One Day In… Magic Fountain Montjuic, Barcelona Spain
I was mesmerised by the Magic Fountain show when we were in Barcelona. Of course, I had planned to go there for the show to experience the magical moment of combining music with water to express the emotions of the songs. It was worth the time and agony to brace the freezing wind during the performance. I did not include this video in my previous post TOP Things To Do In Barcelona to showcase the magnificent fountain. So I decided to do it justice by adding this video here to share with all of you. Additional information about the timing of the show. Goldilocks Lifestyle Travel - Blog

Tokyo Hotel Reviews
In my recent trip to Tokyo, I had stayed in 3 different hotels. I know, you must be thinking “why in the world would I do that?”. Well, I don’t blame you because I hate changing hotels with the packing and unpacking, the boring waiting time to check in and getting used to the new bed and pillows… My reason is I planned a day travel out of Tokyo to the nearest onsen town, Hakone for a one night stay. Since I broke the whole 7-day Tokyo trip into two, so I might as well enjoy staying in another hotel to try the hospitality of Tokyoites. Therefore, this blog is…

Leaning Tower of Pisa
When my travel partner and I were in Florence, we made an impromptu decision of going for a half a day trip to see the famous Leaning Tower of Pisa.

So, that day we went to Pisa, was a gloomy day. The sky was covered with grey clouds and it looked like it was going to rain. But this had not stopped us from having a good time there. We took the regional train early…

An over-commercialised place that tourists should beware of? Little did I know that Rome would leave a charming and memorable impression on both my partner and me, and arguably it became the highlight of our Italy trip.
