Universal Studios Japan

Universal Studios Japan

My last day in Kyoto was reserved for Universal Studios Japan in Osaka, nicknamed USJ. USJ is accessible from Kyoto via train. Just be careful not to get on the Osaka loop train which doesn't go to USJ. Instead there is a train that announces it goes to Universal Studios. The second train we boarded [...]

Khlong Lat Mayom Floating Market

Bankok has a market for everything it feels like. Flower markets, night markets, flashlight markets, weekend markets and even floating markets. On the morning of my first day in Thailand I tried to sit and plan things I wanted to do. I wanted to do day tours and little trips but I was worried about [...]

Bangkok Street Food

Every country has their street food. Little stands on the side of the street selling delicious smelling foods. I didn't even make a dent in the amount of foods offered but I did try a bit. Click on the photos to read little bit more on some of the things I tried.

Café-deli Artisée Pâtisserie

Cafe Artisée is a cafe chain in Seoul. It's french inspired and has a variety of breads, baked goods, sandwiches, salads and other foods. I went for a quick lunch and was pretty surprised.

Linus’ Bama Style Barbecue 라이너스 바베큐

Linus's Bama Style BBQ is located in Itaewon near exit 4. They make traditional American bbq foods like pulled pork sandwiches and brisket. They also have a pretty decent sized drink menu (alcoholic) that I didn't end up trying. They're open for lunch (11:30-3:00) and dinner (5/5:30-10/10:30). I ordered their pulled pork sandwich which comes with [...]

Taco & Rice 타코 앤 라이스

Taco and Rice is a small Mexican restaurant in Edae. Nathalie and I went there for dinner. The food was good. I ended up getting a quesadilla  and burning my tongue from the spiciness. Luckily it came with a little side salad and some sour cream. The flavor was great it just hurt for me [...]

Peggy Pie

After arriving at Edae I was hungry and after seeing the long lines for some of the street food I decided on this small pie shop that had small savory pies. It was a bit confusing at first because you can either order from outside at the window or inside, but there isn't much space [...]

Gontran Cherrier

Before heading home on the last day of our vacation we went out for breakfast. We'd eaten at Paris Baguette already and  passed by this cafe multiple times. It was along the walk from exit 9 at Gangam station and the hotel we we were staying at.. Gontran Cherrier is a chain of bakeries created [...]

Sunday Coffee Stand

On my first night in Tokyo as we were wandering around Shibuya we passed a place near our hotel called Sunday Coffee with an interesting list of drinks posted outside. Since it looked like it was also a restaurant we were pretty determined to stop by but had trouble getting back before it closed, until my [...]

Cafe Mugiwara

When we'd visited the Tokyo Tower the evening before we passed a One Piece themed shop and cafe and I really wanted to go back and see them when they were open. So after trying on Yukata's in Harujuku we headed back to the Tokyo Tower to have lunch. We grabbed a menu and waited in [...]
