Yilan is a county in Taiwan located very near to Taipei. With its unique geography of overlooking the sea on one side, and being surrounded by mountains on three other sides, Yilan county is known for its scenic spots, cold and hot springs and nature trails. To begin 2013 with...
I have a confession to make… airline food fascinates me. I feel like an astronaut each time I unwrap hot food packaged in cellophane and sealed containers thousands of miles above the ground. Admit it – you feel the same way too. On our AirAsia flight back from Chiang Mai,...
And this was the day we left Japan. I had successfully gone the entire night with no sleep at all! Early in the morning, we allocated ample time to get to Tokyo narita airport. But somehow by the time we did get there, we were among the last passengers to...
(This is the first of 11 posts on my awesome Japan trip. I’m gonna blog about it from the very beginning all the way to the end!) Our flight to Tokyo was at 8:30 in the morning! We bid farewell to Singapore (on her independence day, no less!) and got...
It was night time when we arrived in Dallas, and early morning when we left. I dozed off after all, despite having tried to stay awake the entire night. Overslept, after sleeping for a grand total of two hours. So from then on it was a mad rush to the...

I vaguely remember waking up at 10am before deciding to snooze for a couple more minutes. The next thing I know, it’s 11:40am! And I have to get my butt out of the hotel by 12! Fortunately when I call up the hotel reception, they agree to give me an...
On my Cathay Pacific flight to Hong Kong, the flight attendant made sure I got my low-calorie meal. I had specified it as a meal preference when booking the flight. It turns out to be a meal with egg white, eggplant, and asparagus. When we arrived in Hong Kong, it...
