Via Orient is a combination of Latin words ‘via’, meaning road, path or way, and ‘Orient’, denoting east, eastern and above all East Asia. In other words, this website describes my path through Asia, a continent which has enthralled me for more than a decade and has been my hobby and my passion for at least as long.
Since Asia, its languages and cultures occupy a significant time of my life, I have created this website to organise my thoughts as well as to record my personal memories. If anyone else has similar interests and finds use of this website, I have more than surpassed my initial goals.
