legally blonde: the musical

Posted in theatre, toronto, tagged , , , , , , , on July 8, 2010 | Leave a Comment »

I was lucky to catch the opening night performance of Legally Blonde: The Musical at Toronto’s Princess of Wales Theatre last night. If you liked the movie, you’ll love the show. It barely strays from the storyline of the film and throughout the performance, you could hear the audience collectively holding their breath, just waiting [...]

It’s okay that I’m totally jealous of my boyfriend right now, right? This is the view from his hotel room in Capri. And this is me at my desk at work, wearing a wrist brace from WORKING TOO HARD. I’m just saying … If you want to see more of Capri, you should follow him [...]

delayed in zurich

So, I’m delayed in Zurich Airport and I’ve got plenty of time to kill. I’m hanging out in the lounge and all around me are stranded passengers, sleeping in uncomfortable positions on the chairs and leather couches. I’m thinking about joining them but knowing me, I’ll fall into such a deep sleep I’ll miss my [...]

beautiful chexbres

It seems hard to believe but Switzerland just keeps getting better and better. Just when you think the landscape couldn’t possibly get more beautiful … it does. Right before your very eyes, it continues to transform from one stunning vignette into another. Yesterday, I had the thrill of visiting Chexbres. It’s a municipality in the [...]

a boat ride on lake geneva

Posted in Switzerland, travel, vacations, tagged , , , , , , on May 9, 2010 | 1 Comment »

We took a solar boat for a ride this afternoon, along Lake Geneva. Seriously, this place couldn’t get any more beautiful. Across the way are the French Alps. Here, France is just over 14 kilometres away from the Swiss side. And the mountains in Evian loom in the near distance. Unlike yesterday’s kind and moderate [...]

impromptu lausanne

You know how you can spend a lot of money on an expensive toy for a child only to discover that they’re just as content (more content, even) banging on the pots and pans in the kitchen than they are playing with their overpriced toy? Well, that’s sort of what happened today. We had all [...]

lausanne, i love you

So long, farewell Zurich. It’s off to Lausanne we go! A two-hour train ride from Zurich Main Station deposited us off in the picturesque town of Lausanne. Instant love. It might have had something to do with the fact that Lausanne greeted us with clear, sunny skies and warm air, while Zurich had been a [...]

zurich: day three

Our trip to Zurich was jam-packed with things to do. It’s tough to see and do everything a city has to offer in just a few short days but we sure gave it a good ol’ college try. We started out with what turned out to be the highlight of the day: A cooking class [...]

zurich: day two

I start the day off with breakfast at the hotel to fuel up for a morning of exploring Zurich on foot. This city is breathtaking. Despite the cloudy skies and chilly air, the city looms grand and impressive at every turn. Our tour guide begins by taking us to Bahnhofstrasse, one of the world’s most [...]

zurich: day one

Posted in Switzerland, travel, vacations, tagged , , on May 6, 2010 | Leave a Comment »

I landed in Zurich at around 6am yesterday morning and was exhausted. I didn’t sleep on the seven-hour, 10-minute flight (part excitement, part couldn’t-get-comfortable) but once the plane’s wheels touched terre firma I was pumped up, ready for my adventure. From the airport, I took a train to Zurich Main Station and then a tram [...]
