Because the world is round it turns me on
Because the world is round..
Because the wind is high it blows my mind
Because the wind is high..
Love is old, love is new
Love is old, love is new
Love is all, love is you
Because the sky is blue it makes me cry
Because the sky is blue it makes me cry
Because the sky is blue..
[Saigon's sky]Da Lat's bu'n bo` - "200.000VND"
We paid... "200.000VND" for that breakfast.
Da Lat's bu'n bo` is for ever memorable :]. So is the lady in yellow.
Besides, I'm always in love with this sort of architecture, "street-food-architecture".
Luis Barragan’s memories of the apocryphal pueblo of his youth
“My earliest childhood memories are related to a ranch my family owned near the village of Mazamitla. It was a pueblo with hills, formed by houses with tile roofs and immense eaves to shield the passersby from the heavy rains which fall in that area. Even the earth’s color was interesting because, it was red earth. In this village, the water distribution system consisted of great gutted logs, in the form of troughs, which ran on a support structure of tree forks, 5 meters high, above the roofs. This aqueduct crossed over the town, reaching the patios, where there were stone fountains to receive the water. The patios housed the stables, with cows and chickens all together. Outside, in the street, there were iron rings to tie the horses. The channeled logs, covered with moss, dripped water all over town, of course, it gave this village an ambience of a fairytale. No. There are no photographs. I have only its memory”.
