It’s been a loooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnngggggggggggg time in the making, but I’m finally in Italy.

How am I the only person sitting in this rooftop bar on a Saturday night at 6:30pm, in one of the highest hotels and buildings in Chiang Mai, watching the sunset? The mojito is delicious, and quite strong for a mere 150thb. Thank you Thailand. A cocktail and a view like this in Sydney would... Continue Reading →
