Psst. I’m gonna teach you how to get free food at McDonald’s. You ready? You see, I visit McDonald’s at least twice a week to blog. Some people work at Starbucks, others do better at the library, but I get my creative juices flowin at Mickey Ds. They’ve got free wifi, cheap coffee ($2.60 for their […]
Here’s an idea for a dream trip: Chilling with your closest friends or family on a private island. An island filled with beautiful beaches, breathtaking sunsets, hammocks, etc. Oh, and let’s throw in 3 meals a day and unlimited kayaking/snorkelling/sea sports. How much would that cost you? Ten thousand dollars? Twenty thousand dollars? Now, I’m not a
Here’s something I’ve always wondered: Why would anyone pay for a GV Gold Class ticket? I mean, sure, it has a lounge, some F&B – which you have to pay for – and a nicer seat, but would you actually pay 40 bucks for that? I probably wouldn’t. (Does anyone know if Golden Village actually makes
Okay, I’ll admit it: I hate planning for travel. 8 years ago when I was studying in the US, I found myself without any plans for the week-long Fall Break. I would’ve been perfectly content to take a 2-hour bus ride to Manhattan and pig out on Chipotle. Luckily, I had a couple of friends who had a MAJOR thirst
Frequent flyers have a common saying: “Once you go flat, you can’t go back.” No, they’re not lamenting about their car troubles, but about the amazing experience of sleeping on a lie-flat Business Class bed. Because once you’ve done it, it’s very hard to go back to flying Economy Class. I first flew on First and Business Class in my
Wouldn’t it be awesome if we could travel around the world for six months? I’m talking about visiting 9 countries across 6 regions. Not rushing through them like your typical packaged tour, but spending a leisurely 3 weeks in each country so you can really soak in the culture. Being on the road is tiring,
I’m just gonna put it out there: My fiancee is way better at planning our wedding than I am. She often tells our friends, “Lionel is getting an invitation to our wedding. There will just be a big X on the floor with “STAND HERE” written in big, easy-to-read words.” Yes – I’ll be first
For as long as I can remember, my family follows the exact same weird routine every Chinese New Year. After a light vegetarian lunch at my grandma’s house, we’ll all pile into several cars and drive off to the nearby Lot 1 Shopping Mall. There, we’ll fight through the crowd at the cinema, buy some popcorn,
Happy New Year! New Year’s day is often a re-e-e-a-ll-y lethargic day for me. I had a slight hangover from my New Year’s Eve countdown, so I spent the day reading Superforecasting – a pretty cool book on how to make better forecasts The author, Philip Tetlock, organised a “forecasting tournament” where he recruited 3,200 volunteers – regular people
