The Crown Jewel of Banff National Park: Lake Louise
Postcards from lake Louise, Alberta, Canadian Rocky Mountains.
It took me a while to decide about the name of the post. What is ‘Porn Bungalow’? And what is ‘Porn Resort’? Depending from where you are coming from, the word “porn” may have different connotations.
And now, that I’ve awakened your curiosity, let’s solve the mystery!
Impressions from Bangkok
What’s different, new and surprising for a first time foreigner in Bangkok in short stories and photos.(reposted)
Last day from our one week trip to Lake Louise was reserved for Lake Moraine. It happened to be a Friday, during COVID-19 restrictions. Little we knew how the day will unfold…
From Lake Louise to the Plain of Six Glaciers Tea House
“The mountains are calling and I must go.” – John Muir
One of the most scenic hikes in the Canadian Rockies, starts at the end of the Lake Louise shoreline trail and ends with stunning glacier views, after climbing through forests and passing by moraines and gravel debris from the Victoria Glacier.
The moderate hike can take 5 to 6 hours with stops for photos. It is recommended to hike in group of fours. Grizzly bears also like the area! We were two with one bear bell, who worked hard to scare the bears. September is also the berry season, so it was a good push for us to go faster through the bushes – especially when you feel the bear smell!
Once out in the opening, you will be surrounded by spectacular mountains with a panorama view of the Lake Louise. Climbing more and passing the Plain of the Six Glaciers Tea House, you will get closer to the glaciers by following the Abbots Pass.

A Halloween Story
“I would like, if I may, to take you on a strange journey.”
Darkness 2019
Toronto’s most wicked street party takes place every year on Halloween night, October 31st. Hundreds of Halloween-dressed revelers converge at the Village (Church & Wellesley): scary zombies, clowns, trumps, witches, skeletons and other bloody creatures being treated by sexy nurses – plus a mixture of funny penguins, high tech robots, big head babies and even a pair of huge dinosaurs.
It was a dark, cold, rainy day – perfect for Halloween.
