Vacation during vacation

Just a quick note that we’re alive, and living it up in Taiwan that I’ve gotten lazy about blogging.

I’ve amassed 140km of bike riding on 6 separate trips, enjoyed waking up late and wandering through the markets every morning, caught up slowly with family and friends, and shopped more than we can technically afford, but that’s technicality.

Better update to come after the weekend, with pictures. Right now we’re soaking up the sun and relaxing on the beach in Kenting, the southern most point of Taiwan :)

May Wallpaper

may_wall_1280

Making wallpapers using online Photoshop is difficult, so please bear with the result here (and the slight delay in getting it done).

The picture was taken at Amber Fort just outside of Jaipur, and I fell in love instantly with the vibrant aqua and yellow. This was an outside wall, protected by a corridor, inside the maze of a fort. My favourite part was that it felt extremely out of place amidst the lavish decor of the inner rooms, or next to the intricately carved yellow-hued outer walls. It was a refreshing moment to stumble upon bright colours against a white-washed wall, in the middle of an aging fort nestled in the mountains.

Even if the weather isn’t cooperating yet, I thought the cheerful summery colours would be great for the May wallpaper. Here in Taipei, it’s just begun to get humid and hot, and when we left India, it was definitely summer there. So here’s to hoping that patio season will officially be in session, wherever you are!
