Rio de Janeiro Brazil 2016 Olympics

October 3rd, 2009

Rio de Janeiro will host the 2016 Olympics. The Brazilian city will host the first ever Summer Olympics in the South American continent. Rio de Janeiro beat rival Olympic bidding cities Madrid, Tokyo and Chicago.

Clam Chowder Galore

May 1st, 2009

A visit to San Francisco will not be complete if you will not try their famous Clam Chowder in sourdough bread.

I would like to share my Clam Chowder experience here:

We went to Fisherman’s Wharf and looked around for a good place to grab the chowder. We tried the clam chowder in the outside food stalls.

At the Airport

April 18th, 2009

I’m now blogging from the laptop station of Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Terminal 2 using free wifi I hijacked somewhere.

Unlike my last Taipei Trip the airport is not too crowded now. I got this habit of coming to the airport early for a US trip since last year (I made some major booboo cause me to miss my flight) and to kill some time while not… Read the rest of this entry »
