First day of the year in Tianjin
Finally travel in China is possible again, so I decided to spend the first day of 2023 on a day trip to Tianjin!
I departed from Beijing early in the morning, as the high speed train is only 30 minutes to get to Tianjin from Beijing South railway station... how convenient! 🚅
In Tianjin we biked and walked around these places: 🏃🚴🏻
- Porcelain House
- Wu Da Dao (5 big avenues)
- Italian Town
- Ancient Culture street
Overall, a super nice day ☀️

Quiet Romantic Sentosa Broadwalk
Thinking of heading into sentosa? Most people head into sentosa via the monorail located in vivocity for $4 for a one time payment or an expensive cable car ride instead to sentosa.
There is an option where you can actually enter into sentosa free, and also photo opportunities with your family or love ones on the broadwalk. Not many come here during the afternoon as it gets pretty hot. But hey, you get to take beautiful photos and also the entrance into sentosa is free, which I do not see why not?
Also, this place is wheelchair friendly and kids friendly too, it may seem like a really long walk but there are actually travelators along the way to ease your walk from vivocity to sentosa. Do also come in the night, this is where the lights come on and you will be able to see the beautiful reflection off the waters of both sentosa Island and vivocity.
Hungry for a treat, fret not, there are couple of waterfront view restaurant which are open from 11am - 10pm with also couple of places serving alcohol to drink and relax the night away.

Splendid afternoon!
Myself and friends went to Splendid China for the day. It was a very hot day so we hired a buggy car (2 seater). Each car was 500RMB to hire but you were only allowed to take it out for 1 hour at a time, upon safe return of the vehicle we received 350RMB back- refunded. I would definitely recommend hiring the cart, even for an hour, particularly when doing around the miniature buildings of the great wall and the temples as it’s a long way to walk in the heat!
After an hour we went in the boat ride (40RMB) , unfortunately we did crash into the wall (complete accident by the lady driving) 😂 but it was a nice 30 minute sit down, we got close to the waterfall which was nice to see.
There wasn’t much to DO, more like things to SEE. If you’re looking for something to do on a cloudy day, I’d recommend going here once!

Edinburgh zoo
It's an absolutely amazing place went with some friends. the staff are extremely helpful and lovely would recommend it so much many fun facts to learn and things to do for kids. some really good Caffès littered around the park. and an extensive gift shop.
I would definitely recommend taking a whole day as it's a relatively big place and maybe a map of the zoo if you haven't been before. It's around £26 for an adult, but you definitely are getting your moneys worth !!

the possibility are endless in this undeniable location also not to mention but their is also endless activity sightseeing places and more to do here. London has my heart. #london #opotinities #dayout
Museum of Art and History is a must see
The Museum of Art and History is a captivating treasure trove of culture and heritage, nestled in the heart of the city. As an avid museum-goer, I had the pleasure of visiting this remarkable institution recently, and I must say it left a lasting impression. Here's my review of this cultural gem.
First and foremost, the museum's architecture is a work of art in itself. The building seamlessly blends modern design with classical elements, creating an inviting and aesthetically pleasing atmosphere from the moment you approach its entrance. The spacious courtyard with carefully manicured gardens is a tranquil oasis that offers a delightful respite before delving into the exhibits.
One highlight of my visit was the well-presented exhibit on the local history of the region. It provided valuable insights into the area's indigenous cultures, early settlers, and the evolution of the city itself. The interactive displays and multimedia presentations were not only informative but also engaging, making it easy for visitors of all ages to connect with the past.
The art collection at the museum is equally impressive, featuring masterpieces from renowned artists alongside contemporary works pushing the boundaries of creativity. The diversity of the pieces on display ensures that there's something to captivate every art aficionado. The museum's commitment to fostering artistic appreciation was evident in the well-lit and spacious galleries that allowed each piece to shine.
Throughout my visit, I appreciated the thoughtful inclusion of multimedia elements, such as audio guides and touch-screen information panels, which added depth to my understanding of the exhibits. The museum's staff members were also knowledgeable and enthusiastic, ready to answer questions and provide valuable insights into the collections.

Slopes for skating at ECP
Skaters in Singapore gotta know this place! This place is located at East Coast Park, near carpark D4 (where there is free parking).
It is easily recognized by the red top and blue slopes that imitate actual waves in the sea. I was told that this spot used to be the swimming pool of an old chalet that has since been decommissioned.
It is today a popular spot for cyclist, skateboarders, rollerbladers and even kickscooters to do drop ins from the top of the ramp. The slope is gradual and the ground is very smooth and hence suitable for such skating activities.
