Humans are beautiful only when getting along with nature, not necessarily when conquering them.
As mom Kangaroo is carrying her baby in her pouch, humans should embrace the planet when living in it, by not disturbing sleeping koala and building box beach houses without contaminating sources in them.

We should start to rewrite textbooks, including many exceptions.

A long day finished by an amazing Korean Soon Tofu soup in Melbourne, Australia. Much better than expected!
6 am, leaving my hotel; 9 pm, finishing dinner! Strolling time!

Nature is great! Koala, Kangaroo, and the 2nd largest tree species in the world, just after one in Yosemite or Red woods, California.
12 Apostles, Australia, is the highlight of today's trip.

Nature is so amazing, and trips teach it.

Embarking on my 17-day trip to Australia to give 3 talks, including an opening plenary talk at a conference in Gold Coast. I combine it with a vacation. 24h from door to door & I've stayed up for 21h, so I'll sleep well in a plane.

Invention often comes from a necessity or by accident.
I was frying bacon, mushroom & garlic that accompany rice, but found no steamed rice. I quickly searched for alternatives, finding potato & inventing Moon fries!
Recipe: all grilled, served with cucumber & soybean paste!
