Yup I started a 30 day vegan challenge on March 5, 2012. What sparked this decision? Well I had already decided that I was going to start eating clean and working out after I returned from vacation in Southeast Asia.

Day 7 : Singapore Botanical Garden
My last full day in Singapore is upon me :( On this day I chose to visit the Singapore Botanical Garden, Vegan Burg and Marina Bay. Check out the photo story below.

Day 3: Malaysia Street Food Tour!
When I was walking down the steps to exit the hostel this is what I saw: Thank you drunken man for solidifying the fact that need to stay somewhere else tonight! I stepped over him and carried on. It was 8am and nothing was open. So I headed in the direction of Times Square mall again. I passed the bench I stopped on the night before. I looked up an realized that the mall … [Read more...]

I decided I would visit the Islamic Arts … [Read more...]
