PEACE
On the eve of our new year I was sitting at home finalising details on a project I had been quietly working on for much of 2015. Los Angeles is not the most imaginative city when it comes to festivities … Continue reading PEACE

It is at this time of the year when I attempt to remind all those that we serve throughout the year that Geisha makes the perfect gift. I am sure you will agree that it does indeed, or should I … Continue reading Tis The Season
The fact is…
Just a few words. I am well aware that I have not been contributing a great deal of content of late, with the main contributing factor being that I am writing a book of short stories. Yes–I know! Very exciting if I may say so myself. Promise to keep you updated xoBali. Continue reading The fact is…

OMG Bali!
When I first came to this country I could scarcely drive. Coming from Europe, driving was seldom required and one might say impractical. All the same, I had somehow passed my test, and in the beginning drove in Los Angeles on my international license. I purchased a VW Beetle, an old one, which I loved. I had learnt to drive on a stick but it had been sometime since I had actually changed gears. What a mess! It would take me about five, sweat inducing minutes to travel but a hundreds meters. The stalling! The complete lack of comprehension of … Continue reading OMG Bali!
On 7th
I moved into my new office space on the 1st and I have to say it has yet to make up its mind, design speaking that is. I have no idea which direction to take. Actually what I should say is that I am all over the place. Korea Town in Los Angeles is a vibrant hub in the city. There is no other part of town that compares. Below me are Korean eateries and watering holes, one in particular is heavily frequented by an amalgamation of OG Korean “business” men along with bearded Hipsters with leggy girlfriends in tow. At … Continue reading On 7th

All Consuming
Well the thing is, the World Cup has held me captive since the first whistle blow. I have been completely enthralled, even though England was knocked out in the early stages. I expected it, we all did, and it hurt, but then one must accept defeat and move on. I can honestly say, I have been having a spectacular time. This past Saturday I went with some friends to a favourite destination in the city to watch the games. The crowd was particularly rowdy and 95 percent French. “Allez les Bleus” was chanted most of the 90 mins and Champagne … Continue reading All Consuming
Down Lexington
In April the city was still so very cold. I walked the elongated avenues at the required city pace or better. At 8am sharp before heading down Lexington each morning, I would stop by the fruit cart stand on the … Continue reading Down Lexington
