Ta Prohm (Tomb Raider)

Ta Prohm is one of more than 1,000 temples in the Angkor Wat complex in Cambodia. Built around 1186AD, it was a Mahayana Buddhist monastery. Above is one of the 4 gates to the temple with four heads of my Lord Buddha. The locals call it “Tomb Raider” since some of the most spectacular scenes of the movie with Angelina Jolie were shot here. For centuries and centuries (remember in saecula…

Frida Kahlo's Blue House

Frida Kahlo’s Blue House* in Coyoacán, Mexico City. You need to book in advance. That picture was taken after the worst of COVID, as you can see by the masks. Not too much crowd then. Frida in the garden with one of her favourite dogs, called a Xoloitzcuintle, a hairless dog. She and Diego had several. Part of their constant ‘rehab’ of Mexican culture. Frida almost always dressed in traditional…

A Small Town In Flanders, Cont.d

Previously: My ancestors on my father’s side come a small town in Flanders: Kortrijk. My parents traced the family roots all the way back to Carel Onraet, born in Kortrijk or Courtrai in 1531. After many trips to Belgium over the years, I finally made a detour to Kortrijk: One historic landmark of Kortrijk is the Béguinage, founded in 1238. The 41 remaining houses were built in the 1600’s. My…

A Small Town In Flanders

Kortrijk, land of my fathers My family, on my father’s side, comes from a small town in West Flanders: Kortrijk in Flemish, Courtrai in French. Going back to the small Roman town of Cortoriacum in 43AD, it once was one of the richest cities of the region, a major centre of linen and wool. Cotton was not common in Europe until the 18th or 19th century. Wool was the main cloth. The belfry of…

Street Art, Singapore

At the market. Why is the guy on the right not working? Little India. Singapore. Clarke quay. The old warehouses have been transformed. There’s great ice-cream around the corner to the right. “Letter writer. 12 January 1969.” In the old days, professional writers helped illiterate people write love letters or official documents. See how the letter writer holds his brush? They also helped as…
