These are the things I learned when we brought our 23 month old baby girl to Hong Kong for five days. We had a blast during our trip and up to now, she keeps on mentioning that she wants to go back to Hong Kong! 1. Plan your itinerary well. Research in advance and slow […]

Skye’s second birthday is coming up. So before that big event happens (and airlines charge her the full fare), we have got to go out of the country once more! This time, we are going back to one of our favorite places: Hong Kong. I planned our itinerary with a toddler in mind. One major […]

The Premise Last Christmas, I was suffering from severe cough, colds, and throat ache and it was affecting my numerous singing and theater performances. One week’s dose of antibiotics and constant voice rest, honey bee propolis drink, throat coat tea, over-the-counter cough medicine, lozenges, plus some other things that my doctor prescribed didn’t help at […]

This blog is a continuation of my Osaka-Kyoto blog. Writing travel blogs not only helps me count my blessings, it also serves as a journal of sorts. When people ask me about a trip I made five years ago, for example, I cannot share anything concrete until I re-read my blog about it and see […]

We played tourist: we brought out our cameras to “hunt” and “shoot” Geisha… genuine Geisha and Maiko! Before anyone berate me for this, let me assure you that we were discreet. More discreet than other tourists. We followed the rules when scouting geisha. But wait. I’m getting ahead of myself. Let me share our day […]

Our stay in Kyoto was almost over. This day was devoted to walking around the area we lived in. The more we got acclimatized to the local scene, the more I fell in love with Kyoto. The places we visited today were huge factors that contributed to why we wanted to go back to Kyoto. […]
