Sweet Tooth - Kandy

One of the most famous temples in all of Sri Lanka is located in Kandy, the Temple of the Tooth (Sri Dalada Maligawa). It was built in the 17th century and proudly boasts it is the home of Buddha’s tooth. The tooth is kept in a two-story inner...

Spice Market

Be sure to buy some spices. Most of the vendors have their own special mixtures. And the best part: the vendors can vacuum-seal your purchase for the trip home.

Sweet Treat

So why go to Istanbul in the late fall/early winter? Well, airfares are lower than in high season, you can pretty much get any hotel room you want, there are no crowds so no lines to stand in, and the price of pretty much anything you might want...

Pink Pancake Stall, Durbar Square, Kathmandu, Nepal.

I have an uneasy relationship with street food in South Asia. I've had my share of unfortunate encounters in India, and Sri Lanka, and I didn't want to add Nepal to my list. But after wandering Durbar Square for a few hours, I found myself...

Shop, shop, shop til you drop!

The Windmills of Kinderdijk, South Holland

Kinderdijk is one of the Netherlands' most popular tourist sites, as you would have guessed, since it is a series of windmills. Of course when you think of the Netherlands (or Holland, as most refer to the country as), you think of windmills... or...

Creme Brûlée served over dry ice

I've had countless creme brûlée's in France, but none like this one in the Michelangelo Hotel in Sandton, served over dry ice. It was perfect to keep the bottom custard and berries nice and cold to contrast with the torched top.

Breakfast in Paris

Save up by staying away from carbs all year if you have to, but pastries are a must in Paris. The almond galette was my personal favorite, but they have so many varieties for breakfast and lunch.

When we fell in love with lover, we want to promise the eternal love. N seoul tower is one of the sacred place of love. Lots of couples have visited there then locked their own lock at the fence and throw the key out of the fence. They believe...
