Holiday on my mind
2013 is supposed to take me to at least seven cities, twice to two of them. That’s according to my team’s travel plans. With less than 10 months left in the year, that means little chance for a personal holiday. Luckily, one of the cities I’m supposed to travel to is Seoul, now [...]

To try in style: Afternoon teas
I’ve been lucky to have had the chance to go places as part of my job. But since I work for a magazine that covers the Asian markets, most of my travels are confined within the region. I do love Asia. There’s nothing like the heterogeneity, dynamism, colors and sounds, or dins, of its places. [...]

I may not have found what I thought were some of Rio’s gems – beautiful women and men with sun-kissed and well-endowed bodies stretched endlessly under the sun in Copacabana – I discovered gems that I thought were lovelier and hotter. I could admire or hmm… ogle them as long as I want and bring [...]
Magnificent Cristo
Magnificent. That best describes how it felt coming face to face with Cristo Redentor (Christ the Redeemer) on top of the 2,300-feet high Corcovado Mountain in Rio de Janeiro. The statue, about 130 feet tall and the 5th largest statue of Jesus in the world, was massive and imposing that it was overwhelming at [...]
