This past week I signed up to do something I’ve never done before – take a cooking class! I like to think that I’m a decent cook, but the truth is I’m really just a great eater. I like to eat. A lot. Breakfast and second breakfast, mid-morning snack followed by an early lunch, then [...]

Oh, Indian food! I find it absolutely irresistible. After a grand total of four days in Kuala Lumpur, I had already turned myself into a regular at one particular establishment – Restoran Anuja. Located directly across from Puduraya Bus Terminal, this was the first place I set foot in after arriving from Melaka and it [...]

A room with AC? A cold shower? A fan? All of these things help, but the best way to combat Malaysia’s arduous heat and humidity (in my opinion) is with a bowl of cendol! Cendol is an unlikely dessert, and something that I wouldn’t have dared try just a few years ago; the ingredients alone [...]

Eel would certainly not have been my first choice when it comes to dinner, but I am quickly discovering that in South Korea it is common to order a group meal, and therefore a bit trickier to please everyone’s palate. Not wanting to be the new foreigner who squirms at the sight of odd delicacies, [...]

Have you ever heard of Anne of Green Gables, Emily of New Moon, or Anne of Avonlea? Since the first of the novels was published in 1908, Lucy Maud Montgomery’s stories have inspired movies, musicals, television series, and even cartoons! Heck, Lucy Maud Montgomery put Prince Edward Island on the map! Thousands of visitors flock [...]

Yes, it happened. I’m a fairly slim girl but after a week of over-indulging in sweet ol’ Deutschland, even my sisters were horrified by the gut I’d gained… and I’m not exaggerating. By the end of my visit I was opting for loose shirts to camouflage what resembled a 3 month bump. What can I [...]
