A London Fashion show? Never thought I would be saying I went to one. This past Saturday, my flat mates and I (5 of us) went to see the Silver Catwalk show at the Saatchi Gallery. A beautiful venue on the outside, large white pillar (Greek column style). Walking in, everything was white! Designers set…
Let the adventures begin!!
After the past weeks, I’m glad to say taking public transportation has been getting easier and better. I do not mind taking a bus or a train by myself anymore even if it’s during the evening. In fact, after school I love to go explore around the city! One of the highlights so far has…
My Happy Place
This past weekend I spent the most incredible weekend in the stunning countryside in Wales. Not only was it the most amazing weekend I’ve experienced in the UK thus far, it was also such an amazing experience. I went through a company called Preseli Adventures with two of my flat mates and I can honestly…
Other than Banksy
London is absolutely gorgeous. It disappoints me the more I live here to hear it reduced to an international metropolitan hub. The title strips the city of its humanity and culture. Westminster area is noted for its beauty while the rest of the city is reduced to urban sprawl, too many people in not enough…
Mid Autumn Festival in Japan
This Mid Autumn Festival! I love holidays because we get Monday off haha. Since Monday is off, Tuesday class is cancelled, and I don’t have any classes on Wednesdays or Thursdays, I decided to take the chance and travel a little. Spontaneously, I booked flight to Tokyo, Japan. Tokyo is just like another Hong Kong,…
Adventure in HK
I absolutely love Hong Kong! I had a little rough time getting used to this city—about three days. And everyday since then has been a perfect adventure in this city jungle. All my classmates, foreign or local, are very nice. This year there are about 200 exchange students, mainly from Europe, like Germany, France, and…
Straight Outta Shanghai
I’m really excited about writing this blogpost, because it’s time to educate some people. I decided to search the Internet for common stereotypes about China from the West – and then prove them wrong. Coming from an international country myself, this is one of my favorite things to do. 1. (and my favorite) Not all…
Mollys 18th birthday!
So this month in Australia was incredible for so many reasons. One of them was the fact that it was my home stay daughter, Molly’s 18th birthday! This consisted of a huge weekend of festivities. In Australia, the legal drinking age is 18 so it is pretty much the equivalent to a 21st in America….
Bondi Beach
Being in Australia has been absolutely so amazing. I have met some incredible people while here that I am hoping to never lose touch with. On e 15 minute bus ride from my home stay takes me to one of the most beautiful beaches I have ever been to. Bondi beach is just breathtaking. I love…
Don’t wake me up when September ends, because this is a wonderful dream
I can feel the weather beginning to change in Hirakata City. The days are still nice and warm, all clear skies and sunshine, but most days of the week I bike home after-dark because of how late my schedule goes, so I’ve begun to notice the chill that’s started to settle here. With the help…
