Back to work after a good ten days away and it ain’t hard to get back into the swing of things, especially when I know it’s going to be an exceptionally short week cause we’re going on yet another getaway this weekend!

The holiday was such a well-deserved break. We had hot chocolate in the falling snow, shopped crazily for skin care stuff in Seoul (I lugged back an insane amount of Laneige), walked into random small eateries at Jeju and had the best pizza of our lives and enjoyed the sweetest strawberries with cream! Shanghai was amazing – I can’t enough of The Bund!

I stood there for the longest time, on a cold, windy night, amongst hordes of tourists and uttered a million times that I’m in love.

We also found the best tang baos and I had my hairy crab fix. I totally wrecked my diet, but it’s a holiday, right?

This trip really reignited the desire in me to relocate again – travelling for work just doesn’t seem to cut it anymore. We bumped into his colleague whilst having drinks at Morton’s and I couldn’t help feeling really envious that he’s now doing his undergraduate studies in Shanghai and his wife’s working there too.

In other happier news, the hotel we got in Shanghai was amazing. I thought Lebua was the best we could ever get.. but this one had a bedding menu and the most comfy sheets and my dream bathroom with a big round tub and his/her sinks. Room rates typically start from $600 a night but we got an extremely good deal – I feel like I totally need to take credit for this. What do you think I was doing when I spent those many evenings ploughing through every possible hotel booking site?
