Guest Blog at Let’s Visit Asia!

As you all know, I’ll be off next week for a 2-week holiday, and while it shouldn’t be a problem to get internet connection in the Philippines, this will be the first family holiday we’ll be having in Asia since 2003, and I’m really hoping to make the best out of it. I promise I’ll […]

Sure, just thinking about going somewhere, even surfing around the web for possibilities already gets me hyped up, but when I’ve actually made the first tangible step — […]

It has been […]

Country-Specific Categories

As some of you might already have noticed, I’ve started adding Asian countries to my categories list. I figured this would be more helpful for those of you who are seeking country-specific information. I’m kicking myself for not having done this earlier, and I’m sorry, but I just don’t have the time (and willpower) […]

The Rambling Spoon in Southeast Asia

I just wanted to draw attention to the new addition to my blogroll: the Rambling Spoon blog, written by Karen Coates, a correspondent for Gourmet Magazine and author of Cambodia Now: Life In the Wake of War. From her profile:
