vienna/prague 2017
For my remaining vacation days of 2017, I decided to make my way to over to Vienna. It was the perfect time to go, because of the Christmas Markets. Since my friend, Yan, was off at that time too, we decided to travel there together. We had one week off but didn’t want to spend…
8 foods to eat in vienna
Wiener Schnitzel – this means Viennese cutlet. The most popular version is a thinly-pounded piece of veal. I’m not a huge fan of veal, so I opted for the chicken, which is probably the second most popular. Viennese Sausage – I can’t compare it to the canned Vienna Sausage, since I’ve never had it, but this…
6 things i learned in the 3 days i spent in vienna
In December, it starts getting dark at around 3 pm. When we landed in Vienna around that time, the sun was already setting. This doesn’t leave you with a whole lot of hours of daylight to explore. Ticketing for the transit system is kind of confusing. We had a two-day transit pass. I think we…

Virtually climb to the top of Karlskirche – that’s right: virtual reality, at a church. I must say that it did give me vertigo and a bit of nausea, but it was a very interesting, and it was a very unique experience. Watch how apple strudel is made – my ignorant American self had always…
stephansdom
The Stephansdom (St. Stephen’s Cathedral) was probably my favorite part of Vienna. I’m not a religious person, but I really liked this church. I just could not stop staring at it. It was just so grand and majestic. I was expecting to climb some steps to get a view from the top, like most other…
music in vienna
Like any other Asian child, I was forced to play a musical instrument at a young age. (Mom, if you’re reading this, I’m just kidding! V. thankful that you made me take piano lessons for all of those years!) So naturally, my inner music nerd was pretty excited to see Mozart and Beethoven’s apartments, both…
christmastime in vienna
I LOVE Christmas. While I don’t think anything can beat Christmas in NYC, Christmastime in Vienna was pretty cool too. The city is decorated and of course, you’ll find Christmas markets all over town. This means you won’t run out of chances to sip mulled wine while you peruse some of the goods that the…

flying singapore airlines
Singapore Airlines is one of the top airlines in the world – that is, according to every article you can click on Google. And I don’t disagree. This is one of the best flights (if not the best) I’ve ever been on. I highly recommend you download the app before you fly because you’ll get…

1. Start your day with a cup of coffee You won’t find a shortage of cafés here. Like the beer scene, the coffee scene is just as happening in Portland. My first Portland cup of Joe was at Coava Coffee Roasters. It was a honey latte and it was perfectly balanced. We also went to…
12 things i learned in the 6 days i spent in the maldives
We spent 5 nights and 6 days at Mercure Kooddoo on Kooddoo Island, and about 1.5 days in Malé, the capital city. We had trouble picking an island at first because everything was ridiculously expensive. The deciding factor was that we found a TravelZoo deal for an overwater villa, with a private pool, mini bar,…
