Fire in my Eyes

Is it normal to think that everything is pretty whenever you go abroad, to a place that is progressive and startlingly different from one's native land? Call it the "Fire in My Eyes" syndrome. Everything seen through the prism of the FME is shiny, new, and tastes of chocolate mixed with rhum. All is well in this part of the world.

View from a Ngong Ping 360 cable car. There's just something about Hong Kong that makes me want to keep coming back. From March 2016.

Views at sundown from the Kota Kinabalu Boardwork- Oceanus Mall Side. Nothing super spectacular about the place per se, but, the sights over the horizon more than made up for the surroundings' lack of sparkle. From May 2016. 

Here's another one from my personal collection. From April 2013. From Montecasino, Italy. 

These eyes, this mind, has a seen a lot, and craves to see even more. For all the ugliness there tends to be in this world, at least God's given us one thing to look forward to- to experience a renewed sense of beauty whenever we travel. So you see, things aren't always all that bad.
