|Taekwondo Bible, Vol.2
6. Ilgiyae(One Skillart)
6-2. Prajna(般若)
This Ilgiyae has no figure. Thus, the ancient telling said: "Non-being becomes 'right seeing' while being is 'false seeing', so it presents itself sometimes as truth and sometimes as falsity, and its clue cannot be known."1) That is, as there is no concrete figure it is right seeing to see it as non-being, while we come to see it through its figure that is expedient means, which is genuinely falsity. And since it has no figure it is sometimes true and sometimes false so that the opponent cannot get a clue of it. This is TAEKWONDO.
This Ilgiyae is, to be compared, like: "Even a step or/ Even a sudden turn/ With its meanings over all directions/ Like the forest of Taebaek mountain,/ The whole of which/ Contains infinite path ways."2) It includes every way and leads to every direction. A man that has no idea of the forest, however, will be lost in it, while it is nothing but what it exactly is so that "Only the wise man can/ Go through every path passing the true one"3) On the other hand, however, the forest of Taebaek mountain cannot a way. For it is neither a path way nor several ones. Therefore, the buddhists say "what is called "the Religion given by Buddha" is not, in fact Buddha-Religion."4) Likewise the so-called Ilgiyae is not really one art. Thus, the Ilgiyae(one skillart) that is said is not really such, therefore it is just called "Ilgiyae."5)
Knowing TAEKWONDO and obtaining Ilgiyae you can do a same thing doing different things and intend nothing particular yet also pursuing pertinaciously your objective. "This has been extended conceptually to be regarded as doing of not doing(爲無爲) by Lao-tsu, as following one's heart's desire not overstepping the boudaries of the right(從心所欲 不踰矩) by Confucius, and Moksa(解脫) or Prajna(Vrajna, 般若) by Buddha."(Ch.6) That is to say, showing no particular intention, you can devote your sincere effort all the more, so that you achieve your objective in the manner that cannot be measured. This is also same as doing both of erasing and picturing yourself.6)
Thus, Lao Tzu said, "<Do> is empty(like a bowl). It may be used but its capacity is never exhausted"7) and Confucius said, "it is impossible to leave <Do> but people don't cares it by themselves. This is why they come to have abuses to be excessive or deficient."8) In addition to that it is not different from Buddhist's truth, "hence Tathagata said 'the whole realm of formulations is the Buddha-Religion'"9), whereas also saying "all phenomena from the very first have of themselves constantly borne the marks of tranquil extinction."10)
To explain this for a moment, since <Do> is empty in its essence it follows the way of doing nothing and since its capacity is never exhausted it can rule everything by doing nothing. This is the reason why Tzu said, "By doing nothing along <Do>, all things will be in order."11) On the other hand, as it is impossible for man to leave <Do> it is also possible to get 'following one's heart's desire not overstepping the boudaries of the right'[從心所欲 不踰矩], which Confucius said of. And it is why common people cannot obtain it just because they don't care it. It means they come to be excessive or deficient. And, because the whole realm of formulations is the Buddha-Religion there is nothing that breaks principle and because it is always the marks of tranquil extinction it is to be realized through Prajna. Therefore, "as a rule, the <Do> of Prajna has nothing either to say it is or is not <Do>, or to say it is or is not ultimate. Fully empty so nothing is not silent, and wide open so nothing is closed to any direction. This is to know that the true entity has no figure so that it can be shaped by any kind of figure and that true brightness has nothing to be brighter so that it has nothing that is not bright."12) It is the explanation of the Master Won Hyo.

We were joined by Cheryl, our new friend from San Pedro, who had previously joined us on our adventure to Iximché.
Originally we had planned for a private shuttle with 6 to 8 people. We were quoted a price of Q2,200 total round trip. Unfortunately, life got in the way for many folks and it came down to just 3 of us. So we booked a variety of shared shuttles for our trip.
Price of a shared shuttle from Panajachel to Monterrico (brief stop in Antigua to change shuttles) = Q175 per person one way
We stayed at the lovely Hotel El Delfin, located right on the beach in Monterrico. We shared a room that had 2 full beds and air conditioning, with private bathroom and shower.
Hotel El Delfin, 1 private room, 3 people, A/C = Q750 total for 2 nights
I always do reviews on TripAdvisor, so pop over there and check out ratings and comments about the hotel. I never go anywhere without checking TripAdvisor first!
|Ahhh, this is the life! The beach at El Delfin, Monterrico, Guatemala
My brain is a bit befuddled and I'm not sure where to start so I think I will just upload the pictures and describe our adventures. Scroll down to the end if you want to know how I got from Monterrico back to Panajachel.
|Reaching for the Pacific Ocean!
|Black sand beach. Super hot on the feet! If you wanted to go in the ocean, you had to run between the shade and the water super quickly so your feet didn't scorch!
|Mmm drinks. Mojito on the left, two frozen margaritas on the right.
|View of the hotel bar and lounging area from the beach. This is where we spent most of our time.
|My sister and my friend checking out the ocean. It was steamy hot! My camera fogged up.
|The pool. So wonderfully cool.
|This was the property next door.
|Horses for riding along the beach!
