Sun and Pizza in Ottawa

It was my first layover in Ottawa, Canada, so I explored the city.

I took a bus from the hotel to downtown. It was a bit far but an easy relaxing ride. 

Byward Market is a famous place to walk, eat, and shop. Benches were available for people to sit and enjoy the sun. So why not sit with the crowd and enjoy the nice weather. 



Did I say I finished the whole 12 inches pizza? Yes, I did! I ordered my favorite pesto pizza which was really good, plus it was half the price, which made it even better.  I was planning to take half of the pizza for my lunch the next day, but it will be oily and messy, so I ate the whole pizza! It was thinly sliced anyway, so it wasn’t really that filling.  I call this day my “splurge on pizza day.” The bad thing was, I couldn’t afford to eat the famous dessert they sell on the street. 

It was my nice first layover in Ottawa.  It is a beautiful, diverse yet laid back place to live.

Winter Travel: Madrid to San Sebastian

  Fancying a trip to Spain? We always go to the not-so-touristy spots, as much as possible. So on one winter trip, we decided to hop on the bus and feasted on the sights along the six-hour ride going to San Sebastian. The magical wintry path going from Madrid was worth the long journey up north. Our team enjoyed the best of San Sebastian, which included the stunning sunset, its coastline, seafood, and of course, THE cheesecake! Best to go before or after Christmas, so that the shops and restaurants are open. Don't forget to try Bar Sport for the seafood pinchos. The place is always full but never disappoints! Tips (mostly at the Old Town): For tapas - Bar Sport Historic accommodation - Hotel Maria Cristina Affordable but reallyyyy nice accommodation - Hotel Zinema 7 Cheesecake - Bassk Cheesecakers Bus ride cost - 44 euros, Madrid to San SebastiĆ”n via Alsa

Living in Prague, Czech Republic as a Filipino

My recent visit to Prague, Czech Republic led me to the idea of asking for more information about staying there. It is a beautiful country, full of culture and life.  My friend and former colleague, Rysa Alenzuela, LL.B., Ph.D., is the best person to provide the details I wanted for my short video. She has been living there for some time now. We're proud of her because she's the first Asian (Filipino) to head a prestigious institution.  Watch it and learn more about Prague. You'll love to visit after.
