What better month to start my virtual trip to Austria than in the month of love? Amongst the number of european cities I’ve visited, for me Vienna, Austria was by far the most romantic city of all. Even more romantic than Paris. You could wonder if it perhaps depended on whom I went on the…

It’s that time of year again when couples walk hand in hand and everywhere you go there are red roses and heart shaped goods for sale. Everything is in “chocolate.” Chocolate hearts, chocolate bears, chocolate drinks, and chocolate flowers.

I was then likened to a panda…

For the first time this year, today Bangkok citizens felt the first cool breeze of the upcoming winter season. Last year we barely had a day of cool weather, this year seems promising. Since early morning, the sun was out but instead of being hot and humid, it was wonderfully cool averaging around 25 degrees…

The Thunder Gate After we eat at Tokyo, we go pray. Somehow this sequence reminds me of the novel Eat, Pray, Love. As a first time visitor to Tokyo, I had to go see Tokyo’s oldest and most significant temple, the Sensoji-temple or also known as the Asakusa. The temple is dedicated to…
