through
Validate, Wanting you
It's been a long, long time. Since you been on my mind and I...I must forget about us.
Turned away. What to do.
Let it go. Follow through.
Lost within. Endless eyes.
Lustin' calls. Logic cries.
Baby this seems so right. Baby this seems so wrong.
Hour after hour, so long, day after day, so long, year after year after year.
And now we're here...
Never fade from my mind. Shower me and give me life. Never fade from my mind. Always there when I close my eyes. Never fade from my mind. Shower me and give me life. Never fade from my mind. Always there when I close my eyes...
Hesitate. Pull me in.
Breath on breath. Skin on skin.
Lovin' deep. Fallin fast.
All right here. Let this last.
Here with our lips locked tight. Baby the time is right for us...to forget about us.
Shelter me. Gimme light.
Sexy days. Sensual nights.
Ain't no way, you'll be gone. Cause I'll be here, still holdin' on.
Baby it's been so long. And it could be tonight.
Hour after hour, so long, day after day, so long, year after year after year.
And now we're here...
Never fade from my mind. Shower me and give me life. Never fade rom my mind.