|We found this board in the hotel AFTER we had booked our tours. 😕
|Drink specials at the bar.
|Bulletins near the reception. Beach cleanup was a nice touch.
|There were tons of adorable dogs hanging around the hotels. They seemed happy and well-fed for the most part.
|My footprints in the black sand at sunset.
|The beach is soooooo long! Great sunsets every night. The black sand cools down and you can stroll along for miles.
|There were mosquitos at night, so bring bug spray. The hotel put out these repellent coils all around the beach bar. There was also a mosquito net over the bed.
|The rooms at El Delfin were simple but nice. We were only in them to sleep. The rest of our time was on the beach or out adventuring!
|Our boat guide, Erick, arriving with our canoe for the mangrove tour. 5am. UGH, so sleepy.
|The mangrove tour was fun! Nothing too thrilling but tranquil and lots of scenery and birds.
|Sunrise over the swamp.
|Lots of Great Egrets all over the mangrove swamp. We got to watch them catch fish for breakfast.
|Our guide had "bien ojos" -- good eyes. He spotted this wee crab up in a tree and pointed him out with his pole.
|There are families who live in the swamp part-time. They sell fish at the market. Sometimes they have to move away because the waters rise up and flood their homes.
|There is a car ferry that takes people from Monterrico to the highway that leads to Taxisco. I guess it's a long drive around.
After the mangrove tour, we strolled back to the hotel for breakfast and relaxing. Monterrico is a small town. The main street is paved and has sidewalks and gardens and lots of shops. It was quite nice. The side roads are all black sand. I will say it again: it is SO HOT there! Do your activities in the morning or late afternoon, and save the midday for relaxing in the shade or in the pool.
|My sister posing with the biggest inflatable unicorn I had ever seen!
|My sister heading to the ocean for a splash.
|Happy sleepy beach doggie.
|Happy sleepy hotel kitty.
|The road that runs along the beach behind the hotels.
|I saw a lot of empty lots and abandoned buildings. Anyone wanna open a beach resort?? 😀
|Free beautiful sunset included with every day!
|This sad little girl wasn't really feeling like selling her wares.
|The little girl and her mom walking thru the hotel.
|It's an armadillo! So cute and will forever remind me of the fun times at Monterrico.
|The stinky fruit! There was a tree growing at the side of the pool that was dropping rotten fruit. They REEKED so bad! I think it is a type of anonna. (Custard apple or soursop or something.)
|There were ATV rentals but I think this fancy one was privately-owned. Also... doggies! :D
|One of the big draws of Monterrico is turtles. They are only around in the winter though, so we missed them.
A great reason to plan a trip back!
I've put several short videos up on YouTube. I took so many videos of the ocean, my camera ran out of batteries! The video below is of our tour thru the mangroves.
The three of us were all going separate ways at the end of this trip. We all shared a shuttle from Monterrico to Antigua on Sunday at 4pm, price of Q100. We had booked it beforehand with a tour agency. The board at the hotel said their shuttle price was Q70, so you may be able to save a few Q by booking with them instead.
We spend a nice night and half-day in Antigua, and then my sister took a shared shuttle to the airport, Cheryl took a different shuttle to San Pedro, and I got on a chicken bus to get to Panajachel.
Getting from Antigua to Panajachel by chicken bus:
From Antigua, the chicken bus went to Chimaltenango for Q5. It was about an hour. I was supposed to get off at the highway ramp, but I missed it and ended up down the street. I just asked which way for the bus to Los Encuentros and the bus driver pointed me up the road and said it was four blocks. Easy peasy.
From Chimal, I got a bus that was going right to Sololá for Q25. That was two hours, maybe a bit more. From there, the regular chicken bus for Q3 down to Pana. I'm getting rather experienced with this form of transportation!
|"What are we doing today, Brain?"
"Same thing we do every day, Pinky. Try to pay the bills."

Found Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's entire novel of 'The Lost World' online, with some lovely original illustrations to accompany the text. Wished I found this earlier, though it probably turned out better this way. I maybe able to post some of the source text I've been working from in my concepts - now that I don't have to type it out.

Cherry Li
Cherry 為美國瑜伽聯盟 500 小時註冊瑜伽老師。縱使練習瑜伽已有十多年的時間,她仍然被瑜伽的療癒力量深深吸引。她練習並教授串聯瑜伽,並在當中認識到身體和心靈的密切關係。
Cherry 於香港大學完成心理學學位、教育文憑及輔導學碩士,過去十年她一直在主流及特殊學校從從事教育工作,主要職責包括教學、輔導、課程發展及研究。學習越多,她越覺得瑜伽練習跟她從事教育及輔導時培育、啟發及療癒別人的工作有很多相似的地方。好奇心驅使下,她現積極去學習正念瑜伽去尋找身心靈的平衡。
學習瑜伽的過程得著很多,Cherry 也很希望用教學及分享去回饋社會。她的教學尊重每位同學的身體骨骼結構,也會給不同選擇去迎合各人身體/程度的需要。她的課堂很踏實,且富挑戰性和趣味,而她最喜歡就是跟學生分享她對生命和瑜伽的愛和熱誠。
Cherry is a Registered Yoga Teacher at the 500-hour level with Yoga Alliance. Having over 10 years of yoga experience, she is still amazed by its healing power. She practises and teaches vinyasa yoga and is captivated by the body-mind connectedness it brings her.
