Somehow, it always rains wherever Boyfriend and I go; Seoul, Tokyo, Osaka, Taipei, Nanjing, Suzhou.

It didn’t go well, to say the least. This past weekend, Boyfriend and I spent 3 days in Taipei. The day before we left, Boyfriend was throwing up a lot, and we didn’t think much of it.

Our … Continue reading Alisha Explores Guilin

As our first activity, we went to the Nanjing … Continue reading Alisha Explores Nanjing and Suzhou

Well, I had no … Continue reading Alisha Explores Haining City and sees the tides change
This past weekend was the Dragonboat festival in China, meaning a 3 day weekend for me and the rest of China. When trying to decide where to go for the holiday weekend, a number of places came to mind. It ultimately came down to costs, and Guangzhou won the vacation race. We left for Guangzhou Saturday morning at 5:30 am. My brain does not work … Continue reading Alisha Explores Guangzhou and bikes a whole lot/watches World Cup
With Korean Spas I guess my cover photo isn’t of that. but it was also my other love As our first international trip from China, Boyfriend and I chose to visit Seoul, South Korea. It was a country neither of us had been to and the flights were pretty cheap (i mean, that’s really sometimes the determining factor) (and okay…maybe i’ve spent 6 hours in … Continue reading Alisha Explores Seoul…And Falls In Love
