Photo of the day: Avocado + coconut smoothie @ Five Boy Number One. Photo credit: Aaron. Moving day!

Asia Day 5: HCMC
Photo of the day: Banh Xeo @ Banh Xeo 46A I started my day early at 6am, doing some blogging. Then I received a phone call from my cousin asking if I wanted breakfast.

It was a smooth ride to Toronto's airport only to find that the… Continue reading Asia Day 1: Ottawa – Toronto – Hong Kong
