A friend from my MBA course invited me to join her on a day trip to Eze and since I’ve never been there, I happily accepted! Eze is actually pretty accessible from Nice. There is a bus stop near Garibaldi station where you can board bus 82 to Eze village; this bus is run by… Read More Day Trip to Eze + Walking Nietzsche’s Path
I’m pretty sure I heard about The Project by one of you wonderful book bloggers, but I’ve forgotten who. But I do remember why I picked this up – firstly, it’s by Courtney Summers and I really enjoyed Sadie, another book by her. Secondly, The Project is about a cult and honestly, there’s something about… Read More Book Review: The Project by Courtney Summers
Time to review another book on my MBA summer reading list! I studied a bit about IoT during my undergraduate days, so this book on artificial intelligence (AI) sounded very interesting. Competing in the Age of AI is based on one premise: that “AI is becoming the universal engine of execution” and as such is… Read More Book Review: Competing in the Age of AI by Marco Iansiti and Karim R Lakhani
Hi friends! I am so excited and happy because… I’ve bought more teacups! Which in itself isn’t a huge thing (I’ve bought so many online, after all), but these are the first teacups that I’ve bought in person from an antique market and that is a new experience for me. A friend introduced me to… Read More I Bought My First Teacups in France!!
I’ve had this book on my TBR list for almost a year, ever since I saw Norwich Linguist’s review of it. And even though I enjoyed Confronting the Classics by Beard, I held off reading this because the topic just hit too close to home. Women and Power is a collection of two lectures given… Read More Book Review: Women and Power by Mary Beard
(whispering to you: To be very accurate, the title of this post should be “First Five Days in Nice, France” but I wanted to alliterate as much as possible) Hello everyone! I’ve been pretty absent from this blog because I’ve been busy preparing an international move! Today is day 5 since I’ve arrived (starting from… Read More First Five Days in France
So I don’t think I’ll finish my entire summer reading list before my course starts, but I’d have finish about half of it now that I’ve also read The New Climate War. In The New Climate War, climatologist and geophysicist Michael E. Mann draws on his years of experience in the field to talk about… Read More Book Review: The New Climate War by Michael E. Mann
I was taking out all my Sarah Dessen books for a photo when I realised that I owned Someone Like You! And despite the fact that I’m sure I have read it, the book didn’t really ring a bell. Someone Like You is the story of Halley and her best friend, Scarlett. At the start… Read More Rereading: Someone like You by Sarah Dessen
I’ve been very good with my teaware purchases this year, and by that I mean that I’ve not bought a single teacup until earlier this month. I had a friend who was looking to let go of two cups and I liked the pattern so I bought one trio! And so, I came into possession… Read More Just tasting some 2019 Long Jing
A while back, I wrote a post on Three Things from The Tale of Genji that still exists, which is why when this thread called 源氏物語で現代でも通じると思うエピソード (Episodes from the Tale of Genji that can be understood today) appeared, I was immediately intrigued. It’s a fairly long thread, but I’d still recommend reading the whole thing… Read More Things From Genji that Still Exist (Crowdsourced Version)
