Hotel scenes from Bangkok

February 24, 2011

Photo credit I was on the lobby of the hotel we were staying last night since there’s no free WiFi in my room, only in the ground floor lobby. In the age where WiFi is free at Starbucks, etc, I can’t believe some hotels still charge a fee for it in the individual rooms! Anyway, [...]

February 22, 2011

It’s just my second day in Thailand and my love for the country is already overflowing. There’s just so many things I want to write about all at the same time so I wouldn’t forget about it. It’s like my mind is racing all the time and my fingers are itching to hit the keyboard [...]

Something fishy

June 16, 2010

Once, a wrong turn lead us to the Sharjah – one of the seven Emirates beside Dubai. We were hungry so we stopped in a mall to buy food and water. Entering that particular Sharjah mall was like slipping into another time. Contrary to all the glittery glitz and modernity of Dubai, we saw an [...]

Singapore!

March 22, 2010

After a while without posting and coming up with this travel post, you would think I hopped onto a plane and went to Singapore. I wish I did. I could use a few days of rest and some Chinese food. Last year when we went back to Japan for a vacation, we had a stopover [...]
