I almost don’t have the guts to crawl back into blog writing. Let’s do a recap of the year that technically didn’t happen. Warning, photos are unedited, it maybe triggering. As usual, I am sharing pre-purchase decision making process, delivery experience and product commentary. This review is based on 2 months’ wear. Before we go into all the details, please be aware that I have… My skincare reviews always take forever to prepare, because I want to have finished at least half if not the whole product. Is that too much to ask? Anyways, here’s my thought on the Good… Trace des douanier, the easier hiking trail within Trace de la Grande Falaise. Sharing what to expect from this hike from a leisure hiker. Easy hike, Anse Bertrande, Grande Terre, Guadeloupe Although this isn’t a UNESCO site like Canterbury, this cathedral is pretty old. It was built in 1077–1893. It is the OLDEST continuous Christian worship in Britain. Interesting story of selfless sacrifice to save a friend too. Best part yet? Zero crowd!!! Typhoon? Nothing stops me, I had an indestructible jacket. Nagasaki doesn’t feel very Japan really. Walk around the streets 1 block from the harbour and there were Dutch, Chinese and British colonial building (even an HSBC!). Well it is reasonable given that it is the first window to the world for Japan. Even the road sign isn’t the Japanese style that I’d expect (aka Kyoto style). Food porn alert. Beautiful local food from the middle of no where. If you visit Vannes, be sure to check this place out. Found this place north of Vannes in Brittany. So worth the 15min drive to no where. Crazy talented husband and wife team (just the 2 of them). They only use local ingredients and that includes even their flour. AMAZING food and service. Latest

This was a REAL hotel, this was not a hostel. I really did only pay JPY2970 (+/-USD30) for 3 nights. This was one of my proudest travel bargain moment. Ryukyu was the old version word for Okinawa. This theme park recreated the times of Ryuku kingdom, a cultural type of theme park. It was small, so 2-3 hours was suffice, unless you decide to make your… It was probably a good thing that I didn’t know about the celebrity status of this restaurant prior to the visit. I had no expectation and knew no hype. It was just a meet up with an old friend. In fact, I suggested let’s do Mc Donald *LOL* I just wanted to hang out. Warm and fussy feeling! Rustic decor, but not the rug and plush sort. Beautiful ambiance for hanging out with friends. It was on the noisy chatter side of things, perhaps not so date friendly despite the dim lighting. We were a group of 6. My friends were previously eating all day long. So it was perfect for trying out tapas without fighting over food lol. Spotted Hubble contact lens on Instagram. Their marketing was very catchy: 15 pairs for 1 euro, I couldn’t resist. What a bargain! I didn’t know that budget contact lens existed before I saw Hubble. Anyways, I have been struggling to get contact lens in France (aka. I don’t have doctor’s letter), so why not give Hubble contacts a try, right? How to look local Parisian with ease. I have summarised it all in 7 simple steps 😉 I have lived in Paris for 2 years now and these are my observations. Some of it may… Fun and games with food, but don’t joke. French will never joke about food 😉 Gallette des Rois is a traditional dessert ‘game’. There’s a hidden ‘toy’ of sort inside the cake. The person who…
