“A single village in China is responsible for cranking out 60% of the world’s paintings. The overwhelming majority of the paintings are slavish reproductions of famous paintings. The artists doing the work are very talented, however, and an organization called Regional asked some of the artists to paint themselves. The results are incredible.”

Welcome (back)! Maxasia has finally returned after a relatively long hiatus. I wasn’t sure what type of blog I wanted and had no time to devote to it. I’ve played with Tumblr for a while but found it too limiting, and thus decided to go back to my old love: Wordpress.
So here it is, the whole new Maxasia! But more than a regular blog, this will be the place where I post links, videos and photos. It has now became my “lifestream”. I hope you’ll enjoy it, thanks for reading!
I didn’t plan to die in 2036, but if a german schoolboy correcting the NASA says so… Who knows, maybe Thailand’s time warp will protect us!
