It does not work for me this way, Stan. Normally, when I go on a trip abroad, I would take more consistent pictures, but less interesting or less inspired, if you will.
If you're inclined to go through 25+ pictures - have a look here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1H7burQbgc8DiRi5SPYFheKR11tcBBRPN I've just returned from a business trip to China. I had few evenings and one full day where I could take pictures and generally not be in the state of work. All pictures are taken with Oly EM-1 and Oly 25/1.8 - nifty fifty, which is very nifty indeed, as far as technical quality is concerned. They are ok-ish, but they are not spectacular. I am still trying to find a different rendering of this or that photo, but... I don't have any particular issue with my muse. She is just ever so slightly bored, as always and she lets me keep on going like this.
