Finally, the video montage of the highlights from our Korea vacation is ready! We spent a frigid but enjoyable 8 days in South Korea in December 2012 - the very same year Gangnam Style swept the world. We learnt so much about its history, culture and are already missing its beautiful snowscapes. I spent many nights gleaning tips from online tutorials to produce this montage as our family's tribute to this scenic holiday destination. . So … [Read more...]

Dana Tours Siam Ocean World!
Mention Tutuk, Tom Yum Goong, Pole Dancing Pornsak (from The Noose) and Bangkok instantly springs to mind. Each year, 500,000 Singaporeans visit Bangkok.

We last visited Bangkok 12 years ago as a newly married couple. This time, armed with tips on the 'Must-Dos' and 'Must-Eats' from friends, we rediscovered Bangkok with Dana in tow to … [Read more...]
Thankful Tuesday: Getaway to Get Together…
We just got back from a short getaway to Bangkok...a destination which we last visited in 2000 as a young couple...I'm thankful that despite hubby's hectic workload, he managed to set aside few days to grant my desire for a regional getaway...we've both been feeling we've neglected each other of late and this trip, though short, was a good one. We visited new sites, tried new cuisines and even indulged in Thai massages two days in a row...something which we've never done before.So I'm thankful … [Read more...]
Around the World in 18 Days: Taiwan!
All Swans are White… One of the reasons I love to travel is, like most, to discover new things - new places, attractions, culture, people and be inspired and enriched by the whole experience of discovery. Almost everything in the modern world, I believe, can attest to the influences from the Western World (primarily the American and British Culture) – fashion, finance, entertainment, education, business… For me, anything else would be a poor copy. It didn’t help that, growing up, I was … [Read more...]
