5 reasons not to postpone that adventure. Years ago I spent an afternoon in a small town called Sigsig. About 60 km from Cuenca, in Ecuador.

5 reasons not to postpone that adventure. Fruit of hundred fragrances. Lunar new year was spent at my parents’ home. This is the passion fruit vine, one of the products of my father’s guerilla gardening.

In Chinese, the passion fruit is sometimes transcribed as ‘百香果‘ which literally means fruit of hundred fragrances. This entry was posted in Earth Hugger. And tagged the passion.

5 reasons not to postpone that adventure. Cycled past some yellow saraca trees on Sunday. The yellow flowers grow like fans encircling the old tree trunk.

5 reasons not to postpone that adventure. Horoscopes are fun. Regardless of whether you believe in them. But that’s what makes it fun: something to be taken light heartedly.
