INTERNATIONAL COMPASS
Borneo - Patrick Monney, RGV Images

Borneo

In Asia there are nooks and crannies that never cease to amaze and always invite one to explore an exotic world that leaves us speechless. Borneo is one of these. In this great island the jungle hides extraordinary flora and fauna, towns lost in the heart of the island, modern and touristic cities and workers with peculiar professions such as gathering swallow nests, fruits of the palms or gold in a mine.

Tiara 420 - Edmundo A. Eguiarte

Tiara 420

It is a very entertaining and certainly difficult task to define: Where does one start to describe this motor yacht? Is it a recreation boat with a fishing spirit or vice versa, as a fishing boat with the benefits of a recreation yacht?

Princess 25 M - Edmundo A. Eguiarte

Princess 25 M

One could expect any less from the flagship of a boatyard and less still from a yacht of more than 25 meters in length. Just a quick glance at the exterior is enough to give us an idea of what this yacht that could be called “the jewel in the crown” of the boatyard represents.

Aquariva 33 - Irma Patiño

Aquariva 33

Aquariva is the smallest member of the Riva Yachts family. Barely ten meters in length, it does not cast aside any elegance and style whatsoever. The presence of fine woods and the absolute care taken in the details makes the Aquariva a very sought after and appreciated possession by collectors.

Kampung Nelayan Restaurante - Patrick Monney

Kampung Nelayan Restaurante

In order to enj oy the produce of the South China Sea, in Kota Kinabalu people go to Kampung Nelaya, where there is a true banquet of dishes. It is a very large restaurant and to one side we can see the aquariums of live fish and shellfish that are taken to the kitchen to be prepared once they are chosen. The jellyfish with chili and sweet and sour sauce is considered a delicacy and the meat satai are always available since they are the foun- dation of Malayan cuisine.

The world's three most expensive paintings - Josu Iturbide

The world's three most expensive paintings

When I was gathering data for writing this article, the references were pretty stable. The prices reached at auction were rising in a regular way but it was hard to surpass the record established two years ago, when a painting by Picasso was sold for 104 million dollars, putting it at the head of the list. Before finalizing the definite order and after checking different sources, everything became incongruous.
