I don’t get to travel as much as I used to, but all travel posts go here!
Today, I noticed that my post on my stay in Henn na Hotel, the first robot-staffed hotel, is somehow in the “top pages” link at the side. There’s been some pretty major changes, so I updated the post, but I thought there was enough to do a separate post too. The English posts I’ve seen… Read More What’s Happening to Henn na Hotel?
Before we went on our trip last year, 10 days in England sounded like plenty to me. Until I realised the amount of ground we had to cover, which meant that we only got about half a day in each location (except for London). One of the places that I would love to visit in… Read More (I Want to Revisit) Bath
So a long long time ago, my family and I lived in England for like, a year. Just before we went back after twenty years for a holiday, we had a brief discussion about whether we should visit the Cadbury Chocolate Factory. My mom remembers it as mainly for little kids (my sister agreed, although… Read More Cadbury World for Adults/Older Kids?
This post is mostly pictures, I would think. But since I take a lot of photos I don’t really look at (something I realised when my family was talking about how we take holiday photos but don’t really look at them), I’m jumping at the chance to post them. Not going to Stonehenge while he… Read More Stonehenge
When I was searching about places to go in Stratford upon Avon (apart from the Shakespeare-related places), I found Benson’s House of Tea! I was immediately interested because: 1. The name is “house of tea” 2. They have £5 breakfasts with bottomless tea (or coffee, if you prefer that) Since they’re located just opposite Shakespeare’s… Read More Benson’s House of Tea: English Breakfast + Stratford All Day Blend
During our trip to England last year, we visited Bath and of course, I had to visit the Jane Austen Centre! They had a tea room and a Jane Austen blend tea which made me very happy (as you can imagine). First, the tea: I also bought a book called Dining with Mr. Darcy This… Read More Jane Austen Tea + Jane Austen Centre Tea Room
When I went to England last year, one of the things I wanted to do was to have tea there. Tea as in the meal, not just the drink. And what better time to have tea than with a friend? Michelle is one of my oldest friends and a huge afternoon tea fan, so I… Read More Yumchaa Cream Tea and Blueberry Hill Tea
Another thing I wanted to do in Okinawa was to try a proper afternoon tea set. Not because Okinawa is famous for its afternoon tea but because my fascination with tea led to a fascination with afternoon tea. After a lot of googling, I decided on the set from the Lobby Lounge at the Ritz… Read More Afternoon Tea @ The Ritz Carlton, Okinawa
When it was decided that my sister and I were going to Okinawa, I decided to try and see if there was anything interesting tea-wise. Well, I found Bukubuku Tea (ブクブク茶), which is unlike anything that I’ve ever seen before! What is Bukubuku Tea (ブクブク茶)? Bukubuku tea, a type of furicha, is a traditional Okinawan… Read More Tea 101: What is Okinawa’s Bukubuku Tea (ブクブク茶)?
Hello everyone! I’m back from England and dealing with the jet-lag(: It was a really great trip and this time, I decided to get books as souvenirs (since I don’t really use traditional souvenir items but love books). So I thought I’d blog about what I got plus a share a few photos from my… Read More England Book Haul
