We arrived quite late via Airasia so after checking in at our hotel in Ximending, we naturally scourged for food. Fortunately, A Cai Milkfish Belly (阿財虱目魚肚) is still open from 10:00pm to 4:30am, so it was our perfect first stop destination for our Easter weekend holiday. Here’s the kid at the airport. “Welcome to Taipei!” […]
I enlisted the Tanay Group Tour for our company outing this year. My father-in-law said that Tanay was very similar to Baguio, and looking at the photos, I was intrigued by the fact that a slew of activities can be done in just one day. We departed Manila on time at 4am. It was still […]
I was in Davao this weekend for a little R&R. Given the last minute trip arrangement, I booked the service of Kuya Joey Davao on the last minute. Surprisingly, he was able to book me a tour and also arranged for our airport transport to the hotel. We arrived in Davao at 6am via Cebu […]
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 […]
During our layover in Istanbul, my daughter wanted to buy at fast fashion store JC Waikiki. The vending machine was cheap at EUR 5.95 but after buying her a nice red jacket and a Frozen Bluebooth headset, I was NOT in the mood to be generous. “I want! I want!!!” She said. “I want a […]
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 […]
