Boboli Gardens Mini Loft located at 14, Via della Chiesa, 50125 Firenze FI in Italy
September 8 to 12, 2018: Boboli Gardens Mini Loft.
This was an amazing stay! It was an apartment with a full working kitchen, living room with a fold-out sofa bed, a large washroom, and bedroom in a loft. It was a very comfortable and cozy spot to stay here in Florence.
The only thing was that because this Continue reading

Gal’s Sushi has a second location in North York! It’s in the plaza on Yonge Street north of Steeles and the World on Yonge building.
Clarissa and I had dinner here. Inside, it was nice with individual booths on the sides and dark moody atmosphere. The servers were pleasant and warm here. Continue reading
Fiaschetteria Osteria Nuvoli located at Piazza dell’Olio, 15, 50123 Firenze FI in Italy
September 8, 2018: We arrived at Fiaschetteria Osteria Nuvoli, which served lunch downstairs in their wine cellar. What a treat this was! It was gorgeous down there.
We enjoyed a bowl of Ribolitta, a Tuscan traditional vegetable bread soup; Prosciutto e Melone, local ham and melon; Porchetta Con Continue reading
If you’ve been wondering where I’ve been and how come my blog posts come in bursts and then silence, it’s because I’ve been attending to my other passion in life: steno work! 😀
In the past 10 days or so, Continue reading
I did my first deposition yesterday! It was also the first time that both counsels appeared via video conference and so only the witness was in the room with me. Imagine if the witness was there of a heinous crime, that would have been a potentially petrifying session for me! Luckily, the witness wasn’t and the session went so smoothly. Usually, I’m always apprehensive of video conferencing because the audio quality is incredibly poor Continue reading
Cofer Bar located at Piazza della Stazione, 23, 56125 Pisa PI in Italy
September 8, 2018: It was time to leave Pisa by train, so we quickly stopped into the nearest cafe to grab breakfast. We went to Cofer Bar, which was literally at the corner and in sight of the Pisa Centrale train station.
There were a lot of sandwiches and Continue reading
Finally seeing the Leaning Tower of Pisa in person!
Friday, Sept. 7, 2018. Day 5:
Today, we vacated and checked out of the Vaticumum 67 bed and breakfast. We went to the La Pasticceria Siciliana bakery for the last time to redeem our final breakfast.
This time, I got a caffe latte (fourth one in a row) and a fresh cannoli!! It was my first cannoli in Italy and I was inspired to get this Italian pastry for breakfast after I saw Continue reading
Ristorante Lo Schiaccianoci located at Via Amerigo Vespucci, 104, 56125 Pisa PI in Italy
September 7, 2018: For dinner on our single day in Pisa, we ate at Ristorante Lo Schiaccianoci. It took a while to get here since we were purposely avoiding “tourist trap” restaurants and wanted authentic local dining experiences.
Ristorante Lo Schiaccianoci was a mom and pop restaurant serving Tuscan cuisine and seafood. We were in for Continue reading
Hotel La Pace located at Viale Antonio Gramsci galleria B, 56125 Pisa PI in Italy
Sept. 7, 2018:
We stayed at Hotel La Pace for one night when we visited Pisa, Italy. This hotel is super close to the train station (just a quick 2-minute walk). It’s located between shop buildings in a small alleyway so you actually might pass by it (like we did the first time) when you are looking for it Continue reading
Numeroundici located at Via S. Martino, 47, 56125 Pisa PI in Italy
September 7, 2018: We had the best lunch here in Pisa, Italy! Sometimes, the best spots really are those that you stumble upon in small cities. We came across this unassuming cafeteria-style restaurant called Numeroundici when the one that we originally wanted to go to wasn’t open (thanks Google Maps :/). We were hungry from our four-hour train ride and this place was open for Continue reading
