Gochugaru Girl watched the film Shanghai Calling again recently.
It definitely was more fun watching it after our visit to the city in October.
Travel
Shanghai: People’s Square Station
Gochugaru Girl wanted to experience the metro whilst in Shanghai.
Shanghai Metro has a unique feature, unavailable on the London Underground, or on any Western metro system.
Shanghai: A Room with a View
Gochugaru Girl had so many choices when considering where to stay in Shanghai.
This is a city where, literally, the sky is the limit.
Shanghai Calling
Gochugaru Girl has a lot of catching up to do.
A month has nearly passed since our sun-filled trip to the Far East.
24 Hours in Lantau
Gochugaru Girl has 24 hours in Lantau Island to rest before an onward flight to Shanghai.
To maximise both sightseeing and sleep time we are staying as close to the airport as possible.
Sichuan Dried Chillies
Gochugaru Girl has a treasured jar of deep-red dried chillies.
The chillies look ordinary but they have a very interesting provenance.
South Korea: Lunch in Suwon
Gochugaru Girl has two worries when travelling to a new country.
The first concerns understanding the language.
Healthy & Fresh Korean Kitchen – The Bibigo Cookbook
Gochugaru Girl loves Bibigo London. She loves it so much she even went to look for Bibigo in Seoul on her recent trip there. Now she has discovered their cookbook*.
It wasn’t exactly an auspicious start as I really did not want to try Korean food.
Date and Orange Cake
Gochugaru Girl likes bringing home different types of food from her travels.
I was intrigued by a bottle of date and orange jam when supermarket shopping recently.
