One of the perks of Employment in France is Restaurant Vouchers (Titre Restaurant). This is given by employers that usually don’t run a canteen to subsidise the costs of your meal during working days. I notice this voucher quite a while ago when I was looking after Belgium as part of my IT Service Management […]
Growing up in Malaysia, one of my favourite breakfast cereal was Koko Krunch by Nestle. It is a chocolate cereal with a Koala Bear as a logo. When I arrived in France, I discovered that Koko has a twin called Pico which is a chocolate loving dog. The cereal is also called Chocapic. What I […]
A bit of a arrogant title as a track but the song is so iconic and represents another phase of K-Pop aiming for world domination. 2NE1 pronounced as the number 21 is a quartet girl group from Korea. They competed in MTV Iggy’s Best New Band of The World and eventually emerged as champions in […]
Enjoying our time here in France and taking in every moment to visit the museums and galleries. This is one is by far our favourite. It is part of the Natural History Museum but the Atrium or Main Gallery is definately a sight to take in. I immediately drew comparisons to the Natural History Museum […]
Clon consists of Kang Won-rae and Koo Jun-yup. This K-Pop duo made a debut in 1996 and was around the same time I discovered H.O.T. thanks to my sister. An unfortunate incident in 2000 have left the other half of the pop duo paralyze from the waist down. The other half is DJing as DJ […]

It is one of the many galleries located at Jardin Des Plantes. Although I have their annual museum […]
I was first introduced to K-Pop by my second sister. It was quite often that either Channel V or MTV Asia will play a Korean Chart Show in the evening and we will be recording some of the music videos on VHS to be replayed later. Although we don’t understand Korean, we are often attracted […]
Once I settled in France, I wanted to stream Thor Love and Thunder but was surprised it wasn’t available on Disney+ (Thankfully my UK account and subscription still works). I recall it being released to stream when I left the UK but didn’t think too much of it. Over the weekend, my kids wanted to […]
Rotating through Taiwanese artists, I recall listening to Machi for the first time mainly because the track remixes the original song by Missy Elliot, Work It. I can’t believe this track “Jump 2003” is now twenty years old. There is another version that has Missy Elliot’s vocals in it. They rap in my native Hokkein […]
I was active on Olio when I was living in Woking and frequently visit the local fruit stall for bargains. I have yet to find an equivalent of them here in Paris but discovered the bargain box of fruits and vegetables at my local Carrefour which gives me the same satisfaction. I found similar box […]
