Little Random Details About Me

We finally made a trip to Saint Petersburg, the second largest city in Russia. My parents were in town and Saint Petersburg was part of the itinerary for them. The place is generally more tourist friendly as compared to Moscow. The signs were printed in English and most people could speak English too. This made moving around much easier. We left Moscow on the Red Arrow, a Russian sleeper train that connects Moscow and Saint Petersburg. This is the most historic overnight train and is still one of the best. We took the Sapsan, the bullet train for our return trip. It takes only 4 hours. We slept in a cabin of 4. Supper and breakfast are also provided.

I would go back to have it again. This is much better than Pu...

I am the new IKEA model! kidding..... hahah IKEA was doing some roadshow at the mall and everyone had a chance to be on the cover of the IKEA catalogue. We also get a physical copy of the actual catalogue with our face printed on it. Isn't it cool? I'm not sure if it's the lightings or camera function but everyone turned out good. There were no editing done. I got the raw pic and I think we both looked pretty good hah. Cheers to IKEA!