Having received her degree in psychology, post-graduate degree in education and master in counselling from HKU, Cherry has ten years of experience in mainstream and special education including teaching, counselling, curriculum development and research. The more she learns, the more she finds the astonishing resemblance between yoga practice and her previous profession as an educator / a counsellor in nurturing, inspiring and healing people. Out of curiosity, she is now devoted to the search of body-mind-spirit connection through the practice of mindfulness.
She is grateful in gaining so much from yoga and loves to give it back by teaching and sharing. Her teaching respects anatomies of different bodies and offers options for various needs. Her classes are grounding, challenging and most importantly, fun! She would love to dedicate her time to share her love and passion for life and yoga with her students.

Do you set aside time every day to think, to ponder?
If so, where do you do your best thinking? At your desk? On a quiet walk? While you sleep? If you're an extrovert, perhaps you talk it out with a confidant or peer. For me, it is on the bike. For my daughter, it is in her bedroom with the door closed. Wherever, or however, you do it, are you doing enough of it? You may be asking yourself, "How much is enough?" Great question!
In our action-oriented business culture, "too much" thinking is often frowned upon. It looks indecisive, slow or disengaged. By the same token, "analysis paralysis" is quite real and has squandered many opportunities. So, it is important to separate decision-making from pondering. The first is about defining an issue, collecting and weighing facts, and then deciding. Pondering is about possibility, about looking at the "what ifs…" of situations and about creating long-term impact on yourself and others.
I encourage you to think about where you do your best thinking, deciding or pondering, and then make sure you set aside time in that special place to do more of it.
How much time is enough? You decide.
Be prudent.

You cannot get back your loan deposit from a bank. Let's say you need $20,000 to borrow money from a bank once you make that deposit, that $20,000.00 is gone. Comparably, when you make a similar loan deposit with VENTURE, it goes to your shares and you still benefit from your dividends. You can use your dividends to make payments toward your loan. When you clear all of your loan payments you still have the money in your shares. This produces a win-win scenario for everyone who borrows a loan from VENTURE Credit Union. You win by getting the money you need to achieve your goals and you win by keeping your investment alive and maturing.
Unlike the bank, we have a fixed interest rates on our loans.
We have been in existence for over 50 years.
We have a strong asset base from the Point Lisas Industrial Estate.
Our governance is transparent. Our financial accounts are displayed at all of our offices so you can keep abreast of all financial activities within the Credit Union.
An account is classified as inactive or dormant when there has been no member transaction towards his share account in accordance with Section 10 of VENTURE Credit Union's Bye-Laws.
Bye-Law 10 states: "Every member shall subscribe at least $5.00 a week or $20.00 per month to his share capital in the Society."
If the account is deemed inactive, members with inactive accounts will receive written communication from VENTURE Credit Union advising on the current status of the account, deadline for reactivation and steps and documents required to reactivate the account.
The requirements for reactivation are as follows:
a. Utility Bill – no older than 3 months
b. 2 forms of Valid ID
c. Job letter if employment has changed (pay slip also accepted)
d. Purchase of $20.00 in VENTURE shares
e. Continued minimum share purchase of at least $20.00 per month to maintain the account as "active"
Consistent with Bye-Law 12 (b), if the whereabouts of any member are not known to the Society and no claim is made within one year from the date of his last transaction with the Society, the Board may transfer his shares or interest, after deducting any sum due to the Society to an Unclaimed Share Account. Any sums remaining unclaimed in this account for one year shall be transferred to the Reserve Fund.

SCOTT SNYDER Reforges HALL OF JUSTICE as Central Hub for JUSTICE LEAGUE & Other NEW JUSTICE Teams
Scott Snyder's Justice League will have many doors its Hall of Justice, only accessible through a connection by Martian Manhunter - making it what the writer calls an "open and inclusive and mysterious" central hub of the DCU come "New Justice."
Speaking to Newsarama at WonderCon, Snyder described how the first spread of his new Justice League series with artist Jim Cheung has a description of this new version of the Hall of Justice.
"It's this omniscient narration: 'The public knows there are many doors in the Hall of Justice they cannot see. You must be connected by the chairman, the Martian Manhunter, in order to see them. Do you see that one behind the upside-down Coluuan fountain right now? If you see it, welcome and enter,'" Snyder told Newsarama.
The Hall of Justice is a well-known fictional headquarters for the Justice League because of its inclusion in various animated series and comic books since its debut in the Super Friends cartoon during the 1970s. This new version for Snyder's Justice League, however, will have portals utilized by various characters and teams, including the Teen Titans.
Justice League tease also b/c Jim Cheung was born to draw these characters... pic.twitter.com/KR3TXAHqfa— Scott Snyder (@Ssnyder1835) March 22, 2018
The motivation for setting up the Hall of Justice with many doors, Snyder said, is to give other creators the ability to utilize the iconic location in their stories and make the DCU feel more "expansive."
