A quick getaway during new year’s eve in Copenhagen. I didn’t have much expectations for Copenhagen except the usual elements, rain, clouds and wind. But all in all, it wasn’t that bad actually. I had good food, great beer and lotsa fireworks to welcome the new year. A word of caution though, it is really [...]

I’ve decided to spice up the interior of my house with some landscape pictures of places that I’ve been to. After browsing for some time through my pictures archive, I’ve decided that the trip to Cinque Terre was really an enjoyable one, not to mention, that the landscapes totally took my breath away.

Spring It was definitely one of the most memorable season for me to date. My first trip to the States! And if I recalled the nightmare that I had at the airport, it definitely made it to my top ten list of worst travel experience. Lessons learned and forever etched in my heart. I had [...]

I could rarely catch a glimpse of blue sky this winter. It poured viciously most of the days with fat, grey clouds in the sky. But sometimes when there was a day or two of blue sky for a change, I almost went crazy with relief. This is really bad. The way I let the [...]

I’ve been craving for a bowl of piping hot ban mien lately. There are plenty of noodle versions that one can use. In fact, I don’t really have any preference, I love it either way, be it pasta-like flat or spaghetti-like thin or I’ve come to develop a liking for the simpler version, the noodle [...]

Summer is supposed to be a time to be spent outdoors, with friends, music, and plenty of sunshine. At least it seemed to be at other parts of the world, except in Germany because instead of sunshine and warmth, the summer started off with rain, rain, and more rain. It was one of those days, [...]

Summer this year has been as unpredictable as April’s weather so far. There were days when the sweltering heat threatened to drown you with its mercilessly humid air.
