Stay in Paris

Paris has always been known to be the most romantic city. I used to wonder why it was called such until I got the opportunity to pay a visit there. Just a short walk down the famous Champs Elysee with its warm lights on a cold night was enough to put romantic ideas into anyone's mind!

However, like all popular cities, Paris Hotels can be very expensive especially during popular seasons like summer or Christmas when tourists from all over Europe and the world descend into this city. I've heard that some Paris Hotels can even cost up to 500 Euros a night especially if you get one near the famous attractions in the city. So where should you head if you're a tourist and are looking for a decent priced Paris Hôtels? Short of asking a Frenchman to guide you to a reasonable París Hoteles, try booking online with http://www.hotelsenfrancais.com/France/Paris/ to get the best deals in town! Viva la Paris!

Greener Earth

Sometimes when I look around our country, I realise how inadequate we are in trying to save the Earth. There are hardly any recycling centres around and people here don't believe in using second hand items. This is so different from the Western countries such as US or Germany. There, recycling is constantly emphasized and some business even sell used electronic items which have been serviced and are running well again such as used cisco products. We should learn from them how to make the Earth a better place.

Own Luggage

Can you believe that for someone who has traveled quite extensively, I don't own a proper suitcase? Heh..I guess I was lucky because whenever we traveled as a family, my parents always had a spare Samsonite suitcase for me to use and whenever I traveled alone, I could always borrow one from my siblings or parents. However, I think it's time I started looking around for my own luggage. Perhaps I'll get a Samsonite luggage case in the next sale. It should come in handy for our UK trip next March.

Hotel Souvenirs

Are you a collector of hotel souvenirs? One of my colleagues who is an avid business traveller has amassed a huge collection of promotional pens that hotels normally give their guests in the rooms. He says it's useful to have them around the place whenever he needs them. However, I do wonder if there's a need to have so many of them! I sometimes do take pens as well but I usually take only those from the good hotels as I find that they write better and last longer compared to the cheaper ones from cheaper hotels. Whatever it is, just ensure that you take only the complimentary items!

Holidaying with Insurance

I recently met a friend whom I hadn't seen in a while and found that she had quit her job and was now selling term life insurance policies. She told me that it was tough initially to convince people to allow her to make a term life insurance quote for them but over time, as people began to trust her, her business slowly grew and now she's enjoying lots of free holidays all around the world from her insurance company. She has been on 5-star holidays to US, Japan and so many other countries! While I'm glad for her, I'm not sure if I can do the same kind of business.

Outdoor Enthusiasts

A friend and her boyfriend are serious outdoor people. They love hopping into their truck and taking it out to the jungle for a bit of off roading adventure or throwing their mountain bicycles at the back for a fun ride through the jungle path. They would really invest, as well, in truck accessories to ensure their truck has all the necessary equipment and gadgets to complement their outdoor lifestyle! This is so unlike couch potato me!

Lost Charger

I seem to have lost my camera charger cable. I remember passing it to Mom to charge the camera before they left on their trip to Cambodia but now it is nowhere to be found and my digital camera battery is starting to run into the red! I had better go home and look harder for it. I can’t afford to have my camera battery dying on me without any charger!
