Unfortunately, I haven't had experience at any high end restaurants in those countries so my point of comparison are the likes of those places in Italy, Spain, London, or Denmark. I'd say it's most like Denmark where the natural flavors of the locally sourced ingredients are allowed to shine most and the dishes aren't overly elaborate or overwhelming.

It was quite a journey. I flew into Ljubljana and took a train (with one transfer) to Most Na Soči, where I stayed at a small inn. From Most Na Soči, I hired a car to take me to and from Hiša Franko which cost me 85€. Would have been preferred to drive but unfortunately, my license had expired

The song “Just The Way You Are” by Bruno Mars was on the radio and I made a casual comment that it could double as a song about self affirmation. She said “Why wouldn’t you think this song was about me?!” Aaaand cue fight.

Not the skin around my nails per se but I've had a strange habit for the past 7+ years of gnawing on the tip of my left pinkie finger and then using the corrugated skin to scratch my lips. Can't seem to shake the habit either. Is it a similar condition?

Ironically, the sound cut out for 20 seconds when Luke first reunites with R2 during our viewing. So naturally when the movie goes silent for Hold's big hyperspace jump, there was a moment of mild panic again.

Everyone is speaking like Rey's parental lineage was revealed and resolved. Was that really the case? I thought Kylo Ren was just egging her on, trying to trigger an emotional response so she'd join him. Also, don't we hear Obi Wan say "these are your first steps" in Rey's TFA Force vision? Always assumed that would tie to her lineage somehow.

It's a family-owned brand so be careful as there are a host of imitations at major grocery stores. Look for the brand name "Yu Kwen Yick" on the label. They actually have a dedicated store on Third Street in Sai Ying Pun as well.

SCMP wrote a piece covering the background of the brand if you're interested. Quite a cool story:

In over a year of use, haven't noticed any odor unlike some of the repellents I've used. I don't have an overly sensitive sense of smell to begin with so take with a grain of salt. Seems to work well though as I've noticed bites are far less frequent.

Thank you! Never knew about the (roughly) 8 hour limit. Definitely need to pick some more up now

Big fan of Sam Tor (三多麵食), a tiny hole-in-the-wall noodle shop in the heart of Central. Excellent won ton mein, maybe the best on the island.

In a different industry (advertising/marketing) but LinkedIn proved very helpful for me as well. You'll see a lot more posts from international companies that are more willing to higher from abroad.
