Ho Chi Minh, or Saigon for the more romantic, is a busy but friendly city. This is the description that our lovely local guide Tam gave when I asked her. I couldn’t agree more. Saigon in Vietnamese means busy/ dynamic. No, I am joking, but it could well be. From the plane you can already see…
I am almost sure that no other place can beat the Peking Duck from Dadong Roast Duck in Beijing but one can only keep on looking. Being in Singapore, we get access to lots of very good Asian dishes and of course Chinese food is the most spread around. Chinese food can be pretty broad…
Today we arrived back to Singapore after a weekend at famous Phuket – Thailand. This was our 1st long weekend away looking for paradise. Phuket is one of the most popular places to go because of its breath taking beaches so we had high expectations. We travel with TigerAir (budget Asian airline) and the…

So here I am, writing about Russia again (Dec'12). This time though I have only good things to write. St. Petersburg was a pleasant surprise in all fronts: sight seeing, people and culture. I spent there 1 full day as a tourist and another 3 days working going to consumers homes. On the 1 day…
We are on our way to our holidays in Mexico and NY and my sister kindly shared with us her survival guide for NY. These tips have been put together over the past 7 years and countless visits. Thanks Carol for sharing your secrets with us 🙂 I am not sure we can beat what…
