I am a big HK food fan! Curry fish ball, waffle, shui mai, grilled squid, stir fry noodle with sweet sauce, wonton noodle, beef noodle, almond tea… my list rages on :9 yum yum yum. This is a total food porn show down post.

Perseverance has a name, Palais Ideal – Hauterives, France

October 30, 2015 in Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes, France, Travel 1,307 comments

Sheer inspiration. Palais Ideal is the embodiment of perseverance. Postman, Ferdinand Cheval, born of humble beginnings with no art education built this in the course of 33 years using only his spare time. Madness has a name too it seems. The late Ferdinand Cheval (1836 to 1924) was just a […]

Azumino, scenic walk haven & free onsen

Easily overseen by tourists. This quiet town has a fabulously scenic walk and has lot of hikes to offer – e.g. Alps Azumino, Mount Hikarujo etc. Whether you choose to visit Hotaka shrine, onsen, wasabi farm or just walking around the town, there is NO CROWD. Peace at last!!

Safe vs Dangerous photo – Safari, South Africa

October 14, 2015 in South Africa, Travel 6 comments

In a safari tour, one needs to know when to give it up. It saddens me greatly that yet another tourist has became lunch. Lions are CARNIVORES. We’re food, period! We are easy snacks that run slower than most animals. Opening the windows / get out of the car is not […]

Maiko for a day in Kyoto, Japan

October 11, 2015 in Japan, Kansai, Travel 1,044 comments

Had a Maiko make over experience and it was breath taking, literately. First of all, starting from the underclothing, breathing feels like a privilege. Every breath becomes an effort. After 2 hours of hair, make up and serious layers of clothing, the faux Maiko me is made. Tata! Asian deluxe me.
