Masai Mara National Reserve

One year ago today, I was in the middle of savanna, Masai Mara National Reserve, in Kenya. It was amazing to see all these wildlife from giant elephants to lion's prides to a strayed wild beast. There was so much to see, not only big animals, but also small insects and quirky plants! Can you find a tiny glowworm in the map?

Hanoi, Vietnam

Hanoi is fascinating. Lots of lovely old buildings, parks, lakes, and great shopping! The water puppet show is really worthwhile and fun. The puppets are super cute! Hanoi is one of the best cities for coffee lovers. They have lovely cafes on every corner!

Lotus Tea Ice Pops

Vietnamese lotus tea smells so relaxing. I love to have it ice cold on a hot day! Lotus tea bags and candied lotus seeds are available at Asian grocery stores. You can also use roasted peanuts instead of candied lotus seeds.

Lunchtime Fun!
