Ribana's Flavour

And today is the last day of the year. I'm still in the office and I think that is the first time that I'm working on 31 of December. But anyway I cannot complain. I had a very interesting year, full of changes and new challenges. This year, end of January we relocated in Singapore and I can say that we have started a new life...we speak a new language, have a new home, a new job....everything new, starting from zero....only with a lot of love and confidence in our hearts, and it worked!! We're very happy that we did it and we're very proud of ourselves!! Very modest...:) Now, we wait 2014, another year full of other challenges! I wish you a very happy New Year!!! ****************************************************************************************************************************************************** E oggi è l'ultimo giorno dell'anno.

I've always wondered myself how is to be in a hot country in Christmas time and I have to recognize that at least for me is very very strange.

Even if it's not snowing, the streets are full of Christmas decorations, Santa Claus, Christmas pastries and everywhere you can hear only Christmas songs. It's quite impressive. This weekend I wanted to go out and take some pictures because all Singapore is dressed in Christmas decorations but unfortunately a very bad flu kept me at home, in bed. For our first Christmas in Singapore we did this beautiful tree full of love and joy. I wish you all a Merry Merry Chr...

Definitely Singapore!! And now let me explain why for me is definitely Singapore. When we've decided to relocate in Asia, we've had some options: Singapore, Hong Kong or maybe Bangkok. Some times ago we spent a weekend in Hong Kong and last weekend we did a little trip in Bangkok. Hong Kong is a very nice city, old and new, restaurants, public transport and lifestyle quite good. The thing that I didn't like was that is too crowdy and chaotic, seems that nobody sleeps in this city. *************************************************************************************************************************************************** Sicuramente Singapore! E ora lasciatemi spiegare perché per me è sicuramente Singapore. Quando abbiamo deciso di trasferirci in Asia, abbiamo avuto alcune opzioni: Singapore, Hong Kong o forse Bangkok. Qualche tempo fa abbiamo trascorso un fine settimana a Hong Kong e lo scorso fine settimana abbiamo fatto un piccolo viaggio a Bangkok. H...
