Moscow’s Streets and Eats

August 12, 2015 By Lauren 14 Comments

Outside of our time exploring the Kremlin and the metro system, Chris and I spent a lot of time in Moscow doing our two favorite things: walking the streets and trying the local fare. We had been expecting harsh, Soviet-era buildings before arriving in Moscow, but what we found was elegant European architecture. Grand buildings, […]

Moscow’s Magnificent Metro

August 11, 2015 By Lauren 2 Comments

As filled with luxury malls as Las Vegas and shopping streets that are like Chicago’s Magnificent Mile on steroids. Sparkling, affluent, businesslike, but still culturally […]

Taking it Easy in Kuala Lumpur

July 16, 2015 By Lauren 1 Comment

Kuala Lumpur is a very livable city. Although we got a sense of this when we first arrived and saw the clean streets and luxurious shopping malls, it was further reinforced during the week’s time we spent there without much of an agenda at all. We needed to be in KL long enough for Chris […]
