A Scottish Breakfast for Lunch at Deacon’s House Cafe (Edinburgh, Scotland)
Breakfast is my favourite meal of the day, not because of when it’s consumed but because of what’s traditionally consumed with it. I set no temporal bounds on when I might enjoy a few rashers of bacon, or some buttered scrambled eggs; I’d be just as happy to have them at dusk as I wouldContinue reading “A Scottish Breakfast for Lunch at Deacon’s House Cafe (Edinburgh, Scotland)”
A Croissant and Coffee Breakfast at Hideout Cafe Old Town (Edinburgh, Scotland)
I’ve arrived in Edinburgh bright and early, eager to set off on a full day of sightseeing. At the same time, the disappointingly small breakfast served aboard my train from London has left me feeling a bit peckish. What’s a starving lad to do?

Since I was with company for much of the day, I didn’t explore the city (or its famous university) to the degree that IContinue reading ““Funnily enough, I don’t feel any smarter”: Day 2 of my UK adventure (6th June 2022)”
“Tell the Queen I’ve come for tea”: Day 1 of my UK adventure (5th June 2022)
Before the pandemic began, I maintained a comfortable habit of visiting Japan and Korea on an annual basis…and venturing pretty much nowhere else. (Not even to other parts of the Philippines outside my home region.) Sure, the occasional family holiday would take me on detours beyond that well-trodden path, but as a solo traveller myContinue reading ““Tell the Queen I’ve come for tea”: Day 1 of my UK adventure (5th June 2022)”
“Mum, I’m going out for my visa appointment”: The lead-up to my 2022 UK adventure
Step into my shoes for a moment. It’s early 2022. The pandemic’s been raging for the better part of two years, you’ve been imprisoned in your own backyard for all that time due to border closures, you’re bent over from work stress at a job that you loathe, all the news that you see onContinue reading ““Mum, I’m going out for my visa appointment”: The lead-up to my 2022 UK adventure”
