Beautiful Christmas lights in Madrid
Although travelling in the winter can be troublesome - you need to pack thicker clothes which makes your luggage heavier and the day is much shorter, you get Christmas lights, Christmas markets and festive events that you don’t have in the summer.
If you walk by Gran Via, Retiro and most robust areas in Madrid, you instantly feel the joy and excitement of the winter season with the festive songs that being played in shops and the decorations in the street and department stores.
The winter in Madrid isn’t horribly cold (around 10 degree on average) - you get to feel the change of season but still manage to do most outdoor activities without feeling frozen.

Heidelberger 2022🎅
I was here once back in 2019, and thought to myself I need to visit this city again. Heidelberg is such a unique love place in Germany specially right now!! with the magical touch of Christmas 🎄 make it much more wonderful. If you plan to find something to eat in the Christmas market, I suggest you to go there a bit early (18.00 maybe) because I found out that the more late night the less appetizing the food look. But other than that nothing to complain.
Enjoy your trip and don’t forget to put the Christmas market’s cup from each town to fulfill your souvenir collection 😉

Hungarian specialty at Christmas Market
#celebratewithtrip
Langos is a deep fat fried dough and a traditional Hungarian treat. You can put different toppings of your choice either savory or sweet.
Langos is always available every year at the Christmas Market.
Every Christmas time, it is one of the food that I buy and I always go to the same Langos stall which at Liebfrauenberg at Neue Kräme Street.
If you like a savoury taste, I would recommend the sour cream topping which is the traditional one. I tried the one with sour cream and cheese, but I like the one without cheese better.
If you like a sweet one, there are many options from cinnamon and sugar, Nutella, fruit jam and some other.

Going to Offenbach for the Christmas Market
#celebratewithtrip
Hello there y‘all! Going to visit Offenbach soon?
I went there yesterday to visit the Christmas Market to try some christmas specialties! As you know, Germany is known for its Weihnachtsmarkt Tradition and it opens mostly on the 1st week of Advent. As of this year the Christmas Markets open earlier due to a 2 year break due to Covid.
Offenbach is a neighbour city of Frankfurt. It only takes 11 minutes by SBahn (fast train) S1 and S9 from Hauptwache to Offenbach Marktplatz.

Offenbach‘s Christmas Market
#celebratewithtrip
Weihnachtsmarkt (Christmas Market) is a German tradition that starts on the 1st week of Advent.
This Monday, Offenbach, a neighbour city of Frankfurt, opened its Wiehnachtsmarkt a week earlier than usual!
Offenbach is an 11 minutes ride from Frankfurt Hauptwache easy by SBahn 1 and 9.
It was a nice to be able to enjoy the Christmas spirit again after 2 years of Weihnachtsmarkt‘s absence due to COVID.

Pop-up craft market
Address - 167/169 Telok Ayer Street, #02-01, Singapore 068618
In Singapore, Christmas is the season to look out for pop-up markets that sell awesome and unique Christmas gifts for giving to friends and loved ones. Naiise is a locally owned brand that specializes in curating quirky, chic products that sometimes have a Singaporean humour twist to it.
The market was really fun to walk as the decor gave off that festive vibe! It was convenient that they accepted both cash and credit card for easy payment.
My overall rating of the experience: 4 out of 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Christmas time - Shanghai
I’ve always to go to Shanghai during Christmas time and that’s exactly what I did this year.
I was in Shanghai on Christmas Day and I had a blast!!
As per usual, The Bund is a stunning place to visit. My friends and I wanted to go to the famous German Christmas Market but the tickets were sold out. Instead, we decided to go to the BFC (Bund Finance Center) Christmas Market and it was amazing (and surprisingly free!!!).
I highly recommend you try the apple cider, it’s delicious!
There are a lot of snacks and the ambiance is amazing!
We also went to Captain, a nice restaurant located in the Bund. You get a stunning view of the city.
I love Shanghai and if you haven’t had a chance to visit yet, I’m sure you will love Shanghai too! ❤️

Shangrila Premier Balcony Suite
there are only three Garden Wing One-Bedroom Suites in the Shangri-La Hotel, Singapore and the one that I was assigned to on this stay is actually slightly special (and relatively larger). Located in the beautiful and lush Garden Wing, the One-Bedroom Suites are typically 81 sqm in size and it comes with an expansive Bougainvillea-laden balcony where you can enjoy the sun and fresh air. Previously, booking the Garden Wing One-Bedroom Suite will give you access to the Horizon Club Lounge (located in the Tower Wing) as with the full range of privileges but since the Tower Wing is currently closed off to staycation-goers, you will not be able to enjoy this for the time being. With that being said, you should notice that the room rates at the Shangri-La Hotel, Singapore have been adjusted to reflect these changes - the cheapest flexible room rate starts from just S$300++ in the Garden Wing now where formerly, it would be difficult to find anything below S$400++.

St Regis Suite
St Regis is one of the classic hotels along Orchard Road. Built in the early 2000s, it was where Donald Trump stayed when he met Kim Jong Un in Singapore.
Don’t get me wrong, it is overall a very comfortable choice. However, it was a rather uninspiring hotel which has not been majorly renovated since it’s inception. Not one I would be craving to return to. The St Regis suite was the smallest available and boasted separate living room, huge toilet with standalone bathtub and bedroom. Definitely enough space for the family to spread out. Butler service was prompt and hot chocolates delivered without drama (**NOTE: Butler service are now reduced to 11am-4pm daily, which is a significant downgrade). The decor was an eclectic mix of French and middle eastern bling.
