One-hour train ride from Pisa to Florence!
Saturday, September 9, 2018. Day 6:
Today we checked out of Hotel La Pace and had a breakfast at Cofer Bar before taking the train to Florence. We had a simple mozzarella and tomato panini but it was not so simple because it was delicious. The staff heated it up for us so that the panini bread was crispy and Continue reading
Stroganoff Restaurant located at 10 Headdon Gate in Richmond Hill
November 30, 2018: Yay! We finally got to try this restaurant out! We came to this restaurant, Stroganoff Restaurant, a few weeks ago on a Sunday during the Remembrance Day weekend where it just so happened that many restaurants in the area were all closed. When we walked in on that day, despite seeing unoccupied tables inside Stroganoff Restaurant, we were turned down because their tables were already all 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
