Amazing Asia!

It's two weeks ago that I returned from my vacation. I went to Asia for six weeks and I really had a great time!

I want to share some photo's to show you how beautiful it was.

Ofcourse the journey started with my flight and a beautiful view of the sky! The clouds looked so soft and inviting....I wanted to take a nap on them :)

I spend quite some time in a lovely place with a very peaceful garden.

I was in Asia during the celebration of Buddha's birthday. There was a lantern parade. The lanterns are made of paper.

In the weeks leading to Buddha's birthday, people hang lanterns in temples and on the streets. The hanging lanterns are symbolic for offerings of light, wisdom and compassion in a world too often filled with darkness and suffering. And how beautiful this gesture is and looks!

Amazing, the contrast between an old temple and modern buildings next to each other.

Ofcourse I had to post some photo's of the beautiful nature.

Say cheese!

I want to introduce my new friend Fleur!

My new friend: Fleur

Fleur is a typical Dutch girl wearing wooden shoes and a costume. This week she will start a new exciting adventure: she will emigrate to Asia! Yes indeed, she is going to start a new life in Asia. She already packed her bags and chose her favorite cheese so she is ready to go! :)

She will miss Holland: sandwiches with cheese, Dutch candies, the wind mills and all the other beautiful Dutch landscapes.

If you ever get the change to visit Holland, I hope you also get the opportunity to visit Keukenhof. Look how amazing these flowers and colours are!

Why is Lotte going to Asia? Well....let me explain. This week I will go on vacation for 6 weeks (!! Yes….6 weeks!! And I have the intention to enjoy every day of it!) to Asia. I'm invited to stay some days at the place of a very nice woman. As a gift for her hospitality and kindness I made Lotte for her as a souvenir/reminder from Holland. So we will fly together to Asia but after 6 weeks I will leave her behind.

Although saying goodbye will be hard, I’m sure she will get a very good life with her new family! :)
