With all the festivites going on, Christmas and New Years is undoubtedly one of my favorite time of the year. I get to meet friends, catch up over lovely meals accompanied by weather that is nice and cool in winter. It doesn’t snow in Thailand, but the temperature drops to the mid-twenties (celsius). It’s lovely and cool. …

I feel like I haven’t been to Singapore if I haven’t had Bak Kut Teh. What is it? It’s pork rib soup. What I love about it is that the soup has lots of pepper and as a meal it is not too heavy. We have this dish also in the southern provinces of Thailand…

Like in every country, food comes in many ways and forms. There are always the “elegant” and high end restaurants which just give you an experience to remember and then there’s the “local” kind of foods that most people eat on a day to day basis.

Being around the business district on weekends can be a bit quiet, almost isolated, but on weekdays there is a whole different energy. There are people walking around each going on…

Yes, I’m traveling again. This time though is not to the incredible pyramids of Egypt or the fish market in Japan. I’m in Singapore, the Merlion City where much happens in this tiny island of only 274 sq miles (710 sq km). It’s small yet there is diversity and it is ever changing. The last…

The festive season has begun and with it comes the time for gatherings and reunions. Although we don’t have the whole Christmas feel in Bangkok just yet it is coming. I start to hear Christmas songs and the shops are all changing their displays. Now all we need is abit of snow in Bangkok. So…

I love lazy Sundays. I love it especially when the weather is not so warm outside and there are Christmas songs playing wherever you go. I love the feeling of not having to rush anywhere or having to be at a certain place in time for an appointment. What better day then than to go…

In Tokyo, I discovered quite by accident an unexpectedly good kaiten sushi place on my way to visit the Asakusa. I had to change trains at Ueno and I was hungry, so I walked out the station to find something to eat. It wasn’t the best sushi on earth, but it was definitely worth the…
