The Shinkasen (bullet train) is an epitome of Japanese culture. Humble, methodical, attention to detail, reliable & cost efficient...

Had a 4hrs journey for a distance of 550miles at the price of Coventry-London (96miles) train fare, with working wifi

New season.
Like a lot of how I see #MUFC playing. The flair & energy is coming back.

But the scoreline highlights that no matter how much we spend, we are only as good as our weakest player: our GK.

But still, I am excited about the season: Mount-Cunha-Mbeumo👍🏽 #MUNARS

Two structures defining the Lord's Cricket Ground:

The imposing pavilion & the unique media centre. History & modernity staring at each other while the beautiful game gets played between them...

All these years watching this iconic place on tele, but experiencing it in real has been surreal... 😇

2nd oldest Dzong of Bhutan. A special place for every Bhutanese for its cultural & administrative history. Until 1955, Punakha served as the capital of Bhutan (before Thimphu). Housing the remains of Bhutan's unifier, Ngawang Namgyal, it is sacred for all Bhutanese. #traveldiaries🇧🇹
