Taking a step back further to revisit the yesteryears of the Aloha State pre-WW2, right at the heart of the Capitol district in Downtown Hon

Starting the day right with breakfast at Egghead Cafe, a small and tucked away brunch scene in Kaka'ako, Downtown Honolulu. Eggs Benedict Chocolate Chip Pancakes Chocolate Milk Thanks to this Food & Drinks menu, I was able to deliberately choose which meal to order back when I was still in Cebu hehehe.

The highlight of which is the Gyeongbokgung Palace in Jongno-gu district (경복궁-종로구); located at the hear

안녕하세요! This out of the country trip is (what I'd like to think) solely for the purpose of my licensure exam. But luckily for me, the plane ticket my travel agent booked (shoutout to Ms. Claire of Globemate) has a 13-hour layover in South Korea 🇰🇷, which I know will have enough time for me to go around and tour.
