Happy Ishtar? :)

Some bits and bobs I’ve been looking through this extremely humid Easter Sunday in the tropics.

I love vintage photographs! Some though, because of the quality make the photo a wee bit creepy, but otherwise, to me anyway, it adds to the texture of what was shot. Check out these pictures of circus performers back in the day: http://dangerousminds.net/comments/color_photographs_of_circus_performers_1940_50

I love to travel and travel lightly. I won’t say I’m a total backpacker, as I don’t think I could handle a hostel (I like having my private bathroom that I needn’t share with the entire floor for example), but I don’t mind not staying at fancy resorts. Minimum requirement is a clean bathroom (see a theme?). Anyway, I saw this and it made absolute sense to me. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/04/15/master-traveler-tips-_n_5126467.html?ncid=fcbklnkushpmg00000063
