searching the perfect expo

Location: China pavilion
City: Shanghai, China

Imagine the hours of waiting in line to enter this mega US$160 million estimated China Pavilion built for the world expo at Shanghai. Honestly the wait was ridiculous but was pretty amazed what China portrayed inside the building. The architecture is almost perfect and every little detail is taken care of, including restrooms inside this mega building.

searching the perfect tourist attraction

Location: Times Square
City: New York

Have you seen the spectacular view of Times Square at night? It was really the most amazing experience to be right in the middle of Times Square, right where Alicia keys sings at her MTV with Jay Z, and be awed by the people, sound and the lightings. You can feel the energy and the excitement of the city standing right there. Be enchanted by the activities around the area, book yourselves to broadway musicals; I would highly recommend Wicked or The Lion King but definitely there are a few excellent musicals for you to choose from.

Atmosphere: 10 for excitement
Taste: Full of energy and colors
Price: priceless
Overall rating: 10

searching the perfect brunch_part2

Location: Marina Del rey
City: Los Angeles

This is a really cute place to have breakfast, such a pity i forgot the name. The place is not very crowded but wonderfully decorated. Take look at what we ordered from brunch:

This is really the best French Toast i have ever eaten or seen. Wonderfully buttered honey thick toast cooked with perfection drizzled with raspberry syrup and top with berries and Vanilla ice cream. What a wonderful yet sinful way to start the day.

Atmosphere: 8/10...will be perfect without the glaring sun
Taste: 10/10 for this french toast
Price: $$
Overall rating: 7/10...still prefers Balthazar at new york, the french toast is their specialty and the rest of the menu is not that fantastic

Perfection verdict: Perfection for the french toast, not really a place that I will visit again next in LA but definitely a must try for those of you who wanted to get your taste buds on their french toast.
