"live" from berkeley

there have been this protest going on in berkeley, about removing oak trees to build a new gym..
the protesters were staying in the trees and so on.. just like in the movies!!!
but yesterday, the police finally came in and removed them from the premises:

and i was actually at that location watching them remove the items yesterday afternoon!!!
i was at the scene!!! wow! it is not everyday that u witness news acting out in front of u!!!
maybe it is just me.. i too country bum...

actually stuff like protesting & police intervention is nothing major in Berkeley... it just happens ..
but as a singaporean... it will be a rare sight if a protest can be last even 1 hour .. ;)

happy chinese new year!

first photo of spain

this is a photo of Granada, the last muslim stronghold on continential Europe.
this was the best city i visited during this trip, because of the culture experience.
it was wonderful to spend one hour in an arabic teahouse, having an awesome cup of spearmint tea...
a bit of relaxation from the rush of travelling from cities to cities..

more photos will follow soon i promise! :)