"So when the Benson sisters [— Julie and Shawna Benson, just announced as the new writers on Green Arrow —] tell us that Green Arrow really has a connection to some of the characters on this team," Snyder said, "we say, 'Great, why don't you have him in the Hall of Justice, and we'll have him on this thing, and we'll give him a device that allows him have a portal?'"
The writer wouldn't confirm that there are doors for concepts like the Justice Society of America and the Shazam family, saying "some of those things are really deeply tied to what Geoff [Johns] is doing in Doomsday Clock, so they're not separate; they're just part of that story, so I don't really want to speak to them because they're so tied to the mythology he's creating."
Snyder also said he's getting to know Cheung as they work on the new Justice League series, which launches in June.
"Oh man, he's funny, personable," Snyder said. "We've been out to dinner a few times, and we get along like gangbusters. I told him, this story is his opus. Tell me what you don't want to draw, and I will eliminate it, but here's the Vegas buffet of what I want to do. And he was like, 'Bring all of it.'
"I was like, 'Okay, I'm probably going to run you into the ground,'" Snyder said, 'but we're doing it.'"
The writer also communicated his usual excitement about the upcoming project, crediting both creators and fans for the creation of Justice League and its spin-offs. "What James Tynion and Josh Williamson and Bryan Hill and the Benson sisters and Dan Abnett and Adam Glass have planned puts everything to shame," Snyder said. "I'm so proud to be a part of this line-up, and the biggest thing I would say to the fans and people out there reading this is thank you. Seriously, you've given us the best year at DC creatively, regardless of sales.
"With Brian Michael Bendis here, other creators coming we haven't even announce yet, and the bifurcation of things with Black Label, Zoom, and Ink, you've supported us in every area, and I've never been as happy and excited and inspired."


text: I am officially changing this into Try It Tuesdays instead of Test It, I just like the way that it sounds a lot better, so that is a thing now. Last month I talked about some cosmetics and this month I am focusing on a pair of earrings. These earrings are from the Etsy shop SiamHillTribes, they make a ton of different tassel earrings and things, so let's just start talking about these.

This is definitely too easy for how good it is. The mixture of crackers with the cheddar cheese is to die for! I think it's a new family favorite.
4 large chicken breasts
2 sleeves Ritz crackers
1/4 t salt
1/8 t pepper
1/2 C milk
1 egg
3 C cheddar cheese, grated
1 t dried parsley
1 10 ounce can cream of chicken soup
2 T sour cream
2 T butter
3 oz cream cheese
Cut each chicken breast into 3 large chunks. Grind up the Ritz crackers. I do this in a food processor, but you can easily put them in a bag and crush them with a rolling pin, or put them in a bowl and crush them with a bottom of a cup.
Whisk the milk and egg together. Pour the milk mixture, cheese and cracker crumbs into 3 separate small pans. Toss the salt and pepper into the cracker crumbs and stir the mixture to combine.
Dip each piece of chicken first into the milk, then into the cheese. Press the cheese into the chicken with your fingers. Some of it will fall off when you add it to the cracker crumbs, but it all eventually ends up in the same place, so don't worry about it.
Press the cheesy chicken into the cracker crumbs and press it in. Spray a 9×13 pan with cooking spray and lay the chicken inside the pan. After you have coated all of the chicken and placed it in the baking dish, dump the remaining cheese and cracker crumbs over top of the chicken. Sprinkle the dried parsley over the chicken.
Cover the pan with foil and bake at 400 degrees for about 40 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until the edges of the chicken are golden brown and crispy.
In a medium saucepan combine the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, butter and cream cheese. Stir over medium heat until the sauce is nice and hot. Serve over crispy chicken and garnish with more dried parsley. Enjoy!!

One of the things I love and enjoy doing is making Do-It-Yourself (DIY) travel itineraries for my upcoming trips. I am a self-proclaimed group travel organizer of my family, friends and office mates. Every time we plan a trip, both local and abroad, I always end up being the one who does all the planning from ticket purchasing, accommodation reservation, itinerary, and booking of activities and transfers.
I personally prefer doing my own travel itinerary as opposed to booking my trips through travel agencies to spend less and to have total control and freedom regarding the places I want to visit and activities I want to do.
This is my guide on how I usually plan my travel and the preparations I do before arriving at our destination and coming up with a travel itinerary complete with budget and website links.
First step: Have a Travel Bucket List
List down the places you want to visit and the potential dates when you want to visit them.
I have a personal bucket list of things I want to do before I die and most of the things listed in it are places I want to visit all over the world. At the start of the year, I will look at my bucket list and write down at least 4 places (2 local and 2 foreign trips) I have not been to or I want to go back to. Then I also write down the potential travel dates when I could do my travel putting into consideration the long weekends and the remaining vacation leave I have.
For 2019, my travel goals are Cebu, Bangkok, Japan, and Batanes or Siargao. Some of the 2019 long weekends are Feb. 2-5 (Chinese New Year with one day leave on 4th of Feb), Feb. 23-25 (EDSA People Power), Apr 6-9 (Day of Valor with one day leave on 8th of April), and Aug 17-26 (Ninoy Aquino day and National Heroes Day with four-day leave).
Second step: Book a flight.
