South Africa is beautiful!
#2024wish
My fav post COVID trip was to South Africa to see family and friends after 5 years. I did the following route : Johannesburg , Durban, George, Pretoria in 3 weeks.
As usual, the most fabulous scenery and delicious foods and there are plenty of amazing photos from each area of this trip, but more so the top foods we had every single day.
South Africa itself is so large and has so many wonderful places to visit in each area.
My favourite on this trip was the Garden Route , the first image is Wilderness Beach , and the second image is the fabulous Guest House called Moontide which is part of the Luxury Collection.
The last image is the Lighthouse in Umhlanga Rocks from the hotel restaurant where we had a fabulous seafood platter!
For 2024, my wish it to travel to Costa Rica
A Journey by Rail (Shikoku) - Tosa Province.
The Story of the Dawn of the Era in Shikoku Tosa
The train named 'The Spirit of Shikoku Tosa' departs from Kochi to Kubokawa, greeting NPCs and passengers at different stops with waves, while serving an exquisite meal.
The exterior is a retro mix of steam locomotive and jet engine designs, with a two-tone color scheme. From the front and back, it looks like two different trains:
The brown 'KUROFUNE (Black Ship)' car number one, themed after wooden steamships, features an interior with wood and sky blue tones, reviving the late 19th-century art design style that symbolized the 'dawn of a new century' with the Black Ships;
The white 'SORAFUNE (Sky Ship)' car number two is conceptualized as a modern space vessel, signifying the pursuit of future dreams. It offers a unique view of the tropical scenery along the Pacific coast, embarking on an unknown new journey.
In short, it's a fusion of old and new! The route is the Tosa Kuroshio Line, passing through Ino, Sagawa, Susaki, and Tosa Kure, with a total journey time of 2 hours and 40 minutes.
The meal is a Kochi Prefecture specialty 'Sara-bachi style' local cuisine, with hexagonal dishes containing grilled vegetables with tomato jelly, salt-grilled sweetfish, eel rice, stewed octopus, and Shimanto beef grilled with sansho miso.

Inside Belém Tower, the ground floor of this architectural jewel has 16 windows with cannons. The visit also includes a tour of the pits and holes where the prisoners were thrown into, with other five floors to discover.

A Lebanese restaurant with grass dance performances
收藏建議‼️有草皮舞表演的黎巴嫩餐廳🇱🇧🕺💃
Have you ever tried Lebanese cuisine? It's quite rare to find it in Hong Kong, but I recently discovered this new restaurant by the seaside in Tseung Kwan O 🌊🍽️. Turns out, they actually opened a branch in Tsim Sha Tsui last year, and it was doing really well, so they decided to expand 🎉🏙️. However, the interior design is completely different. They mentioned that they have grass dance performances every Friday and Saturday, which adds a fun and interesting element to the dining experience 🌿🎶.
Speaking of the food I had, I opted for some of their more unique dishes 🍽️🌟. The cold appetizer of Hummus was delicious, especially when paired with a drizzle of olive oil to enhance the flavors 🫒😋. The hot appetizers were also quite impressive 🔥👌. As for the main course, I ordered the chicken roll, which was packed with flavor 🍗🍚. It was wrapped in rice and the chicken was incredibly tender. I heard they slow-cook it for 8 hours, so they really put a lot of effort into it, and the sauce was also very unique 🕒👨🍳. Finally, I tried one of their desserts, which had a great depth of flavors, and I paired it with a floral tea. Even the teapot had its own charm 🍰🌺. Overall, I was very satisfied with the dining experience 🥰👍.
The restaurant has a distinct Eastern European-inspired decor, and the space is quite spacious 🏰✨. The overall dining experience was quite enjoyable, and I would definitely recommend it 🌟👏.

🛎️Lamb Arayes $128
🛎️Lebanese Style Chicken Roll $198

The Smallest Country on Earth
San Marino is a micro-country completely surrounded by Italy but is independent from Italy. Nestled in the mountains of the Adriatic Sea a few hours south of Venice, it’s often overlooked by travelers. It’s the oldest country in the world and has incredible things to do (not to mention breathtaking views!).
1. One of the best things to do in San Marino is to enjoy the views! The towering walls of the town often have peeks into the countryside, giving you a chance to look wherever you are
2. The most popular public square in San Marino. There are a number of shops in the square and places to eat. The Palazzo Pubblico, San Marino’s town hall, and iconic building are also located here. You can even see the changing of the guard here.
3. There are three towers that overlook the city and the countryside. They’re at the top of Monte. Wear comfortable shoes as the roads are hilly and uneven.
It’s a 30-degree uphill walk, so be sure to enjoy the sights and visit the few shops that dot the way.
4. Guaita Tower is the oldest and grandest of the three. Built during the 11th century, it also packed a lot of history. To get to the top, there is a very steep “staircase” – which is more like a ladder. Good to know if you’re afraid of heights.
5. The Cesta Tower is on the highest peak of Monte Titano. There is a museum inside displaying an impressive collection of weapons. The weapons date back to medieval times and continue to the present day. This museum also showcases how San Marino stood through wars and cultural impacts and yet still maintained its independence. It’s interesting to see all of the history in this tiny country.
6. Get your passport stamped with the San Marino stamp.

