Day view of the West Lake from our hotel room. The weather is very hot and the skies are foggy. The Intercontinental is a bit old, service is spotty and the room has NO Wi-fi. Geez. We haven’t ventured around
Photos of Chiangmai
I was cleaning up the draft folder in this blog and dug up this old post containing some photos of Chiangmai. I didn’t take as many photos as I would have liked to because it was quite difficult managing a

Rest wherever makes you comfortable.
Jeonju: Rooming Above The Hat Shop
When I was in Jeonju last year, I stayed in a room above a hat shop known as Luella, a French brand that designs and makes hats. It was a fun experience! The entire three-storey building, located right smack in
Chiangmai: Botanic Gardens
Well, I majorly screwed up when going to the Queen Sirikit Royal Botanic Gardens. By the time I picked up my SD card from the hotel and returned to the park, I wasn’t in exactly the best of moods to
Chiangmai: In Mojito Heaven
好きなのみものは mojitoです。Yeah, my favourite drink is the mojito. Boy, am I glad that the Chedi Chiangmai mixes a really good mojito AND cocktails come “FOC” with my room between 6pm and 8pm every evening. No prizes for guessing what I

Jeju: Jeonbang Waterfalls
We’re heading back to Seoul today and will spend the rest of tonight and tomorrow morning going on a mad shopping spree in Skin Food, Faceshop, Nature Republic (and hopefully, nothing else) so that TBH can cart all the loot
Jeju-do
^ Glass House, Phoenix Island, Seopjikoji How’s the scenery in Jeju-do? I haven’t seen enough of the island but from what I have seen so far, the beauty of the island has not touched me very deeply. The oreums and coastlines
Korea 2010: Roses & Bubbly
I am 35 years old today. Holy cripes. THIRTY-freaking-FIVE years old…? I am definitely in the ahjumma category. I don’t actually feel like 35 (not that I know what a 35 y.o. should feel like) though my constantly aching back reminds me that I am on
Jeju: PODO Hotel
We arrived in Jeju-do yesterday and came straight to PODO Hotel from the airport. The flight from Seoul to Jeju was a short 1 hour but it was a noisy one, as half the flight was occupied by hordes of
