Dhamma Bhumi

Sat on my third 10-day course at Dhamma Bhumi, Blackheath, NSW, Australia. The site is located at Blue Mountain a protected forest and Unesco heritage site. It’s 2km or 30mins walk from Blackheath train station, which is around 2hour train ride from Sydney city on a direct line. The site is tranquil. Throughout the week, we had a few sunny days, misty and cloudy days, and a few days with light rains. In end February/early March the weather was slightly colder for typical end of summer due to cyclone that hit Queensland. But the rain was never heavy and we were undisturbed and just grateful for the serene and supportive atmosphere. So firtunate that the last day of my course coincided with a day where old students and committee of australian vipassana gather to celebrate the completion of top of pagoda, a project that had been on works for more than a decade.

Such water, has a high concentration of dissolved sulfur compounds, particularly hydrogen sulfide (H2S), which is what gives them the characteristic smell of rotten eggs.

Let's contrast this with Ikaho onsen. Ikaho onsen is famous for 2 types of water. The water near the source at Ikaho shrine, is weakly acidic. The water, including what gushes from the drinking water, is claimed effective for gout, chronic allergic diseases, obesity, when drunk with a...

SATS Premium Lounge Changi T3

One of nice feature of airport travel, especially if you have or card like Priority Pass can enable you, and sometimes with a companion to visit an airport lounge. The space experiences varied, and lounges in Singapore International Changi airport is among the best. During my travel via Changi airport in early January, I visited SATS Premier Lounge at Changi Terminal 1. It has spacious seating area, including private booth and sofa, as well as dining tables. The lounge served hot items (chicken, pork, noodles, and rice) as well as an eviable selection of hard liquor for own-crafted cocktails that you can help yourself too. It served Pol Remy Brut, red and white wine of Bellevie Pavillion-the light Sauvignon Blanc and medium-bodied Merlot respectively. Cheers to Citi Prestige credit card for offering Priority Pass that enabled unlimited lounge access during my travels. The lounge was displaying Christmas decor still on early January. Lots of comfortable seating, in booth format, ar...
