Weekly Photo Challenge 3: Teamwork
Being able to work as a team is definitely one of the skills everyone puts on their CV. From a young age, we’re taught how to play and work with others from doing group projects together. I remember having to deal with the laziest 3 boys in class for a group project at A levels. … Continue reading

I love using social networking sites such as Facebook. In 2006 I signed up for an account mainly to stay in touch with the awesome Plume IS people I met in Japan. It was a platform to share photos with friends and be “informed” of what everyone was doing. Facebook helps me stay connected with … Continue reading
I had my fair share of “I’m so crazy over this Korean dude” days which ended prematurely as the dramas got too soapy for my liking. Gone were the days when I fantasised being Song Hye Kyo or Choi Ji Woo dying in the arms of incredibly hot and handsome men who shed tears as … Continue reading
Hello everyone! I hope you had a great Christmas and New Year! We were back in Oxford for 2 weeks to spend some time with Daniel’s side of the family and the cats. I really wanted to get a good video of the cats since I’m always telling how cute they are. Unfortunately, I didn’t … Continue reading
Our last stop in Japan was Hiroshima. I insisted on visiting the city and Miyajima because they left a huge impression in my mind 8 years ago on a field trip. Hiroshima came across as a very green city and it was hard to imagine that the city was ruined, no, it was burnt to … Continue reading
Prior to the Meiji Restoration, Kyoto was the capital of Japan. When you ask any foreigner about Kyoto, you’re almost absolutely sure that they’ll mention geisha. Unfortunately, I didn’t get any pictures of them. I saw two on the streets but it kind of felt intrusive to stick my cameras in their faces. Instead, I’ll … Continue reading
We stayed at the New Osaka Hotel which is located 3 mins walk from Shin-Osaka station. It wasn’t a fancy hotel but that didn’t bother us since its purpose was to provide a shelter over our heads at night. And for 40euros a night, I couldn’t complain. We didn’t spend much time in Osaka since … Continue reading
The Market Church is approximately 20 minutes walk from Wiesbaden Hauptbahnhof. From far, it reminds me of the few churches we visited in England. It looks very impressive on the outside. As we were there on a Saturday, the weekend market was opened. I love such markets because you can buy fresh produce from local … Continue reading
We went to Wiesbaden yesterday for a day trip. Wiesbaden is less than an hour away from Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof and we really just wanted to explore a different place. One of the places we visited was the Russian Church which is located at Neroberg. From Wiesbaden Hauptbahnhof you can take Bus No. 1 and alight … Continue reading
http://hadafewbeers.com Yes, that’s what German saunas are like. The norm, really. Today, I’m not persuading or recommending anyone to go for a sauna experience in Germany. This is because I think as adults we can make informed decisions. I know many foreigners might be hesitant to visit a sauna in Germany because they’ve heard of … Continue reading
Do you ever realise that on Sunday evenings people tend to publicise on Facebook how much they dread Mondays? Yes, the Monday Blues sufferers. I reckon it’s also possible to suffer from Monday Blues even when you don’t work on Mondays. Well, at least I think I do or perhaps I’m just coming up with … Continue reading
One of the common responses we get when people learn that we now live in Frankfurt is: “Boring. It’s just an urban jungle” Fortunately, they are so wrong. There are places in Frankfurt where we can chill out too. Even high-flying bankers need a break! And I didn’t have to travel far to enjoy some … Continue reading
