DC’s Museums are the best

Tuesday, October 27th, 2009

Our visit to Washington DC was amazing. I had no idea the Smithsonian was so many museums and that there were so many other museums in the downtown DC area and nearly all of them are free. I couldn’t believe they were free! We stayed in a luxury hotels DC near the National Mall. Making [...]

Thursday, October 22nd, 2009

Office Space is my favorite flick of all time.  Everyone has had bad job before.  I had more than my share until I stumbled across my latest one.  I literally did stumbled too.  Popping out of a cab, I tripped over the New York Times, which was open to its classifieds.  My Jimmy Choo shoes [...]

Visiting Favorite Places in Singapore

Thursday, October 15th, 2009

It was an uneventful flight into Singapore. Bryan seemed a bit irritated that his PlayStation wouldn’t work on the television that was in the seat in front of him on the plane. He had to watch the movies with me instead. We did manage to negotiate our way through the airport, which, by-the-way, was clean [...]

Wandering around Singapore

Thursday, October 15th, 2009

It’s Saturday in Singapore, so I decided to head to Little India and basically hang around for the entire afternoon. I took the subway and managed to find Little India, which wasn’t too hard, because  the stop was named Little India. It was another hot day, I can’t tell if it’s hotter then the last [...]

Souking it up in Dubai

Tuesday, October 13th, 2009

The weekends over and I really enjoyed being able to sleep in. I left my five star hotel Dubai offers around 11am and my agenda today was to check out the gold souk. A souk is a market, and here in Dubai, they have a gold souk. I thought if I had time, I’d check [...]
