Lots of great pics.

LosAngelesBeauty · #**123** Posted **Apr 19, 2008, 9:52 PM**

Very nice! Looks like you were in LA a few years ago when the Market Lofts was still under construction in your pic of Downtown LA.

Tokyo looks like a beefed up version of Taipei. Have you been to Taipei before?

Peter · #**124** Posted **Apr 20, 2008, 4:11 AM**

I really love all of your photos. I will travel like you do some day. It's my dream.

Singapore is awesome. I'd like to see more Singapore!

Have you ever been to Hawaii? I'd like to see some shots from there if you have any!

btw, this is one of my favorite photo threads ever:

That city, Lubeck, is amazing.. and I'm totally going to visit there someday.

Great pictures Freki! I don't believe you have travelled to all these places! I envy you! haha
Where is Boston though!? You are missing one of the best cities in America!

I was there in 2002 and 2006 ( the pics here are from 2006 )

Sadly not yet - it's a place I really want to see, but with all the controvercy I'm not sure it's a good idea to go there before visiting mianland China ( kinda like Israel and the UAE )
But I guess that can be solved with a new passport before going

My best advice is just going for it - it's all about prioritizing

It's a great little place - a small old city on an island in a river with some of the best Hanseic age buildings still around.. packed with small cozy streets and wonderful small cafes

Haha, mate, that would be no problems whatsoever.

Do you really think that people that has been to Taiwan are not allowed to visit China (or vice versa)?
How would you explain that Taiwanese are among the biggest investors in mainland China, and the largest "foreign" communities in many mainland cities are Taiwanese?

Although, I can't blame you for thinking that way, considering the bullshit we're fed about places we don't know much about by our 'unbiased' and 'objective' medias.

I haven't given it much thought, but it wouldn't surpise me if it effects the chance of getting a visa

Today Amsterdam...

^^
Don't worry man, it doesn't! And getting a visa is a non-issue.

FREKI · #**130** Posted **Apr 21, 2008, 1:37 PM**

Nice to know

I'm planning on visiting Hong Kong and Macau this winter - a day trip into "real" China would be pretty cool

stl1991 · #**131** Posted **Apr 23, 2008, 12:59 AM**

how about a visit to St. Louis when your in the U.S?

Beautiful.

I don't know why I love Singapore so much. I guess because it seems very Western to me. It very much resembles LA to me.

DenverDane · #**135** Posted **Apr 29, 2008, 1:48 AM**

Awesome work, FREKI. You have really been around!

I noticed that no matter where you went, (almost) all the places had nice weather. Are you just extremely lucky with the weather or do you generally stay so long that there is bound to be a sunny day?

I dunno - I usually travel in the summer, so that explains half of it and I very much prefere sunny weather when I take my pics...

Thinking back I have been fairly lucky - with the excetion of a short Paris trip ( prior to the my first digtal cam ) the weather have usually been good on my travels..

Today Nice ( the city )
