1001 Places/Experiences to See or Savour after Remission #13
- Chao Tar Beehoon, Shi Wei Tian Restaurant, Joo Chiat Place, Singapore
(They really sell this thingie called chao tar beehoon? I thought it was only available from Mum's cooking..and only when she over-fries it? Well, this chao tar "kick" was there, alright and it was surprisingly tasty. This is indeed real comfort food, just the way Mum would have cooked it..go there, bring back the old memories and be surprised..)
**unfortunately, as of Jan 2013, this restaurant appeared to have gone kaput

Places/Experiences to See or Savour After Remission #12
- Parndorf Designer Outlet, Vienna, Austria
(Over 150 quality outlets in 1 location? Is this real or am I in a dream? Surely, this must be one of the top designer outlets in the world. And with Gucci and Prada on the mall-listing, one can easily burn a hole in the pockets. 50% off, 70% off...wow! You know you had a good time when you have to stop at the Samsonite shop to bring your 'captures' back to the hotel room..)

- Neuschwanstein Castle, Bavaria, Germany
(Walt Disney saw this castle and decided to make it their own famous logo; Amazing Race saw it too and decided to turn it into a pitstop for Season 20..and I can see why. It is beautiful, even if it was just seen from ouside. After a backbreaking, frost-bite-inducing 25min walk up the hills in -11C winter, it was very much worth it !)
