The end of the school year is always so busy, and unfortunately our Date Nights have been a bit neglected. Granted, Prom from last Friday night could almost count as a date night–almost. A few weeks ago though we did manage to treat ourselves to a night out: we went to a secret, somewhat undergroundContinue reading Date Night: 001 and Souvla
Secret Garden
Over our spring break, we went to a magical place on earth: Yangshuo in China. All of a sudden as you enter into this region, these hills start popping up everywhere. Before you know it, you’re completely surrounded by these mini mountains–they are actually called karst formations although they make you feel like you are onContinue reading Secret Garden
PMQ Night Market
Hong Kong has a new and very special shopping destination: the PMQ Night Market. This last weekend was its opening, and it was definitely bustling! The PMQ–originally the Police Married Quarters on Aberdeen Street in Central–has been re gentrified turning this multi-level, multi-roomed, courtyard-centered structure into a hip spot for artisans and their studios. Once allContinue reading PMQ Night Market
Mee & Gee, Wan Chai HK
I gave directions to Me & George a few weeks back. There’s more to this franchise–well, I can’t claim that it’s a franchise, but I do know there are three Mee & Gee type stores: the one in Central, this one in Wan Chai, and yet another for me to discover in Mon Kok. ThisContinue reading Mee & Gee, Wan Chai HK

Date Night: Heirloom Eatery & More and ABC Kitchen HK
For March’s date night, Kevin and I took the advice of a fellow Hong Kong enthusiast, JJ of The Wanderlister. It was recently JJ’s birthday, and he celebrated with a week’s worth of dining. In his first write-up of three nights out, JJ wrote about the ABC Kitchen in Hong Kong (not to be confusedContinue reading Date Night: Heirloom Eatery & More and ABC Kitchen HK
Beach Braids
There’s nothing like having beach braids while on vacation! Every day on at the beach on Koh Samed with Mary over Christmas, we would have our hair braided. We found a cute little gal named Fai who would experiment and try new styles on our hair each day. On our final day before leaving theContinue reading Beach Braids
Diwali Blues
Well, we’ll just call this India Week on Kremb de la Kremb! I was going through some old photos and came across these blue beauties. Oh Vincent and Gigi are just so cute! This was taken during one India’s many festival celebrations–in particular Diwali. I must have put them standing up on our Juhu apartmentContinue reading Diwali Blues
Indian Street Style {Round 2}
Here’s the second set of Indian street style pics I took during my day in Delhi. I found out around this time that it was Woman’s Day–which helped to explain all the finery. Everyone, but mainly women, were so dressed up on this day. It made the touring around historical landmarks all that more remarkable.Continue reading Indian Street Style {Round 2}
Indian Street Style
I love India! This place has my heart for sure!! I just arrive, and I actually feel home. I lived in Bombay for five years–that was the longest I had lived anywhere since I had lived with my parents for 18 years in Spokane, Washington. The people of India are so amazingly kind that theirContinue reading Indian Street Style

Second hand shopping is a must for me. Sometimes I want a tulle skirt, or a denim skirt to cut off. Well, slowly as I continue to inhabitant this city and increase my love affair with Hong Kong, I am learning about neat and new-to-me shopping destinations. Recently, with the encouragement of Redress Hong Kong accompaniedContinue reading Second Hand in HK
