Hi there! Pickle Deli Square is a collection of my experiences living, eating, and traveling the world. Currently an expat based in Valencia, on the Mediterranean coast of Spain.
Aum Leki Farmstay and cooking class, Punakha
A magical home in the clouds, where we learned how to make Bhutan’s national dish, ema datshi, chili cheese.
Bhaktapur snack: juju dhau, the ”king of yogurt”
The most luscious, silky, refreshing yogurt.
Trip Report: Thai Airways PVG-BKK A350 Royal Silk Business Class
A pleasant flight with some interesting non-alcoholic drinks and many desserts.
Trip Report: Air China Economy Class Airbus A320 Harbin - Shanghai PVG
If I’m comparing Air China (HRB-PVG) vs. China Southern (PVG-HRB), I’d say China Southern wins hands-down.
Harbin Metro: Maybe the Most User-Friendly Interaction Design?
The best, most useful interaction design.
Harbin's Red Sausage and Lieba bread: as big as a dinner plate!
This is a souvenir I was excited to purchase!
Harbin Eats: Guobao Rou, Borscht, and Cityscapes
Eating the hearty cuisine of Dongbei.
Seeing Harbin Ice Festival (and how to get there by subway)
What is known as “Harbin Ice Festival” is actually composed of a few different expos and venues, two of which are the “Sun Island International Snow Sculpture Art Expo” and “Harbin Ice and Snow World.”
Relief: Shangri-La Harbin Songbei Hotel
After the horrible experience at the city-center hotel, I found relief at the Shangri-La.
A Day of Eating at Harbin's Daoli Market!
Stuffing my face for breakfast… and then lunch too.
Scary: Harbin Huasu/Shiju/Ji Feng/Yu Feng/Royal Maple Hotel
Like arriving at a horror movie set, at a hotel which just couldn’t get its name straight.
Trip Report: China Southern Economy Class A321 Shanghai PVG - Harbin
Clearly superior service as compared to my Air China flight a couple days later in the opposite direction. Tried both of the hot main course options on this 2.5 hour “snack” service!
