Possibly one of the smallest airport in the world? Siargao Airport in Surigao, Philippines I took this picture on our flights from Siargao to Cebu City.

I’ve only been in Paris for a day and the rest of the week I was stuck in the office of my former employer in another town in France. I spent the whole day walking around Paris looking at various landmarks and I saw this cool “headless” street performer near Notre Dame. He wasn’t [...]
