Bring home the taste with me
I might not be the only one on earth doing so.
I'd always love to not only enjoy the taste of local food when travelling, but also bringing them home as much as possible. In a way, this allows me to linger in the bit and pieces of the foreign land advanture...
From the recent trip, Ming and I purposely made trips to local markets in Paris and London. And we were happy about the findings. We bought different kinds of olives, sea salt with herbs, parma ham, salami, macarons and chips. The other day after I returned, I sat myself at the table with a plate of a bit of everything, sweet and salty, along with half bottle of merlot. The taste simply brought me back to the sunny day in Paris...

Eat Oyster in Paris
As told by the old French lady who sat next to us, Garnier is the second best oyster place in Paris. Near to Galeries Lafayette/ Printemp (see address below).
We chosed to sit at the Oyster Bar as it is almost EUR4 cheaper per 6 pieces and the service is actually better (given the two black faced waiter and waitress in the dining room). Besides oyster, Bulot is also very crisp and sweet, it is just sinful when it is covered with mayonnaise...
Some more oyster recommendations from the internet (忠道的巴黎小站)

Life less ordinary
Among the ordinary life, I'd love to be less ordinary. A friend said, my stories in life repeated itself over and over again.
Well, I wish my life is ordinary yet less ordinary and I am trying to live one.
Or, this is just a way to comfort myself... about not having a life that everyone besides me is expecting, that is, to meet the "right" guy, date, get marry, give birth to a cute little one, working hard to raise him/her...
Is it important to live upto people's expectation or simply have an enjoyable life with a worry-free future!?
