Hexie Hao

Asia – China

Hexie Hao, literally harmony, is the graphic story of a journey across China to the soundtrack of the constant, crazy rhythm of eponymous trains. By the window, daydreaming for hours, I saw the miles of countryside rolling by, speckled by thousands of inhabited blocks.

A Seven-Month Trip Across Asia

Asia – Cross-Continent

With a Small Backpack, My Pentax K1000, and Eight Rolls of Film

Back from my seven-month Asia adventure. Haven’t got much to unpack: I travelled with one small backpack that can fit on a plane as a carryon. I didn’t limit my packing space to follow a minimalist fad or to make a statement. I did it so that I would not have to pay the baggage fees and wait like a peasant around the airports’ luggage carousels.

Lombok, Indonesia

Asia – Indonesia

Lombok is an island east of Bali, a part of Indonesia’s West Nusa Tenggara province. Lombok’s unspoiled landscape and preservationist traditions set it well apart from the touristy beach towns of its western neighbour. Lombok’s Sade Village people pride themselves in their freedom from the technological gadgetry most of the world can’t seem to live without.

One Roll, 37 Frames: Jakarta on January 3rd, 2020

The Flood

Early in 2020, Jakarta was hit by a big flood. On January 3rd, I visited Bekasi, a neighbourhood on the eastern border of the city that was heavily affected. The road was crowded. The vehicle delivering the aid had trouble getting through. Garbage trucks and residents’ cars parked on the sides added to the traffic congestion.

With La Sardinia, a Bag of Candy, and a Handful Of Weed

WFor five years, until mid-2018 I either travelled or lived in Asia. With an exception of a nine-month startup experiment in San Francisco, I’ve spent all of that time with Betty. Backpacking. After selling and tossing five cubic feet of things we didn’t really need from our former Toronto apartment, Betty and I moved to China.

A Visit to Tsukiji

Asia — Japan

This August, before visiting the legendary seafood auction I went to Tokyo Camera Fair. I always wanted to immerse myself in the incredible abundance of analogue cameras it’s famous for. Rows of rangefinders, SLRs and other mysterious types, brands and models that’s never been seen in Europe. Many in mint condition. Some still in a box. A pure analogue heaven!

Sang Kancil

Asia — Malaysia

Kancil (an adorable mouse-deer) is a prominent character in Malaysian folklore. The animal is imagined as a tiny, clever creature capable of finding its way in the vast jungles of Southeast Asia. An inspiration to those who may feel small the name has also been adopted by a local manufacturer for a small city car which, undoubtedly, faced competition from larger international brands.

Yangon and Nyang Shwe

Asia — Myanmar

Part 1 of 3: Yangon and Nyang Shwe

We departed Chiang Mai International Airport, due to arrive in Yangon later that day of March 29th, 2016. It’s been over three years since Betty and I have given up our apartment in Toronto and began traveling across Asia. So far we’ve visited eleven countries.

23 Days in Myanmar

A Trip to Taiwan

Asia — Taiwan

In Thailand, school is out for March and April. That’s also when the burning season begins. During this smoky time when the farmers light dry vegetation on fire to clear the path for more crops, it’s best to just go away. Our city, Chiang Mai, is especially bad as it’s surrounded by mountain ranges which prevent winds from carrying the orange smoulder away.
