Snapshots: Marilyn Monroe Street Art, Macau

From Filipina on Flip Flops, 2 days ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles

This was the Marilyn Monroe mosaic I mentioned in yesterday's post, which we chanced upon on a random street in a less tourist-y area of Macau - and by less tourist-y, I mean cheap and affordable. We were on a backpacker's budget when we went on our Macau-Hong Kong trip, so we consciously avoided its glitzy and pricey areas and their equally glitzy and pricey hotels.Someday soon I will also tell you about the tin can of a hostel we stayed at in Mongkok, owned by a guy named Jackie Chan.No, not...

There was some horrendous traffic when I was on the way to work last week, so I took a side street and chanced upon this. It reminded me of a Marilyn Monroe mosaic we chanced upon in an out-of-the-way street in Macau. I should post that one of these days. Read more

I love this picture! A big shout out to Tiff and Jen, epic travel buddies, whom I miss dearly! We had been great friends at university, but traveling together is the only way we see each other now - Jen is based in Petaling Jaya and Tiff in Melbourne. Proof that traveling doesn't only produce fleeting friendships - on the contrary, it can also forge and strengthen friendships that will probably last a lifetime.Hopefully we all get to travel to Laos this year.Have a great Sunday everyone!

Snapshots: Caffe Bene Connection, Seoul, South Korea

As the last Valentine's-related post of the week, I'm sharing yet another photo from our trip to Seoul in 2010. Specifically, this was taken on our first fateful night in Korea, which we spent in young and hip Hongdae. Rissee made friends with the shy and cute Caffee Bene barista who served us our post-partying snack. It could've been a scene out of the many Korean dramas she loves oh so much! I wish they had exchanged emails, or names at least!This chance encounter reminds me of the many... Read more

Snapshots: A Nice Little Thought in Namsan Tower, Seoul, South Korea

Proof that a romantic city like Seoul is not only for lovers, even if the numerous people in couple shirts and shoes will make you think otherwise. Even a place like Namsan Tower, known for its padlocks of love and other cheesy, mushy trinkets for lovers, can be a place for single people too!So the next time you see another boy and girl in matching couple outfits, resist the urge to buy a tub of ice cream and a bottle of soju. It's probably best to ditch the food and alcohol, but it wouldn't... Read more
