I always get paranoid whenever I sleep in a hotel room – the horror of oversleeping – missing the flight, missing the tour, or missing the check out time! Although it never happened to me yet, I always play safe and request for a wake-up call. Have you checked Part 1 of my Staycation story? […]

Sofitel Philippine Plaza Manila‘s Harbor Garden Tent served like an authentic beer garden of Bavaria, Germany during the launch of Oktoberfest 2014 yesterday.

I love writing about my hotel experiences, as much as living that experience. A few of my good experiences was in Hotel Kempinski in Jakarta, and Holiday Inn Express in Beijing. Staying in a hotel gives me that feeling of luxury. It is nice to treat yourself to a lavish staycation once in a while. […]
When I woke up this morning, my first thought was – What’s for breakfast? I remember the breakfast we had in Hotel Kempinski. They say that one should get a heavy breakfast to start a day – and I think Hotel Kempinski took it too seriously. We were not only served with the usual cereals, […]
