I went to … Continue reading
Singapore is my kind of place to go on holiday. The weather is always the same–hot, humid (just like my beloved hometown of Houston). It’s a cosmopolitan city of many cultures–Indian, Chinese, Arabic, Western–that live harmoniously side by side.

Louisiana is a familiar destination for most Houstonians. It’s a quick drive (relatively speaking in terms of the size of Texas) and filled with exciting things like casinos, crawfish, gators and, of course Mardi Gras.
