EuroCruise: Carpets &The Grand Bazaar in Istanbul
Gooood Morning Istanbul! After a long day of trekking Istanbul’s delectable sights and spices, I woke up to a breakfast of fresh cherries from Turkey.

Mommy & Me Munching Around Copenhagen
Whenever the family travels, we normally take separate flights to just to stay on the safe side, in the event of a catastrophe. Interestingly enough, I usually arrive a day or two before everyone else, and stay longer for a couple of days. You would think that with three older brothers one of them would...

Battle of the Breakfasts: Blu Jam Cafe on Melrose
Since Roomie is in town for the weekend, I’d like to reminisce on one of our favorite past-times: Eating! We are both very similar ladies who definitely like to lunch. But not before I tell you the story of how she bullied me to go hiking. Sure, I hike now. Late last year I visited her and...
Paluto at Pier One, Cebu
I’m not a big fan of Pier One, nor do I remember the last time I was in one since I finished highschool, but if you are in Cebu, this is one of the best places to have a Paluto (cooked-to-order) experience.

EuroCruise 2010: Mad for Mykonos
Back to the beautiful Greek Island of Mykonos, home to blue & white homes, hot sunny beaches, and major midnight beach parties. If there’s another thing Mykonos is most remembered for… it’s not wide open spaces like the Chola Town Center. But for the tight and tiny alleys and streetways that zigzag like a labyrinth all around town,...

Apparently the “best pig ever” by Anthony...
