This coming week I will be in South Australia. I’m unlikely to post updates using this blog, because I’m getting tired of MT but have no time to either upgrade to version 5 or (more likely) migrate to WordPress. Twitter’s been erratic (still down, at the time of writing), so if I do send updates,…
I did many things in London, Bicester and Bristol. My classmates and I hold Bristol fondly in our memories, which is the main reason why we flew for 12 hours and spent more hours on the road to get there. However, during the trip together we realised on thing: We all had memories of different…
All’s well in London so far. It’s a bright sunny morning this Wednesday, which is a reprieve from the windy drizzle we had yesterday. Museum tally so far: British Museum and Victoria & Albert Museum. Today the plan is to head to Tate Modern. Visited Harrods but am not a very big shopper, which may…
The busyness of the past 2 months has caught up with me, and so I haven’t had much time to blog, although I should still be more active on [Twitter](http://twitter.com/vantan). But I had to ensure things were done before I embarked on what will be the biggest trip of the year. In a few hours’…
Shanghai was foggy when we arrived in the late afternoon, and remained murky until evening, when it got prettier simply because the city lights came on. We braced ourselves for the cold weather, but even the 3 layers of clothes I was wearing didn’t seem to make a difference. Walking home from dinner, we stepped…
It’s been a while since I wrote something here. I’ve been busy. In several hours’ time I will head to Shanghai for a holiday. It will be chilly but hopefully fun. Will write more when I’m there, if the internet connection’s working and we’re not being charged an exorbitant fee.
Today I met my family at the Charles de Gaulle airport and drove them to Chablis. There was a big accident on the A6 highway because all cars stopped moving for 30 minutes, and people got out of the cars to see what was happening down the road. Soon, a few ambulances and rescue vehicles…
Day 1: Arrived around 9pm at Larnaca airport. We were greeted with lots of H1N1 warning posters. After collecting my check-in bag, I was welcomed at the exit by D, the bride-to-be, who was using a high-tech phone to video my entrance. Had supper at D’s home, chose some slideshow photos with her and learnt…
Over the last weekend I made a trip to Paris to boost the economy. This mission was completed with Louis Vuitton (LV) being the main beneficiary. After a short train ride and an even shorter metro ride, we found ourselves in the heart of Paris, and beheld one of the bastions of French luxury goods:…
It’s been 3 weeks in France already and the food is great. I don’t miss Singapore food at all (Let’s see if this can last for 2 months). The breads, the cheeses, the wine, the champagne are all good. And the weather is lovely today. Clear skies (UV rays!!!), cool winds, better road manners. What…
