would’ve loved to have my best meal in Greece during my last day there. Instead, this meal was actually during my first night there and it’s something so basic and happens to be one of my favorite things in this world: kebabs!

e joined a local tour for 2 days to visit Meteora. We were brought to this place to a little town called Kalambaka that reminded me of Canada (even though I’ve never been).

October 28 was the day that the Greek Prime Minister Ioannis Metaxas said “No” to Mussolini ... Read More »

Omonia Square is generally like the business district of Athens, kind of like what Makati is to Metro Manila, but with the Binondo-area looks. It’s also the unofficial drug (the illegal kind) store and escort service district of Athens. Not the best ... Read More »
came home from my Greek vacation last November 1 and it’s taken me 53 days before sitting down and writing my first planned entry for that trip. So I’m trying a different approach here. I’m not doing the Day 1, Day 2, Day 3 travelogue type of entry. Instead, I’ll do a couple of reviews, share some tips, and maybe ... Read More »
