But it is true, and I’m glad someone with no ties to the country whatsoever picked up on the unusual...

If you have heard any of my travel stories, you inevitably know about my many train travels in and across Europe. This L.A. Times article conjured up many rail-related memories not just in me, but also in my dad, who absolutely loves the European rail system.

I’m resurrecting this tumblr partly because I now have time to spend on it again and partly because I’ve been in such a state of euphoria for the past 48 hours (and yes, that is mostly thanks to my beloved Lakers beating the hated Celtics when it mattered the most) that I thought it would be fitting to get back on something that I started as a way of sharing things that make me happy.

kahua o Mali'o
In the Hawaiian language, “kahua o Mali’o” means “place of comfort, pleasure, happiness.” I have decided to call my tumblr this for a couple of reasons.
