Siem Reap March 2023: Day 1 Angkor National Museum

Siem Reap March 2023: Day 1 (Arriving at the Jaya House River Park Hotel)
We were picked up at the airport and driven in air-conditioned comfort to the hotel. In the minivan we were given cold jasmine scented towels and reusable aluminium bottles of iced water. We were already feeling pampered. The driver’s voice … Continue reading

#20. Simple Joys: Singapore being cooler because of all the trees and plants
It’s something we take for granted. The rest of Southeast Asia is much hotter due to the lack of trees, even though Singapore lies closer to the equator. We also have the advantage of being an island. The surrounding water … Continue reading

Samy’s Curry at Dempsey has Been Renovated & We had a Good Lunch There
Went by for lunch. It was packed and there was a queue as we left. This is quite the institution for Singaporean style South Indian curry on a banana leaf. I truly love the cabbage dhal, fish curry and Mysore … Continue reading

Patisserie G at Millenia Walk: Stunning Cakes
I didn’t have any cake but they were stunning to look at. The flat white I had was great, my partner found his latte too ‘heaty’ (acidic?). He can’t take stronger coffee like I can. The Cuban sandwich was nothing … Continue reading

A glimpse of what grows nearer the Antarctic or South Pole. Subantarctic plants.
Tasmania Trip Day 2: 1 February 2019
Breakfast was at a small, laid back, hipster cafe called the tricycle cafe and bar. Sourdough bread is always heavenly in Australia. It was located at the Salamanca Arts Centre which is very near the Salamanca Market. We walked there … Continue reading

Never Been on the Singapore Flyer

#10. Simple Joys: Even Greater Ease to Check Out Library Books Using my Phone App
Love not having to queue and borrowing books by scanning the bar codes through my library App. Currently for only those books with a particular sticker, but I’m sure the efficient librarians will cover more books soon.
