Wuxi After touring Nanjing, we went on a 2-hour journey bus ride to Wuxi where we visited this place which sells pearls and pearl-based cosmetics products. The weather was getting colder over there and we went to several attractions later but it was too cold and misty. At that point in time, I didn’t…

Deeniseglitz is once again on a hunt for great food. On my last day in Bangkok, we’ve found a real gem at The Emporium – Greyhound Cafe. We’ve wanted to check out this much highly-rated cafe at Siam Centre but the whole mall was closed down for renovation. Like what Jamie said, we are fated…
On our second day of our trip to Bangkok, my friends and I decided to visit the Grand Palace so we took a skytrain from Nana station and alight at Saphan Taksin station. A few minutes walk from this station is the central pier where we purchase our 1-day ferry tickets to take the Chao…

It’s an interesting mall because every level has a different country theme and the stores at each level sells items unique to each country. Say Tokyo in Japan, you will…
