Continuing from the previous post on Athens we have made our way to Santorini. Needless to say, we’re a broken bunch of people after having woken up 6-7 times throughout the night and being forced into sleeping in various places and positions that are probably …
Travel
Greece Part 1 – Athens
I started writing this post sitting on the lounge of a cruise ship headed towards Santorini. But I won’t get ahead of myself, I’ll begin 36 hours ago, 6 am on Thursday when we first arrived at Skavsta airport. You might remember Skavsta from my previous …
Barcelona
The photo above shows me in my usual tourist garb. Get comfortable with me in my thrifted men’s L denim shirt and blue-green bathroom slippers. I’m looking absolutely bewildered while in mid-conversation with Shaun. This was photographed somewhere along the tourist trap that is La Ramblas …
Belgium Part 2 – Bruges
Here is my horribly delayed post on Bruges. On our second day in Belgium we caught a train to iconic Bruges. Some of you like myself, heard of it off the film In Bruges. While I didn’t chance to meet crazy gun-wielding bad guys or hookers …
Silence in Stockholm
First up, apologies for the decrease in posts in March and complete lack of posts in April thus far. No excuses, just plain laziness and trying the whole ‘living my life’ rather than just documenting it. Though I’m sure there is a balance to strike …

After the week long absence due to a heavy-weight 75% assignment, I am back to regale my travel tales. (For those still following the story, the MH370 is still missing. I’m still posting updates every so often but no great leads yet) Last week, Jordan …
London Part 2
Towards the end of Day 2 Grace arrived from Newcastle. And with three English interstate children (Grace from Newcastle, Hillary from Bristol, Jun Wen from Manchester) and one Swedish-Australian-Malaysian social leper, our party was complete. We had supper at a Japanese diner after grossly miscalculating …
Game On 2.0 at the Tekniska Museet
I managed to squeeze in a visit to the Game On 2.0 exhibition last week just before I jetted off to London. It was held at the Tekniska Museet otherwise known as the Swedish National Museum of Science and Technology. It’s free entry to the …
London Part 1
I love big cities. The two places I’ve spent most of my life living in have been Kuala Lumpur and Sydney so it’s no secret that I have grown up conditioned to be an urbanite. London comes in very close as one of my favourite …
Lunch at Herman’s
I wish I was kidding when I said in an earlier post that I was eating a lot of vegetarian. Kidding about kidding, Herman’s located in the Slussen-ish area is the evolved form of Hermitage, despite Hermitage having the longer name. It is cheaper (if …
