The Book Lovers' Delight!
I love books set in countries I am not so familiar with. In particular, I love books set in India. India is a country that fascinates me from the food to the fashion and the very friendly people. Unfortunately, I haven't visited yet, at least in a way that was not through the pages of … Continue reading Book Review: Elastic Girl by Olivia Rana
After reading Shantaram, I became more intrigued with Indian culture and way of life. Still, I wasn't so fast in picking up another book from which I could learn more. Then I was offered the chance to review The Last Suttee and, boy did it provide me with new information about the country. The Last … Continue reading Book Review: The Last Suttee by Madhu Bazaz Wangu
I was at a complete loss deciding what to write for today's post. I wanted to write something new and original, but nothing would come to mind. During one of my past internships, I wrote a lot of cultural pieces and I really enjoyed doing so. Somehow, over the last few years, I seem to have … Continue reading Something Borrowed, Something Blue, Something Old, Something New – Slovenian Wedding Customs
Every time I visit London, I try to see a bit more of the vast city, and two weeks ago I spent a day hanging out in Camden Town. I am a massive market fan so this was right up my street, from the quirky stalls to the delicious food stands. I made an attempt … Continue reading A Day Out in Camden Town
One of my mini resolutions to myself this year was that I would visit more museums, etc. After nearly four years of living here, like what would happen with any city, Berlin is getting a bit stale for me. I don’t think I will be leaving it any time soon, so I made a vow to … Continue reading Museum: The Story of Berlin
I'm on Christmas holidays! Yay! That means plenty of eating, shopping and fun times with friends and family. However, it also means a step back from the blog a bit. While this is something that I love, I do think it is important to have a few days a year where we take a step … Continue reading Christmas Markets: Potsdamer Platz and Schloss Charlottenburg
Besides heading back home for the holidays on Friday, this week is basically going to consist of Christmas Market mayhem! It started off last night with a short visit to the market at Alexanderplatz. It has a carousel which I have been promising myself I will go on for 4 years now. Let's see can … Continue reading Alexanderplatz Christmas Market
Quite simply, I do not meet the Irish stereotype when it comes to whiskey. In fact, it could be said that I actually bring shame on the country's beloved drink. Why so? Because when I do drink whiskey it is mostly bourbon whiskey, and I also mix it with cola. On the odd occasion I … Continue reading The Jameson Experience
I really do not know why I am writing this post because it is going to be the same old ramble again. You all seem to like reading these types of posts though. I bet you are laughing at me fluently in German…… Well, the last time I updated you on my journey to learn the German language … Continue reading Joy Vs. German: Round 3: Failure To Learn
When my time in Berlin is over (if that ever happens) one thing I will be forever thankful for is how it has allowed me to become more open to other cultures. I used to think I knew a lot about other cultures when I still lived in Ireland, but in reality I was quite … Continue reading Experience Life: Embrace Other Cultures