Now that you have potential travel destinations and dates, you must book a ticket for your flight. (Side note: Make sure you have an approved visa before booking a flight for countries requiring visas)
I usually wait for promo fares of budget airlines and use apps like Traveloka and Skyscanner to find cheap or affordable flights.
Make sure you register and have an account of your favorite airlines and save the complete name (as appearing in passport) and birth dates of your travel companions, and travel rewards program account number when you are booking your flights.
For 2019, I have flights booked going to Cebu (in February with friends and in March with office mates), Japan and Singapore with family and Thailand with cousins and siblings. In August, I am also planning to do a local backpacking trip with friends.
Third step: Do a lot of research.
After you booked a flight wherein you have actual destination and travel dates, it is time to do a thorough research about your accommodation, places you want to visit, eat at or activities you want to do, transportation you need, and contacts of tour providers. It takes me around four hours of browsing and researching and I bookmark all the websites I will use in making my travel itinerary.
Factors you need to consider in doing your research are budget, duration of travel, the number of people traveling with you, and the activities and places you want to do and visit.
Usually, I would just visit Google and use keywords of the place I will visit, the number of days and itinerary (e.g. Malapascua 2-day itinerary). I also look at the date of the blog post, which should at most be a year old. Then from there, I just click away until I find all the information I need and satisfied that I got everything covered.
For accommodation, I use Airbnb, Agoda and Booking apps or websites. I likewise visit the web page of the hotels or resorts to read about the facilities and services offered by them. The things I consider in choosing an accommodation, aside from the price, are location accessibility (to stores, restaurants and public transportation), must have a WiFi and a clean bathroom. I also look at ratings and reviews to make sure that the establishments provide good service to their customers.
Final Step: Make a travel itinerary.
I use Excel in doing my travel itinerary (because it is easier for me to do the budget computations). Once everything is finalized, I convert it to a PDF file.
Below is a sample of the itinerary I made for my upcoming Malapascua & Kalanggaman trip with DWTL-W friends.
The title includes the place of destination and the travel dates.
The details I write down in the itinerary are as follows (starting from our flight departure until arrival of our return trip): dates, time, activities, items and costs involved, the amount per person and remarks or website links. At the bottom is the total individual budget each person will incur for the entire trip excluding pocket money.
Your final travel itinerary will be very helpful in booking your accommodation, transportation and activities. It will also provide you with an overview of your trip and guide you with your travel schedule. Lastly, you will have more fun and less stress during your actual trip since you were the one who planned everything.
Additional travel tips:
Create a group chat (with your travel buddies) where you could discuss and share details and document files about your trip.
Save all your travel documents or files like hotel reservation confirmation, flight bookings, ticket purchases, and itinerary in your mobile phone. For easy and fast access, I use the Dropbox app and save them offline in one folder.
I hope this blog help you make future travel plans and, if you have questions or suggestions, make sure to leave a comment below.

An implied corkscrew of peel garners the apple.
For days, wholly curved, the fruit has rested here.
The high lights of various mornings have settled

Our advanced systems have solved some of the biggest problems ever faced by companies in the frozen and chilled food industry.
Our groundbreaking ClusterBuster, for example, breaks down frozen blocks of products into individual pieces, IQF, allowing for more accurate weighing and inspecting, and more effective downstream processing.
Then there are our glazing conveyors, which can add value to your products by improving their visible appearance while vastly prolonging their freezer and display life, not to mention increasing yields.
Crosshead Feeder
Synchronising with multihead weighing systems, cross head feeders are used to constantly distribute products into weighing machines and other systems.
Laning Conveyor
If your products won't behave themselves on standard vibratory conveyors, lane conveyors might be just the innovation you need to streamline your processes and boost your efficacy.
Grading Conveyor
Suitable for fines removal and slithers, broken, oversized, undersized, different fractions or otherwise unsatisfactory produce grading. These conveyors will guarantee that your products reach your high standards.
Inspection Conveyor
Inspection conveyors evenly spread your product to ensure that nothing escapes the careful eyes of your quality control team.
Glazing Conveyor
Glazing conveyors add that little something extra to your frozen produce by improving the appearance of deep frozen products.
Metering Conveyor
Metering conveyors create an even feed as well as spread of product. This will guarantee a sustainable input of product across your production line.
ClusterBusters solve one of the biggest challenges facing the frozen food industry: The ability to process individual products.
Spiral Elevator
Split your food production line across multiple levels with our vibratory spiral elevator or lowerator, save space and boost efficiency.

The PresScan helps you understand what is going on in the press section. Felt (water) profiles contain vital information on the performance of the press section.
Three good reasons to use the PresScan
1. Improve overall paper machine performance
2. Proven and solid technology
3. The best value for money with a moderate investment
Optimize the press section
For both the paper maker and the press felt supplier, it is important to know the felt's water content, as it helps to optimize the dewatering. Simply measure before and after an Uhle box or the nip to understand what is happening. Uneven felt profiles may cause poor sheet profiles, such as crowning problems, worn nozzles, etc.
Operator safety
Operator safety has top priority in the industry and sometimes the details make the difference. The PresScan comes with a fold-out handle. At positions where it is necessary, it is easy to keep more distance and still obtain the valuable information from the press felt.