Fantastic day at Resorts World Sentosa 🇸🇬
One of the most memorable places we've visited in Singapore last year is the Resorts World Sentosa 🏝
Entry is free. However, famous attractions found inside the complex, such as Universal Studios, require a fee. We were able to access the area by riding a cable car from Harbourfront Tower two. Remember to check for promos as you may be able to avail unlimited cable car rides for affordable price.
I really enjoyed strolling around the area as there are plenty of food stalls and souvenir shops to choose from. I also love the colourful decorations and the gigantic Merlion, which are photoworthy! If you visit the island of Sentosa, make sure to stop by at the Resorts World Sentosa. It is definitely worth your time!

Discovery the charming Old Town of Limassol
#2024wish
Limassol Old Town, also known as Lemesos, is the heart of the city with its narrow streets radiating out from the old fishing harbor.
The medieval Lemesos castle was the site of a royal wedding in the Middle Ages between Richard the Lionheart, King of England, and Berengaria of Navarre, and now houses the Cyprus Medieval Museum.
The area is a charming historic center, where British colonial buildings and traditional workshops are interspersed amid modern cafes and bars.

#2024wish
📍 Tai Mo Shan
📌 The highest peak in Hong Kong, with an elevation of 957 metres (3,140 ft) above the Hong Kong Principal Datum, or around 956 metres (3,136 ft) above mean sea level. It is located at approximately the geographical centre of the New Territories.
📌 Although Hong Kong is in the tropics, frost and icicles occasionally appear on the upper slopes of Tai Mo Shan, the city’s highest peak and an extinct volcano. This mighty mountain at the heart of the New Territories surpasses all other peaks in the city for its altitude and magnitude, and it’s noticeably cooler up there. Sometimes you’ll find yourself briefly surrounded by quick-moving clouds, or even see them filling valleys far below.
📌 Instead of trees, tall silvergrass grows on the upper slopes of Tai Mo Shan. The grass blades wave gently in the breeze and catch the sunlight as you hike higher up the mountain. When you see the huge golf-ball dome of the Hong Kong Observatory’s weather radar station, you know you are approaching the 957 m summit — another great photo spot. From this airy vantage point you’re treated to expansive views of mountain ridges extending in all directions, as well as the urban areas and sea channels. On a clear day, almost the entirety of Hong Kong🇭🇰 — mountains, city, islands and harbour — can be seen in one sweeping 360-degree panorama😍
📌 How to get there?
🚌 Take bus 51 from Nina Mall, near MTR Tsuen Wan West Station. Alight at Tai Mo Shan Country Park Bus Stop. Walk back along the road and then turn left to follow the path leading up.
🚶Leaving from Weather Radar Station
Walk back downhill the way you came. From Tai Mo Shan Country Park Visitor Centre, the Maclehose Trail leads back down to Route Twisk and emerges beside a bus stop. There, you can take bus 51 back to Tsuen Wan. The bus also stops at Chuen Lung if you choose to leave from there.
2024, I wish I can climb the second and third highest peak in Hong Kong🇭🇰
YOU MUST VISIT THIS CAFE NEAR CHECKPOINT!
As if the hype isn’t already big enough, I made a trip down to Principle cafe by T.A.M! Within a short distance from the woodlands checkpoint, this was my first cafe in the area! The place was very well decorated and food was decent! Menu was a tad bit pricey but I guess it’s expected because of the SG tourists that visits! Visit this cafe if you wish, let me know your thoughts!

Gelato, Giggles & Girlfriends
#2024wish
In 2023, amidst the cobblestone streets of Italy, my bachelorette escapade at Lake Como became a symphony of laughter and lifelong memories. The scenic beauty mirrored the joy radiating from my closest friends. We danced under the Italian moonlight, shared secrets over gelato, and embraced the surreal magic of the moment. From misadventures in charming villages to heartfelt toasts by the lake, every laughter echoed the love that bound us. Italy witnessed not just a celebration but the weaving of bonds, ensuring that the echoes of that trip linger in our hearts forever.
In 2024, I wish to travel to France with my husband.
"Budapest to Prague: Dreaming of a Bath Birth
My trip from June 2nd to June 9th, spanning Budapest, Vienna, and Prague, was an unforgettable journey that left an indelible mark on my heart. Each city, with its unique charm and history, offered a mosaic of experiences that were both enriching and exhilarating. Budapest, with its majestic Danube River and historic thermal baths, was a blend of relaxation and historic wonder. Vienna's grand palaces and vibrant music scene were a feast for the senses, while Prague's enchanting streets and Gothic architecture were like stepping into a fairy tale.
The journey was more than just a trip; it was a journey through history, culture, and beauty that deepened my love for travel and exploration. The memories made, from the savory tastes of local cuisines to the stunning vistas that took my breath away, will be cherished forever.
As I reminisce about this incredible experience, I find myself dreaming of my next adventure. With my birthday approaching, I wish to visit Bath, known for its Roman-built baths and stunning Georgian architecture. The prospect of celebrating my special day in such a historically rich and beautiful city fills me with excitement. I imagine wandering through its picturesque streets, indulging in its famous thermal spas, and making new memories that will be just as precious as those from Budapest, Vienna, and Prague. This trip, I hope, will be another beautiful chapter in my ongoing love story with travel.#2024wish
