The Seoul Garden Show is an annual event sponsored by the Seoul Metropolitan Government. One of my friends, Marjohry, is a plant and flowers guru (shhhh, she doesn’t want to be called that!). Show her a leaf and a flower, and she’ll tell you its name. And so, together with the other ladies of the… Read More Seoul Garden Show at Yeouido Park
This is the SPC Building at Itaewon. This is one posh building with equally posh cafe and restaurants. I have eaten in the cafe and the restaurants on different occasions and each time I come over, I am still amazed… the ambiance and the interiors are enough to make me want to spend time with… Read More Brunching @ L’Atelier

No living goddess photo here… sorry! You get my highly pixelized phone camera photo, instead! Lol! Seriously though, we cannot take photos of the living goddess. We can’t even be assured if we can take a glimpse of her. She’s a living goddess, protected and worshiped. She is believed to be a reincarnation of the… Read More The Living Goddess at Durbar Square

They were… Read More The Colors and Sounds on Top of the Swayambhunath
