Montreal 2.0: Day 5
On our last day in Montreal, we had to stop for some bagels. We’ve eaten bagels from St. Viateur in the past so we wanted to try Fairmount Bagel this time.

There was a billboard saying “Fashion…… Continue reading Malaysia II Day 9: Sandakan – KK

Unfortunately, it was not… Continue reading NYC Day 3: Food and Shopping Galore!
