Came back from Taiwan 3 days ago. Now that I am back to my usual routine, back to work, I thought I should write a bit about my 7-days trip while the memory is still fresh. Day One Supposed to take off at 0055hrs, my flight had a two hours delay back because of an […]
Met a most intriguing man in Taipei. Not only is he fascinating to look at, a conversation with him is also thought-provoking and enthralling. From my Chinese name, he prophesied that I should live my life in a low-key manner.
During my previous trip to Tainan, I had some really authentic local food. Most of them have been around for at least 50 years; same old recipes owned by family businesses, passed down from father to son. Listed below, are some of the food I had in Tainan worth mentioning. Sha Cha Sauce We had hot […]
19th May 2018 On a flight to Istanbul, I was served by an extremely tall and friendly air stewardess with blonde hair. It must be the only place where nobody would jokingly ask her about “the air up there” because everybody else is flying at 35,000 feet in the sky. Strangely though, all that was […]
Just got back from a 8 days trip to Italy. Visited Rome and Milan, spent 5 days and 3 days respectively. Quite an eye-opening experience, I especially enjoy walking up and down the cobblestone streets of Rome. In Rome, we have visited most of the obligatory touristy places of interest, snapped a lot of pictures. […]
On my previous trip to Taiwan, I spent a good 7 hours in her Taoyuan International Airport, waiting for the arrival of Constant Companion RR. I knew beforehand about the length of my wait, but boy, was I unprepared for it. Could not get much sleep during the 4 hours on the plane. On top of that, […]
Just returned from a short 3D2N trip to Bangkok with my cousin and cousin-in-law. Had lots of good food and, as always, a relaxing time. We spent the first afternoon in Chatuchak Weekend Market where cousin-in-law did a ton of shopping. For the first time, I did not perspire profusely at the market. Instead of the […]
On the last leg of our day trip to Lantau Island, we found ourselves at the tranquil village of Tai-O. This is my first time here. I enjoy how slow-paced everything is. Took a lot of pictures In Tai-O. Going to share 20 of my favourite 360° photos with you; this will be a really […]
22nd January 2018. Day Trip to Lantau Island. A crowded, sunny afternoon. Luckily, the occasional chilly breeze kept things cool. Nothing much changed about this place since my previous visit many years ago. At the base of Tian Tan Buddha, preparing for the climb up. Very popular tourist attraction indeed. After 268 steps, we have […]
