I know I’m super behind in updating this blog but I figured I’d post some travel highlights from the past year. I travelled to Europe and Asia, flew on some of my favourite airlines, and got in on some excellent mistake fares. Here’s hoping that 2016 is just as fun! […]
Wahh, this trip was awhile ago now and I have since been to Asia several more times, but oh well! Better late than never, right? …Right? Yeah, okay. This is just some random Hong Kong stuff. In case you don’t remember, back in December I did Hong Kong – […]

Here’s another video where Mike and I go to Japan once again. Mostly starring Mike and Kyary Pamyu Pamyu.

If you visit Shanghai, you’ll probably visit People’s Square and People’s Park. They’re a major tourist attraction and central to a lot of shopping, museums, food, and other stuff in Shanghai. Definitely check out the two dumpling shops on Huanghe Road (mentioned below) and be careful of people trying to scam […]
As promised, MORE DUMPLINGS. The above picture is actually a steamed bun that Mike would procure every morning from a street vendor near our hotel. Of course, these buns were extremely tasty and cost like $0.20 CAD. Because China. A random alleyway somewhere in the French Concession. Getting directions to… […]
