European Weekender Part Tre: Torino
A few things that I vaguely know about Turin before I took myself there for the long weekend: Juventus Turin shroud Where chocolate was invented Not much else… Not knowing anything about a place did not worry me as much as missing my plane to reach the said unknown place for the third time… For… Continue reading European Weekender Part Tre: Torino

Last few days of sun
I’m so sick of waking up too early all the time, regardless what time I fell into bed I inevitably wake up at 5.30 or 6.00 am on the dot.

Just a few… Continue reading Foodie weekend – Borough Market
Utata Thursday Walk
Thursday in Utata means Walking Day. So, put down your work, grab your camera, take a walk, and show us what you see. Which is exactly what I did. I packed my camera and took some shots on the way home, feeling a little disoriented by the clear blue skies. Not quite sure what’s wrong… Continue reading Utata Thursday Walk
Proms in the Park = surreal
The BBC Proms was something that needs to be experienced to be believed. My thought process when someone tried to explain it to me went something like this. Proms, but no a prom. Not the American version with drunk teenagers misbehaving in dark corners. Oh that could happen but under a giant British flag? Oh… Continue reading Proms in the Park = surreal
