Once Upon a Globe

Once Upon a Globe

Hi! I'm Jamie and I am a street art-obsessed, crochet artist/literature enthusiast/travel addict. I have lived in 6 different countries around the world, travelled to 29 and have recently added videography to my list of hobbies. My videos are primarily about the travelling I do, but also the events around the places I am currently living in. Follow along to see what I get up to!

    Did you visit the National Art Gallery the last time you guys were in KL? Petronas also has its own art gallery but it shifted from Suria KLCC to a new location. About a decade ago, there was an area at the lobby of the old train station for the local artists to exhibit their paintings. I haven't been to many of the art galleries in Malaysia or elsewhere, but so far, my favorite is the art exhibit and giant paintings at Prado Museum in Madrid, Spain.

Some walls of the traditional houses in Europe also have wonderful paintings almost like a beautiful street arts. Let's say, if someone walks in Paris, from one point to another in an hour, I would probably take more than few hours, stopping to admire all the details in architecture, so much intricacies from the facade, and that what happened when I walk along Gran Via to the HRC in Madrid. By looking at the emblem and crest of the premise, I remember about Tony Buzan book, what people used before the creation of numbers. I was falling for Europe, hoping whole heartedly for a posting to Europe, alas got Mumbai instead, not my cup of tea, not a conducive environment to broaden my horizon, alas, I got to see more UNESCO world heritage sites, much more than what I've seen in Spain, but the ones in Spain, have a better definition for my future.
