I don’t eat to live, I live to eat.
International On our latest flight to Japan, we decided to fly with Japan Airlines (JAL). In the past, we have mostly flown with Air Canada. Since the prices were more reasonable with JAL, we gave up trying to book with a Star Alliance airline. We did not get to earn Aeroplan miles, but I have… Continue reading Japan Airlines Economy Class (International) and Class J (Domestic) Review
Our holiday hoodie campaign was a success! Thanks for all your support. Did you know that donations to food banks are much higher in the winter months compared to the summer months? This time of year can be stressful for some families who will no longer have access breakfast and lunch programs at school*. 100%… Continue reading Bowsing Nom Noms Summer T-shirt Campaign

With Priority Pass, we had two options at the YVR international terminal: either the classic Premium Plaza Lounge or the Sky Team Lounge. The Premium Plaza Lounge was immediately after security… Continue reading Review of Sky Team Lounge at YVR

We flew Air Canada so we can only comment on their Premium Economy class. Do share your own experiences with… Continue reading Flying Premium Economy with Air Canada from Taipei to Vancouver
Last day in Taipei and also the last day of our trip. It’s hard to believe. I did not have a good night’s sleep at all, as I was up all night coughing and blowing my nose. Aaron wasn’t feeling the best either, so we ended up starting our day late at 10am. Soy Milk… Continue reading Taipei Day 3
