a Taste of Napa.

































A day trip in Napa can never do anyone wrong. Tuesday couldn't be more relaxing. We started out with some fresh food at Mustards and then worked our way to Round Pond and Domaine Chandon. One hosts the authenticity of every taste and texture a wine can hold while the other winery provided some great food and atmosphere. I could definitely get used to this. Tuesday, what a wonderdul day.

Northern California, Napa

CNY in Shanghai














Chinese New Year in Shanghai is bare, quiet and grey. We started out with a traditional Chinese New Year dinner however, there were hardly any restaurants opened. We had to walk miles just to find one decent place available. Finding a cab is another story, good luck roaming the bare streets for the non-existent cab. Walking through the streets of the city was like walking through a war zone. People blasting fireworks from left to right, I had to take cover and find an escape. After finding shelter in a high up place, I took one look outside the window and realized Shanghai is indeed a city with personality.

Western Taste in Shanghai






Never was a fan of Spanish tapas until my taste buds met El Willy in Shanghai. This restaurant offers a little taste of everything. With all the ingredients imported from overseas it makes this restaurant a must try. In Shanghai, it doesn’t get better than this.
