Almost 10 minutes of amazing music. Thanks to all the people sharing pictures and videos of the unique event that took place in Toronto’s Koerner Hall on October, 20th, 2012.

My beach mode was turned on after visiting the beautiful Shek O Beach last week. There was no set plan for this weekend but we knew that Tai Long Wan Beach is considered by many one of the best Hong Kong beaches. With the information on how to get there and a camping store phone […]

A few nights ago I celebrated my birthday in Hong Kong. The advantage of celebrating a special occasion in a foreign place is that no matter what you decide to do you will be doing something new or different. There is no much planning needed, at least for me. We went out in the neighbourhood […]

Cuba made it to the front page of different Canadian newspapers again. I am glad when my small and noisy island gets to the international news and people are able to see and hopefully learn something about such an isolated country. Now the reason is sports, in particular the defection of athletes in a recent […]

It takes 70 minutes from Jordan station to Shek O beach by public transportation. In little more than an hour you can be in a warm and stunning Hong Kong beach. The double-decker bus ride itself shows a nice view of the rocky mountains and the blue ocean. The popular area is crowded on weekends […]

This weekend flew by for me. I wanted to go to one of the HK sandy beaches for at least half a day and I kept waking up late and getting lost in the concrete city. The unexpected highlight of the weekend came yesterday when a friend from HK recommended us to visit Lantau Island […]

List# 4 is devoted to French goodies. I am sure the list of tasty dishes and products could never end. This past year I have been enjoying food a lot. As usual, I have been taking pictures of what I eat in different places as I forget easily. Here is the list that I made […]

Rice is a product that you find on the table of each Cuban family every day. It explains why the rice cooker is so valuable in a Cuban kitchen. When I was growing up there was no way to buy a rice cooker at the regular stores, only a few Cubans had the privilege of […]

We took the metro (MTR) from Jordan station in Kowloon to Central station on Hong Kong island. The subway connection is great between the islands, the metro is clean and they have the fastest escalators I have ever seen. If you are considered tall in Europe you will quickly realized how many places are designed […]

Now that I have been travelling for over a year with a backpack (a big Mountain Co-op Equipment backpack) I have had several people asking me how it is possible for me to manage with so few things. The reality is that there is not much that you really need. At the moment my backpack […]

After a seven – hour flight from Paris, a three – hour transit in Dubai and another seven hours on another plane we arrived in Hong Kong. The time change messed my schedule up like never before. Today is the second day in HK and I am still going to bed past 4 am. We […]

Last week I went to a couple of museums in Paris, as a part of the accelerated tour we were giving a Cuban friend who was visiting the city for a few days. Of course, Musee d’Orsay was on top of our list of things to do. We went straight to the 5th floor to start […]
