Dragon’s Back to Big Wave Bay

I had another extra day off work this week, as we had to work sports day on Saturday, so were given Monday off in lieu. This meant many of the people I usually spend weekends with were still at work, as they are in different schools, so I…

Outfit – Something Wicked This Way Comes

Halloween is coming, so I'm channelling something a little bit naughty in today's outfit. I haven't posted any 'going out' ensembles recently, although I have been out quite a few times in Hong Kong - night time fashion here ranges from super casual to super fancy, so this…

Hiking to Mirror Pool Waterfall

Wednesday was a public holiday here in Hong Kong - Chung Yeung Festival, a day when many locals go to worship at their ancestors' graves. It falls on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, making it a potentially dangerous date, according to tradition, but this can…

Wong Tai Sin Temple

This past weekend, we headed out to see another of Hong Kong's more popular tourist attractions. The city is bursting with temples, but Wong Tai Sin (also known as Sik Sik Yuen) Temple is one of the most popular, with its beautifully ornate, traditional architecture, and numerous pavilions…

Outfit – Sailor Style

There's something quite nautical about blue and white stripes, right? Some people might say French too, but after my year living there, I do not aim to dress like the French (it wasn't my favourite year, if you're unfamiliar with that story). Anyway, more light, easy outfits for…

All Work & No Play

At least that's what it feels like right now. Now don't get me wrong, I knew that getting a full time job would involve a lot more hours and work than I had when I was at university. I was under no illusions about working hard, and losing…

Cute Kindergarten Stories

So as regular readers will know, I'm now working as an English teacher in a kindergarten, here in Hong Kong. I recently shared what my average day looks like, and the kids follow a very regular routine every day. However, when working with kids, you learn to expect…
