Mists of Myeon-Dong. Seoul
This is what Seoul is famous for: outstanding street food. And I believe that the epicenter of Seoul's street feast is the night market in Myeon-Dong.
Delicious and full of flavor, it is a truly compelling experience. Above the bustling market of Myeon-Dong, tantalizing clouds of aroma float in the air.

The Grey Paradise. Srinagar
It wasn't the best time to see Srinagar, the capital city of Kashmir. I had hoped to capture visually attractive photographs of the city under a cloak of frost and snow. Instead, I encountered mild temperatures well above zero degrees. It wasn't the beautiful winter Srinagar is famous for; rather, it appeared grey and dirty. It's regretful, but let's be honest, in my work, I try to focus on the people and the vibe of the place, not just the compelling landmarks. Well, maybe just a little bit. Interestingly, due to the poor weather, I had a unique glimpse of the city.
Kashmir, the Paradise on Earth? Perhaps, but this Garden of Eden has multiple faces.

Leh triptic: dogs
Dogs, dogs, dogs. Leh, for me, is the City of Dogs. You need to be cautious to not step on them. Dogs are everywhere, filling every street and corner. At times, they may bark when you pass by, but after a minute, they lose interest and completely ignore you. Life.

Tokyo's spirit
According to my feelings, the underground communication reflects Tokyo itself in some ways. It's well-organized and orderly, yet complex and bustling. Veins of the City.
You can sense business of the City here. Around you are crowds of people and you can observe the perpetual movement of them. The subway becomes for them a place for sleeping, talking or completely immersing theirself in their phone. They use it to commute home or go to parties, work and shopping. Spirit of Tokyo.

Venice to tuk tuks. Bangkok
Before Bangkok was engulfed in concrete, it was called the Venice of the East due to its numerous canals known as Khlongs. Today, the city is symbolized by rickshaws, called tuk-tuks, careening through the vibrant streets of the City of Angels.
