I am sad to admit that I read a lot less than I used to these days – with limited free time and competing mediums like the Internet and TV, I just don’t devour books like I used to anymore. I still love walking in Kinokuniya though, and my bookshelf is one of my prized…
Naturally, one of the highlight of a Hanoi trip would be the detour to the famous Halong Bay, recently nominated as one of the new 7 wonders of nature. The trip was entirely arranged by the guesthouse (Hanoi Guesthouse) for me, so I had no idea what to expect really, other than that it was…
I picked this card out on Day 2 of my trip, whilst traipsing the streets of Bukchon Hanok after my Gyeongbokgung tour. Stop. Close your eyes. Try to feel the weather on your skin. Is it warm or cold? Windy or not? Do you like the weather? It was a strange weather day – pouring…
First overseas edition of the Anywhere Travel Guiding Series! I carried my much dog-eared copy of the ATG around Seoul with me, and when I got a bit bored roaming the streets, I’d whip it out for some inspiration… Keep walking until you see something particularly yellow. NOTICE THIS SOMETHING. This is one of the…
Well I’m a big fan of alternative travelling as you can see with the Anywhere Travel Guide (and the Anywhere Travel Guiding series 2011, yikes I hope I can finish by year end as originally planned!)

THREE – 15th Jan 2011 (Sat) – 4pm-ish @Lavender I went a-wandering to seek out Sarah (our first meeting! more surprises in the near future!) and ended up in this somewhat off-the-beaten-track spot. It happened last week after the Jones lunch, but I didn’t want to blog about it before the place had officially opened!…
TWO – 15th Jan 2011 (Sat) – 130pm-ish @Mandarin Gallery Shopping Arcade Rach is a great friend I have the misfortune of meeting with so little. We try to meet up when we can, but schedules, work, etc etc you know how it goes… We’ve known each other a pretty long time – since our…
As mentioned in my other post, 2011 would be the year that I test run the Anywhere Travel Guide for myself, an ongoing project to see how it would enrich my experiences whether I was travelling or not. ONE – 5th Jan 2011 (Wed) – 8pm-ish @Orchard Central I managed to get off work early,…
