Happy New Year to all on here! I’m not sure if it’s the same for everyone but once January starts, I am filled with hope and excitement for the New Year. This year is no different. I’m not sure if it’s all the resolutions that I’ve written, the blank slate that comes with a new…

One of top things on my list of places to go to on my first return trip to South Korea since leaving in 2023 was Suwon. My old hometown. My stomping and sliding grounds in winter. The place I had chosen as my home away from home for a year based on a google image…

Earlier this year, I went back to South Korea for a holiday since leaving in 2023. It was only for a week (all the annual leave I had left) but I was so excited to go back and dip into my personal nostalgic world. Excited seems like an understatement. I carefully crafted my itinerary- I…

I was fortunate to be able to return to Karlovy Vary last year for an overnight stay. Karlovy Vary is up there on my list of ‘beautiful architectural towns’. Only 1.5hrs by bus from Prague, Karlovy Vary looks like you’d expect all the princes and princesses from fairy tales to live which is not that…

It is inevitable that when you live in a different country, things are bound to go wrong sometimes. You just don’t know, the culture is different or you just didn’t know (I said that twice on purpose). To get through these times, you need some humour and a little bit of that ‘happy go lucky’…

Kyoto, the city that offers both modern day and tradition in close proximity to each other. A popular city for visitors when travelling to Japan, Kyoto is one of my favourite cities so far that I’ve been to in Japan. Offering outdoor peace and not as busy and shopping heavy as Tokyo or even Osaka,…

Kawaii is a term you may have heard before. In Japanese, it means cute or adorable and can be used to refer to people or items. If you know Hello Kitty or Pokemon, then you’ll have a good idea of what is means for something to be kawaii. I was intrigued that you can also…
