A Spa for your Head – Bangkok has it all!
Let me tell you about a little something here in Bangkok called “head onsen.” Onsen is the term for a traditional Japanese style bath house. For Americans, the thought of bathing around strangers is really weird, but I have to tell you, the few times I’ve gone to them, they’re amazing and you get over…

5 Days In Vientiane, Laos
Recently, we had to pop over to Vientiane, Laos for a business trip. Vientiane is the capital of Laos, home to about 800k people. You’d never guess after spending a week there. It feels more like a small town than the country’s largest city. We were there from Sunday to Friday, so we didn’t get…

I did have a day where she worked and I explored, so read on for more. In general, Singapore is pretty awesome. Clean, advanced,…

They do malls differently here…
I’m not typically a “mall person.” Even as a tween, hanging out at the mall was not really something I was into. I just ended up bored really. But I’ll tell you what, living in Bangkok has made me a mall person now! Maybe part of it is that we live by 3 major malls,…

BKK Auto Salon
Before dating Justin, I never thought I’d go to a car show… but here we are. I’m at my second or third one, but this time we took it international. He explained to me how car shows have all but lost popularity in the US – how they used to be an event that ALL…