About Us
We seek out the raw, inspirational and extraordinary
Blue Sky Escapes empowers curious, independently-minded travellers to venture into and uncover some of the world's most spectacular destinations.
Whether it's trekking in the quieter corners of the breath-taking Peruvian mountains, wandering with nomadic tribes through Mongolia's otherworldly wilderness or exploring remote villages in the enigmatic Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan, there are some must-experience adventures which can seem daunting to even the most seasoned of travellers.
At Blue Sky Escapes, we offer our expertise and experience in navigating spectacular regions. We specialise in curating one-of-a-kind journeys which are authentic, extraordinary and transcendent; so as to spur you to step out of your comfort zone, discover the world we live in and enrich your sense of self.
We seek to inspire you to go from where you are – both figuratively and literally – to where you want to be. We invite you to be a part of the story, not only as you immerse yourself and seamlessly weave into the tapestry of your surroundings, but also as you take the journey within.
How it works
Browse our Experiences
Take your time to wander through our website and get inspired by our stories and featured experiences to craft an unforgettable adventure.
Get in touch
Fill in the interactive form on our Contact page. Alternatively, you can drop us an email at [email protected] with your basic information, chosen destination, budget considerations, travel period, group size and any other details that you'd like to share with us.
Craft and collaborate
In order to craft a bespoke escape, we'd like to get to know you better (over the phone or via e-mail). We'll profile you and ask behavioural questions relating to, for example, your general fitness level and what you hope to get out of your trip.
We'll then move on to a stage of collaboration with you, which will involve draft journey outlines and discussions to iron out the details. Once finalised, leave it to us to make it all happen.
Prep, briefing, bon voyage
Prep materials like packing lists and all the information you need about the destination and your journey will be sent your way. We will also arrange for a final in-person meeting (preferred) or phone briefing before you set off!
In search of escape
"In my twenties, I worked as a corporate M&A lawyer. My days were long and time off was in short supply. With whatever leave I got each year, I simply wanted to escape – to any far-flung place where I could be uncontactable; where the WiFi was weak; and where I could roam with abandon and experience the extraordinary.
I soon realised, however, that those journeys were not so much escapes from life but rather, a means to discover a truer life.
In a world under constant threat of bigotry, small-mindedness and an over-dependence on unfeeling technology, I was inspired by my journeys to build a business that stands for a more inviting world – a world unlocked and without barriers, brimming with rich experiences which shun discrimination and encourage self-discovery. This is the core of the Blue Sky Escapes philosophy. And sometimes, all we need to do is give ourselves that freedom to experience … just that something else."
Krystal Tan
Founder of Blue Sky Escapes
Migration on a bullock cart, herding calves for milking, riding horses for hours over vast, rolling Mongolian grass plains (and we don't mean trotting around in a fixed circuit with twenty other tourists), picking Boggie (the little Mongolian boy in the family we lived with) out of every heap of cow dung he could find to jump into, and even a magic ger. Thank you Krystal for the wonderful trip last October and we are so grateful we reached out to Blue Sky Escapes for a dramatic, real, life-changing (insert other hyperbolic adjectives) experience – we are looking forward to Bhutan (I saw the wild hemp growing on the sides of the roads) and Peru!
– Tzi Yang Seow and Jillian Soh
Blue Sky Escapes helped my husband and I plan our first trip to Machu Picchu! They took into account our novice nature in hiking, individual dietary restrictions etc and planned the most seamless experience for us. Going on a Peruvian adventure is quite daunting as is because of the numerous places and things to see, these guys got us the best tour guide, who made sure we didn't miss a thing. They planned out a detailed itinerary with restaurant recommendations and packing suggestions which made life very easy for us. I would highly recommend them no matter what kind of adventure you are planning to embark on.
– Henna Thadani
The team at Blue Sky Escapes planned a customised Bhutan trip for our group of 5, taking into account numerous individual requests e.g. dietary restrictions, need for WiFi in the hotel, less strenuous hikes for the less fit, post-hike massages, etc. I highly recommend them for a seamless and well-planned trip itinerary + coordination.
– Karina Tham
Blue Sky Escapes planned our Bhutan trip and it was amazing. They arranged several uniquely local experiences for us (e.g. milking a cow and sampling local Bhutanese dumplings) and we really liked the tour guide BSE personally picked for us. We had a private van – every morning when we entered the van it was spanking clean. The driver and tour guide (arranged by BSE) were very accommodating and helpful. We had a good mix of activities, did some off the beaten track hikes and BSE really tailored the holiday to suit our individual needs (e.g took into consideration our preferences, fitness levels, scheduling constraints etc). We loved the holiday and definitely recommend BSE.
– Esther Foo
I had a stellar time travelling in Bhutan with Blue Sky Escapes. They really took the time to tailor a bespoke experience for me by talking through with me my expectations of the trip. I visited many places that were off the beaten track thanks to Blue Sky who took care to make the necessary arrangements. I would definitely recommend them if you are looking for a rugged, immersive experience in an exotic country that's not the usual tourist fare. Looking forward to exploring Mongolia and perhaps Peru with them in the future.
