Today is the last day of 2022 and what better way to end it than document my travel highlight for this year: my short visit to South Korea last November. My employer was invited to attend an inauguration event and I was fortunate to have been part of our very lean delegation, which included our President and General Manager (equivalent to company CEO). The event was to take ... READ MORE
It’s good to be back in Cebu!
There's a different kind of excitement when I rode the airplane again last August, for a weekend trip to Cebu to visit my brother and his family. I'm glad that Philippine Airlines (PAL) offered a "neighbor-free" seat for less than Php500 (per one-way trip); giving me an added peace of mind for my first plane ride after the pandemic. I also opted for an early morning flight ... READ MORE
Binondo Chinatown Museum
The last museum visit we had was 2 years ago at the newly-opened Chinatown Museum inside Lucky Chinatown Mall. We just got back from the UK and was shopping at the mall when we saw the escalator leading to the museum. In this museum one will learn (or, in our case, re-learn) the history of Binondo and of our Filipino-Chinese ancestors in a very modern way - through ... READ MORE
Our British Food Adventure
To begin with, British food is not complicated. So drawing up our "foodie list" was the last thing we did when we were planning our UK trip in June last year. It helped too that Netflix was streaming British cooking shows such as "The Big Family Cooking Showdown" and "Million Pound Menu", and watching them gave me a good idea of what to expect in British local food. Truth ... READ MORE

Hello all! I hope everyone's safe and well in this pandemic time. I finally found the time and motivation to finish my UK travel diary. How time flies so quickly! Just last year we were busy touring London and Scotland, and then 9 months later this beautiful country, along with all others, closed their borders and put all stops at tourism - for people to just stay home ...

My Birthday Week in Japan
I'm back, people! Please allow me to do a little detour from my UK travel diary (haven't started with Day 7 yet, but don't worry, matatapos na ang kwento ko dun hehe!) and write about our very recent trip to Japan - where I celebrated my 4_th birthday! That's right. I decided to celebrate my birthday abroad for a change. The idea came about after reading countless ... READ MORE
UK Adventure Day 6: Our FREE Scottish Highlands Hairy Coo Tour
The year is about to end and I haven't finished my UK travel journal yet, hehe! So here we go. We are now on Day 6 and it was another outdoor tour for us - this time, to the Scottish Highlands! One of the early bookings I made in preparation for our UK trip (and even before we applied for our visas) was the 1-Day Free Scottish Highlands Hairy Coo Tour. To ... READ MORE
UK Adventure Day 5: Exploring the Magical Edinburgh
We only had 2 days to explore Scotland, the northern part of UK, but it was enough to see the best of Edinburgh and part of the Highlands. Edinburgh is the capital of Scotland, with lots of old towns and villages that retained much of their original character as settlements. It's not hard to fall in love with Edinburgh, and now I understand why some of the travelers I know ... READ MORE
