10 Things I Learned This Summer

August 18, 2010 blog meet-up

1. Summer passes by too fast. Seriously. Where does time go when you’re having fun? I look back and it’s like a blur of fast-forwarding events. Did I really already go to Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, Korea, New York, and Canada? Am I really going back to school tomorrow already? I’m like that lady in [...]

Now That’s MY Kind of Vacation!

August 16, 2010 eating out

I loved reading about your ideal vacation! Sounds like we all have different (and similar) ideas about what a perfect vacation should be like. But I had to laugh out loud at what Heavenly Housewife said here: “My idea of my ideal vacation would be if i could go back to New York and stay [...]

When a group of people travel together, you’re bound to have to make some compromises. Most likely, you’re gonna want to travel with people who share the same interests as you, but when you’re stuck traveling with family…well, God bless them, but sometimes, you just can’t get along. Especially when you all have different ideas [...]

Our Very Korean Road Trip

August 10, 2010 eating out

I’m in Canada!!! Actually, it doesn’t really feel like I’m actually in a different nation. We’re in Burlington right now, and it feels like a godforsaken part of the country…there’s no houses, just rows and rows of office buildings. And nary a Starbucks or even a McDonald’s in sight! But that will all change today…In [...]

NYC 4: Fed By the Jews

August 8, 2010 eating out

I once wrote in a college application that I wanted to study Judaism. It wasn’t a ploy to make myself more interesting and diverse to the college administrators; I really was (and am) very interested in Judaism and Jewish history. I would have liked to take classes on Judaism in college, except with my double-minor [...]