– Jeanne Lim
Most amazing experience in Mongolia with these folks with impeccable planning and execution. Can't go wrong.
– Yohei Ueno
I highly recommend Blue Sky Escapes for off the beaten path adventures and experiences! Went with them for the Mongolia adventures herding cattle on horseback for 3 days.
– Wei Yao Chin
Just everything you need to get you that life changing experience you've always dreamed of. Exceptionally organised, well-tailored, professional with great communication, on top of stunning and magical locations only locals know about – just priceless.
– Tiffany Steel
Frequently Asked Questions
A "Blue Sky Escape" is a transformative and invigorating experience. Like blue-sky thinking, it opens your mind and breathes life into fresh ideas. It takes you out of your comfort zone and enables you to get under the skin of wherever you're headed. You return with new perspectives and a full heart.
No two journeys are the same. On a Blue Sky Escapes adventure, the traveller takes centre stage in our planning. We're the arch-enemy to the cookie-cutter, pre-set itinerary. We believe that meticulous attention to detail and thoughtful touches are what makes each journey memorable. We want to get to know you and help you experience … just that something else. Our journeys are unique, at times unpredictable and almost always perfectly imperfect.
We invite you to be a part of the story, not only as you immerse yourself and seamlessly weave into the tapestry of your surroundings, but also as you take the journey within. What results is not just memories which will last a lifetime, but a transformation within and a shift in perspective – whether big or small.
Plan your perfect escape by filling in the interactive form on our Contact page. Alternatively, you can call us at +65 6814 6939 or drop us an email at [email protected]. We'd be happy to answer any and all of your questions. No query is too big or small! For more information, find out how it works.
It depends. Please refer to the 'Travel Tips & Insights' section within each destination page to find out more about securing visas.
We only craft private journeys and work with everyone from solo travellers to large groups.
From time to time, we arrange trips which are tailored towards a specific cause and invite travellers to subscribe for the trip.
Costs for our journeys typically start from US$300 per person per day (excluding international/domestic flights), depending on the size of the group and nature of the journey. We'd love to be able to provide precise amounts for each experience but given the bespoke nature of each journey, costs will inevitably vary. However, our experiences are not limited to the well-heeled. We try our best to work with many budgets.
Drawing on our own experiences, we recommend setting aside at least six to eight days for each of our destinations (excluding flight times in and out) so that you have enough time to travel deeper, stimulate your senses and forge a truly memorable journey. We find that allowing yourself that headspace and time makes a big difference in ensuring that each destination is brought to life as you unwind and immerse yourself in your surroundings.
We accept payments via bank transfer, cheque or credit card.
We are headquartered in Singapore and are supported by our partners and teams based abroad and in our highlighted destinations. We also have an office in Peru that focuses on the treks we arrange in the Peruvian Andes.
We work with a carefully selected group of staff, guides and suppliers on the ground, all of whom have deep knowledge and understanding of our destination landscapes. We strive to ensure that our travellers are matched with the best possible guide(s) for their unique needs. Some guides are particularly good with a camera, while others may have great connections with families in remote communities. So whether it's recipes for traditional Mongolian cooking that piques our travellers' interest or the best storytelling visuals for their social media feed, we'll strive to match you with the right person for each experience.
We are proud to be a conscious company in which sustainable travel is central to our philosophy and values; from taking care of our travellers, staff, guides, families and suppliers, to being respectful to the local people we meet, and preserving the pristine environments we travel through. Each journey we craft takes into account all of these components.
All of our staff, guides and suppliers are remunerated fairly. We also offer financial and socio-economic support to the local communities and homestays we send our travellers to, providing them with a source of income from tourism while enabling them to enhance their guest facilities through contributions.
We insist that all our guides and travellers act with the utmost responsibility and sensitivity on their journeys. We do not condone littering or other forms of pollution. With respect to trekking journeys, we consciously advocate for the construction of toilet facilities and the removal of all fluids a requisite distance away from any water source, as well as the burial of all toilet waste. We adhere to these codes of conduct at all times, and encourage every traveller and guide who is a part of each journey to adhere to them too.
In the spirit of social responsibility, our staff, guides and suppliers on the ground periodically visit the local communities and homestays to exchange feedback on the social and environmental impact of our journeys. Not only does this protocol ensure sustainable travel, it also allows us to be discerning about the places we send our travellers to explore so as to avoid any negative social change.
Finally, to mitigate any impact of the carbon footprint we leave behind, we work with One Tree Planted to plant a tree for every traveller we send on a journey.

My name is Liz, and I am agnostic.
When it comes to topics of god's existence, I acknowledge that I have no way of knowing. There is no evidence of god's existence, although absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. I have found myself drawing the ire, regularly, of the religious and atheists alike, as I am a no more than a "fence sitter" to them. How can I not have a strict, passionate, unwavering opinion on such a big topic? Except, I do. In discussions of what many refer to as "organized religion," I reject all theories. If there is a god, capable of creating all we see and much more that we don't, would it not be presumptuous of me, as the science project of an all-powerful deity, to believe that I could ever fully understand this being's existence, form, motivations, and wishes? Our minds have proven to be great tools of discovery, but also gardens of ignorance. We are incapable of understanding much of what is in front of us at this very moment. How could we possibly fully understand that which has never appeared to us?
