I have always wanted to explore the English countryside, so when I found this small group tour of Traditional Cotswolds Villages and Oxford from Klook, I immediately booked it. To my surprise, it was the Rabbie's Cotwolds tour that I've been eyeing when we were planning our UK trip. So I was really happy that we will get to experience Rabbie's brand of service. Our ...

UK Adventure Day 2: Exploring Windsor, Bath and Stonehenge + More of London at Night
We booked Evan Evan Tours via Klook for our Windsor, Bath and Stonehenge Day Tour. If there's one thing I love about planning for our UK trip, it was the myriad of day tours available from London and at budget-friendly prices.

Crazy Rich Emerald Ring
I'm one of those excited to see 'Crazy Rich Asians' the movie because I've read the book, and I can just imagine how spectacular and well, crazy, it would look on the big screen! Glad to say that the movie did not disappoint. It was beautifully made, and every scene was filled with colorful and 'branded' details (hehe!) that I had to watch it again for details I may have ...
