Few distance away from Basilica of St John is where the House of Virgin Mary (Turkish: Meryem Ana) located. The House now serves as a small chapel. Once we saw the house, my mum request for a picture here. It's not easy to take clear picture of the house and you alone because other visitors want to take

After visiting a lot of mosques in the first few days of our trip, today we are going to basilica of St John which is located in Selcuk, near Ephesus. This place too, has an awesome-looking entrance-ticket. The ruins of the basilica, which is used to be a church. Here lies the tomb of apostle John. A bit

On our 2nd day in Turkey, we visited one of the famous religious site in Bursa, the Grand Mosque of Bursa. There are a lot of monumental wall inscriptions inside the mosque, to be exact there are 192.

We reached Turkey pretty late, around dinner time. So our first activity in the Anatolian land is...EATING. Which I love very much. *glutton* Our tour guide brought us to Buhara 93 Restaurant.

Ever since I moved to Taiwan, I've been joining the craze of collecting gifts from the local convenience stores. The idea is you will receive a sticker from making purchase (min NTD80 I think) in the convenience stores. The stickers also looks damn cute! This is the ones that I got for Doraemon promo way back then. And

Taiwan is an island of bubble tea. And they make a yummy one. I have become a bubble tea addict here. And 50lan is my most favourite bubble tea in Taiwan (not necessarily the cheapest..huuu).

The trip to Alishan would not be completed without a visit to Alishan Forest Recreation Area. And the entrance to the forest is pretty nearby to our hotel (see link).
