“Hey my friend, where you goAAA?” said the Tuk Tuk driver with a great big smile. The nasally way he stressed the last letters of the sentence tickled my insides and I nearly giggled out loud. “Yea, umm, I want to go to the palace…and this temple…and the sleeping Buddha.

The Best Waffle In Sweden & How To Make Your Own
It’s so symmetrical, so golden, and so perfectly complimented by cloud berries and homemade vanilla ice cream that I can’t help but stare in admiration, gratitude and lust. I hover closer, still in awe, when suddenly a warm waft of fried butter, dough, and powdered sugar shatters my stupor. My fork forcefully descends. It cuts off an infant sized piece of […]
