I will never forget the first time I’ve tasted Frozen Norwegian Shrimps fresh from the sea. I have tasted so many shrimps in different countries but this is by far the best Shrimps I have ever tasted. It was so fresh and so heavenly that you will be wanting for more; even if it was just half cooked. It was my first trip to Bergen, Norway when my Uncle Rune brought us to the city centre where we bought ½ kilos of Shrimp which costs about 300 Norwegian Krone. We ate the shrimps by the bay and threw away the skin of the shrimps at the bay so that the birds will eat it. This is a Norwegian way of recycling things so that it would not turn into garbage. Eating Frozen Norwegian Shrimps is a ... read more

The French Riviera also known as Cote D’Azur is one of the most romantic destinations in Europe. It is also one of the richest places in the world. The French Riviera is also known for its royalty, casino, beaches, luxury cars, yacht’s and billionaire’s houses. The coastal scenery was really awe-inspiring and the blue water was so revitalizing. If you think that the French Riviera is only for the Rich and Famous, well think again. You can tour the whole of French Riviera on a budget. I and my family hired a tour van which brought us to the five major towns of the French Riviera for only 89 Euros per person. It’s really a good deal since they picked us up in the Airport and toured us for the whole day and brought us back ... read more

I believe that going to a French Flea Market on a Sunday morning, is a must try for traveller’s, especially food enthusiasts. This experience is where you can really feel that you are French. You can find so many awesome, cheap and good deals in a Flea Market. The good thing here is that you can bargain the price of your desired item. I really enjoy going to markets/ bazaars in the Philippines. But this experience is a must try since the French Market is really different because they sell different types cheese, cold cuts, fruits, vegetables, truffle and other French Commodities. It’s also a good thing if you get to buy fresh ingredients and cook it at your apartment or hotel so that it will be cheaper for you and you will get to eat ... read more

If you have an extra day in Paris, one of the best excursions would be going to the palace and garden of Versailles. This will just take you a 45 minute train ride from Paris City Centre. A ticket will just cost you about 6 Euros roundtrip. The entrance fee to Versailles is about 13 Euros. Versailles is really different from Paris since it is very clean and there are few gypsies. This place is a must see since you will get to learn so much from the History of France. You will learn how their leaders treated the poor and oppressed. You will also learn how their leader’s used the money of the people to beautify their kingdom even though they are just 5 people living in the palace. In the end the people will ... read more

I have eaten so many cuisines in many places in the world: dimsum in Hongkong, Pad Thai in Bangkok, Taiwanese Fried Chicken in Taipei, Bibimbap in Seoul and Hainanese Chicken in Singapore; yet whenever I think of a unique cuisine I always think of Portuguese Food. It’s not your mainstream type of cuisine, since it is not very popular like American, Italian and Chinese food here in the Philippines. It was my first time to eat this kind of food that is really different from what I have ever tasted. The food at Fernando’s Restaurant at Coloane,Macau was surprisingly delicious. It’s not because that I have not been to Portugal that is why I don’t know anything about Portuguese food, but I thought that it would be very similar to Spanish Cuisine but it isn’t. Fernando’s ... read more
