We slept on the way there but these were the scenes we saw in Chesky Crumlov, a UNESCO world heritage site since 1992. Let’s first start with a map of the area, showcasing the river that encircles the town. The entrance which looks like an aqueduct. Isn’t it impressive? As you can see, it was […]

We have arrived at Crystal Mozart at 6pm after checking out from Prague, and visiting Kuta Hora. It is an utter pleasure to be at Crystal Mozart again. The staff greeted us warmly and many recognized us from last year. It was so nice to hear them say, “Welcome Madame, do you remember me from […]
We signed up for The Taste of Prague, the #1 food tour in Prague according to TripAdvisor.com. It’s not exactly cheap so we came with really high expectations. We were warmly greeted by Karolina, a 39-year old mother of two who has been food’ng with The Taste of Prague for awhile. Apparently, the group consisted […]
We started the tour in Mala Strana area where the aristocrats lived. It’s closest to our hotel so it’s the best place to start. Following the alley, we passed by the John Lennon Pub Restaurant. On its right, you can see the water level. In 2002, there was a flood and the water level reached […]
We used Turkish airlines this time, and it’s an 11.5 hour ride to Istanbul where we will have a lay over to Prague. Turkish Airways had a decent legroom, an average meal and so-so service. They gave the kids a toy pack so that was really nice. Here was our mea of stir fried beef […]
When I was 22, I lived on my own in Taipei. I rented out a small studio unit close the the University that had its own bathroom for NTD 10,000. It was a few streets away from school. I shared the unit with a few other rooms lined up in a dark narrow corridor. I […]

The current girlfriend has been in his life for a decade already. The sexy and pretty girlfriend is straightforward and hot-tempered. To put it simply, she has […]
My husband and I finally tried the weed at the Green Place Amsterdam (not to be confused with The Green House) located at Kloveniersburgwal 4, Amsterdam. We picked it particularly because it was voted as one of the Top 3 Coffeeshops in Amsterdam thanks to their Rollex OG Kush cannabis strain. Of course, if you’ve come to Amsterdam, […]
Hubby and I specifically picked Amsterdam as our first stop on our extended 21-week honeymoon because of its three Ws: weed, whores, and windmills. What can we say? Most Filipino-Chinese would pick the traditional London, Paris, Rome for their honeymoon destination but no not us. We are unconventional, naughty people, both hubby and I. We arrived Amsterdam at an early […]
A month after my breakup… wow, how time flies. It hasn’t been an easy journey but oh, how invigorating the process was. Over the last four weeks, I’ve done a lot of self-reflection, making changes where I saw fit. And there were many. My life path for 2012 for example has radically changed from what […]
