From late August to early September, I traveled around Berlin, Germany and Portland, Oregon, USA. Berlin was only 48 hours long, and Portland was a very hectic trip that also served as a technical training session. Looking back, I realized that I should have stayed longer. I think I was using all my energy to prioritize the tough travel with time difference and completing the things I had planned. I had initially planned to create many works in each city, but unfortunately there were only a few that I could post on my web page. However, when I close my eyes and calm my mind, I recall the scenes I saw in each city. They are not glittering tourist destinations, but quiet, silent scenes. I vowed to travel again someday.
