Men in leather jackets, riding boots and tattoos are a frequent sight here! Of course not! I'm just kidding. Zappi's has bikes, but more like bicycles. I'm a self-confessed bad cyclist. I reckon I'm doing road users a service by not cycling. However, all the positive reviews on Trip Advisor made Zappi's sound inviting and …
All I wanted to have for our 5th wedding anniversary was to have Afternoon Tea in Oxford. After spending hours which probably accumulated up to days researching on the best place to have Afternoon Tea, I decided on The Rose which is on High Street. The Rose is a very small restaurant (more like a …
The cafe is located in the Covered Market which dates back to the 18th century. On its menu, you'll find traditional English breakfast, burgers, omelettes, steaks, jacket potatoes etc , all at reasonable prices. There's no pretentious front to the cafe - ie. fancy interior design, armchairs or useless pieces on display. I know people …
The journey from Frankfurt to Oxford went exceptionally smoothly. Theo behaved himself, I didn't get sick from flying or the coach ride and it was a breeze to go through immigration. On Wednesday we took a stroll to the city centre with Aunty G while the sun was out. I'm enjoying the change in scenery …
On Monday, we'll be flying to Oxford to visit Dan's family for 8 weeks. While I'm excited to see everyone again, I'm also feeling very nervous and stressed out over the upcoming journey. I'm absolutely rubbish on planes and coaches since I get motion-sickness. I also feel claustrophobic on planes (unless it's the A380). I'm …
I've been trying to keep up with reading JUST one book a month and I failed terribly in April. What's my excuse this time? Well, I've been running around getting essentials we'll need for Theo when he arrives (hopefully this Sunday!). Instead of reading novels, I've been equipping myself with babycare knowledge. When my sister-in-law …
The world's renown Oxford Dictionary defines "culture shock" as "the feeling of disorientation experienced by someone when they are suddenly subjected to an unfamiliar culture, way of life, or set of attitudes".
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 …
A few weeks back, Sharon from Good Migrations contacted me to review our moving experience. When I took a good look at her website, I thought to myself 'Darn! Why didn't anyone tell me about this?'. Good Migration is pretty cool. It has reviews of moving companies from all over the world written by people …

After dragging myself out of bed to the Immigration Office this morning, I realised it's Tuesday and not Monday. Oh well, you might ask 'what's the big deal?'. Ok, the office is closed on Tuesdays. I knew that for a fact but I just didn't realise it's Tuesday today. Did sulk and whine a little …
