Emergency
Last Saturday night brought an experience I’d happily have skipped… a late-night ER trip for a broken toe. Surprisingly, it was a very calm, positive experience—every nurse and doctor I met was kind and professional, and I was in and out in just three hours. The scene, though, was a bit different from what you…

Sake tasting
This weekend, I attended a great event: a sake tasting and learning session. It was held at Kura Brewery, tucked away in Brooklyn’s Industry City, a dynamic new development area. It was a truly fun—and tasty—experience that brought me one step closer to genuinely enjoying sake. Just a short time ago, I wouldn’t have imagined…

Broadway
I attending my first Broadway play this weekend- such a fantastic experience! The area is truly unique! If you ignore the uncoordinated flocks of tourists, you feel the showbiz vibes and sense great talent. The play I booked was cancelled but I was lucky to secure tickets for another one and it kept me engaged…

Relaxation
It’s been a while since I last had a spa day! So I went on a quest to find a nice and affordable place to enjoy a relaxing massage (not an easy undertaking in the world’s most expensive city). After hours reading through google reviews and comparing those outraged prices the luxury hotels offer, this…

The MET
It’s been a long bank holiday weekend! Last year, I spent Labor Day with my friend in Sonoma- check out my post here. This year, I’ve explored New York City a bit more. My highlight was the Metropolitan Museum of Art which I’ve visited on Friday and loved it! It’s full of art, artefacts, history…

Anime convention
Anime NYC is happening this weekend! A three day event that unites fans from all over for unique exhibitions and exclusive screenings. You probably ask yourself how do I know this? It was easy to put one and one together when I started seeing people walking around the city dressed up as anime characters. It’s…

Wedding celebrations
I attended my friend’s wedding celebration yesterday and it was truly wonderful. Everything took place outdoors surrounded by beautiful native plants and trees, the weather was ideal (not too hot, a slight breeze), and the birds sung beautifully accompanied by the soothing background sound of burbling water from the residential pond…

Sonoma Valley
Is one of the most renowned winemaking areas north of San Francisco whose rich soils mark the birthplace of California’s wine industry. Cradled between the Mayacamas and the Sonoma Mountain ranges, The Valley sometimes gets referred to as ‘Moon Valley’ as it appears that the moon rises and sets various times behind the mountain range.…

California memories
On my way to San Francisco to attend my friend’s wedding and it feels like going home! I know I’ve only lived there for two years but I have so many great memories. I’ve explored, enjoyed and savoured my time there and if you’re curious about what I was up to, you can check out…

Ferry ride
Sunday funday… with a trip to Hoboken, a city in New Jersey, most famous for being Frank Sinatra’s birthplace. It was very hot today so I thought it would be nice to switch up the means of transportation from the sticky (and stinky) subway to the ferry with outdoor seating, skyline views and a fresh…
