India amazes me every single day. In the good, the bad, the funny, the colorful, the smelly, the ugly, the humbling, the tasty, the smiley, the spicy, the bitter… and even when it comes to something as mundane as electricity! This electricity post spotted in Old Delhi is not one … more »

So what would you like to have?
Ravenous, we were walking around Central in Hong Kong. The only restaurant in sight was one that specialized in Shenzhen cuisine. Shenzhen is in the south of China and their specialty are dishes with goose. We ducked into the restaurant and were offered goose. Zara decided to play it safe … more »