I can say all of this freely, although not without debate or criticism, because I live in the United States of America. I can say that Christianity is hypocritical, for example. I can remind you that Jesus' death probably did not negate the Old Testament, because you still complain about anyone removing Decalogue – the 10 Commandments, which were introduced in, yes, the Old Testament – from government buildings. I'm free to say that and more, with any amount of snark that I desire, because this is America. And yet, it appears to end there.
While religions are indisputably ideology, they have also become synonymous with certain demographics of people. A lazy correlation, no doubt, but a correlation that has been established nonetheless. In truth, no religion is a race, ethnicity, or gender. Religion is an idea. And we're supposed to be allowed to challenge ideas. But everyone is so scared of what some of us might say, they think that they need to preemptively"defend" others' ideas against ours.
Most common today in the US is the defense against Islamophobia. "Islamophobia" is defined as the "dislike of or prejudice against Islam or Muslims, especially as a political force." Although the exact phrasing varies across different publications, the existence of "politics" is nearly always present. When discussing Islam, most people fail to differentiate between religious Islam and political Islam. The right, in their criticism, focus almost exclusively on the political aspect. The left, in their defense, focus almost exclusively on the religion, as well as the assumed race of the believers, when stating that any criticism of the ideology is Islamophobic. However, the definition of Islamophobia accounts for both: Islam as a religion and/or Islam as a political force.
Political Islam is the marriage of political systems, religious beliefs, and cultures, where secular institutions are inferior to religious ones. Religious authority dominates governing institutions. Instead of a religious belief – which can be, and typically is, amended to suit each individual believer's specific interpretation of an ancient text – political Islam is religious law, where a government invokes ancient text in order to enforce strict adherence to the outdated customs, expectations, and teachings of a "supreme authority," with any deviation resulting in shockingly violent consequences. In Western countries, our laws as secular societies are not dictated to us by the invocations of an almighty god of questionable existence, but rather by the common sense (sometimes) of man and the evolution of society over many, many years.
Arifa Bibi was stoned to death in 2013 for the crime of possessing a cell phone. Ashraf Fayadh was sentenced to death this year for the crime of renouncing Islam. 13-year-old Aisha Ibrahim Duhulow was stoned to death in 2008 for the crime of being raped. Do you hate this? Congratulations, you are Islamophobic.
With political Islam, faith is used as a substitute for reason, and punishments are handed out based on that faith. For this reason, political Islam is not able to be reformed sufficiently for Western integration, and never will be.
And now, in saying all that I've said, I too have met the criteria for being labeled "Islamophobic."
Aside from the political aspects, Islam is the second largest religion in the world at this exact moment. If current trends continue, it will equal Christianity by about 2050, and surpass it by about 2070. And you're not allowed to dislike it. Even if politics were to be entirely removed from consideration tomorrow, there is still a shocking limitation on the ability to question, criticize, and dislike one of the most prominent religions in the world without being branded a bigot, or even be punished for voicing your opinions.
Recently, The Muslim Student Association at San Diego State University joined a growing number of student groups, which span across nearly 80 colleges and universities, by issuing their own demand list. The list, which includes eight total demands of the school's administration, students, and even US leaders, includes the introduction of "a zero tolerance policy," which would explicitly forbid "Islamophobic speech and actions." Similar demands have become common among protests within higher learning institutions.
This doesn't end on campus, either. Evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins has been called "Islamophobic," despite being a vocal critic of not only Islam, but also other major religions. Ayaan Hirsi Ali, who was born into a Muslim family in Somalia and, as a young child, was subjected to female genital mutilation, has also been labeled "Islamophobic" for pointing to the violent practices present in Islam and daring to suggest that Islam needs reformation. Salon even suggested that her speech was "dangerous" and her thoughts "twisted." Numerous former Muslims united under the hashtag #ExMuslimBecause on Twitter, sharing their reasons for leaving the religion, and were promptly labeled "problematic," "hateful," and yes, "Islamophobic."
Politicians, the media, and social justice advocates have pledged their allegiance to the "fight Islamophobia" camp. But fighting "Islamophobia" means fighting thoughts, speech, discussion, debate, and healthy dissent. It means fighting progress and growth. It means fighting understanding and disagreement. Many, myself included, believe that Islam as a religion needs reformation in order to be able to coexist with our society. How is it to be reformed if no one is allowed to point to the areas in which change is needed for fear of having their speech silenced or risk being publicly branded a bigot? Criticism of Islam as a religion is no different from criticism of Christianity. Criticism of Islam as a political force is no different from criticism of Dictatorships.
The immediate correlation between the criticism and dislike of Islam and the term "Islamophobia" suggests that people, particularly in the West, are not mature enough to handle others questioning their chosen beliefs. In removing the ability to openly criticize and question violent aspects of Islam, as both a religion and a political system, the religion itself is reduced to archaic texts and practices in the minds of critics. If critics of Islam are somehow wrong, they will never know it. Closing off the conversation closes off both questions and answers.
Acting in violence, or attempting to get others to act in violence, is bad. But disliking something is pretty much the most American practice that a person can participate in.
